Amplifier Installation

Choosing Mounting Locations

The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues.. Due to the low profile size of the Orion amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance.. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements.. In addition, mount the amplifier on a stable, flat surface..

NOTE: Mounting amplifiers upside down is not recommended and may cause premature thermal shutdown.

WARNING! Do not mount any amplifier in the engine compart- ment. Amplifiers are not designed to endure the harsh envi- ronment of the exterior elements.

Passenger Compartment

If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compart- ment, make sure you have adequate room for ventilation.. The amplifi- ers have been designed to make under-seat mounting possible.. When mounting your amplifier under a seat or similar area, keep a minimum of 1” of clearance around the amplifier for adequate cooling..

Trunk Compartment

Mounting your amplifier in the trunk provides excellent performance as long as you do not restrict the airflow around the heatsink of the

amplifier.. For optimal results, mount the amplifier with as much clear- ance as possible.. This type of mounting will yield the best cooling due to the convection effect of the amplifier chassis..

General Precautions and Installation Tips

WARNING! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, or electrical wiring when working on your vehicle..

Disconnect the vehicle’s ground wire at the battery before making or breaking connections to the audio system’s power supply terminals..

Do not use this amplifier unmounted.. Failing to securely mount the amplifier can result in damage or injury, particularly in the event of an accident.. An unmounted amplifier becomes a dangerous projectile in the event of a crash.. Never mount the amplifier where it might get wet.. Mount the amplifier so the wire connections will not be pulled.. Route the wires where they will not be scraped, pinched or damaged in any fashion..

The +12V power supply wire must be fused as close as possible to the battery terminal, ideally within 12”.. Use the recommended fuse size or circuit breaker listed in the Power Connections section of this manual..

If you need to replace the fuse plugged into the side of the amplifier, replace the fuse with the same size and type fuse that came with the amplifier.. If you are not sure as to the correct value, refer to the Power Connections section of this manual for details.. Using a higher current fuse may result in damage to the amplifier that is not covered under warranty..
