recommended in two configurations. (Please see Wiring Configurations for more details.) 1) Front Stereo Configuration One Maxx Bass ® Processor is used between the front channel source and front speaker amplifier to increase the bass response on only the front speakers.
This is accomplished using the science of psychoacoustics on how we perceive sound. By building audio systems optimized for how we hear sound, significant performance improvements can be obtained. This is analogous to designing and building televisions that only display red, green and blue dots.

WIRING CONFIGURA TIONS The Maxx Bass ® Processor is recommended in two different configurations. 1. Front Ster eo Configuration The figure below illustrates the wiring for a front stereo configuration.
2. Dual Stereo Configurations For systems without rear subwoofers, the user may prefer to use two Maxx Bass ® Processors, one for the front speakers and one for the rear speakers. The units should be wired between the in-dash CD Receiver and the power amplifiers as shown below .
The ground wire should be of the same gauge wire as the power wire. As a rule of thumb, use as short length of wire as possible. Find a location near the Maxx Bass ® Processor that is metal ( the floor is ideal) and clean an area about the size of a quarter to bare metal.
INPUT T o use Speaker Level Inputs (common ground head units only), connect RCA plugs to the front or rear speaker leads as shown. NOTE: It is important to connect an input signal to both RCA input jacks if a stereo amplifier is used, otherwise the connected channel receives full range and the disconnected channel will receive only the harmonics.
MAXX BASS ® PROCESSOR SETTINGS T o achieve proper performance it is important to set or tune the settings on the Maxx Bass ® Processor to the final system. This section recommends initial settings and the users can then further adjust these for optimal listening.
TROUBLESHOOTING NO SOUND Is the POWER LED lit? YES NO Check Input cables for signal by Check power and remote Connecting them straight to the turn-on wire for voltage. Subwoofer amplifier . Make sure the ground wire is Secure. ANY SOUND NOW? YES NO Problem is in the Crossover .
OPPOSITE CHANNEL SAME CHANNEL Reverse RCAs to head unit Problem is in the Crossover . (Check Balance Control) See your local Authorized Orion dealer . SOUND IS NOW IN OPPOSITE CHANNEL SAME CHANNEL Problem is in the head unit. Problem is in the RCA cables.
