AMPLIFIER INST ALLA TION Choosing Mounting Locations The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low pro- file size of the Orion amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance.
Power for systems with a single amplifier can be supplied by most automotive electrical sys- tems. Systems with multiple amplifiers may require a higher capacity battery , alternator or the use of a storage capacitor . We strongly recommend the use of a Directed Audio Essentials power capacitor with an extra battery in larger stereo systems.
Step 6 T urn the vehicle's key switch to the off position. Step 7 Disconnect the vehicle's battery ground terminal. Step 8 Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier . Check the quality of your speakers and signal connections. This will determine the ultimate per- formance of your Orion amplifier .
Adjusting the Sound of the System Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system. Adjusting the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal crossovers. Step 1 T urn the signal source volume control all the way down.
T roubleshooting Tips Symptom Probable Cause Action T o T ake No output Low or no remote turn-on Check remote turn-on voltage at voltage amplifier and repair as needed. Fuse blown Check power wire's integrity and check for speaker shorts. Fix as needed and replace fuse.
Symptom Probable Cause Action T o T ake Distorted output Internal crossover not set Readjust crossovers.
