Internal Crossover

The crossover section of the Orion Cobalt CO300..2 and CO600..2 amplifiers is continuously vari- able and extremely flexible..

When using Orion Cobalt loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recommended frequency ranges can provide superior results depending on your speaker locations and your vehicle acoustics.. Setting crossover frequencies higher than recommended will not cause damage and may provide superior sonic results depending on your system's performance goals.. Refer to your loudspeaker owner's manual for assistance in choosing the proper crossover frequencies for your system..

Low-Pass Crossover

The low-pass crossover is active with a 2nd order (12dB per octave) slope.. The low-pass crossover is continuously variable from 50Hz to 500Hz..

High-Pass Crossover

When the switch is to the left (FULL position), the high-pass crossover is bypassed.. When the switch is to the right (HPF position), the high-pass crossover is active.. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 50Hz to 500Hz..
