slowly turn up the volume control only after double checking all wire connections.

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.

Orion amplifiers generate a certain amount of heat as part of normal operation. Be sure the area around the amplifier is unobstructed to allow adequate air circulation. Remember, beach blankets, last week's laundry, school books and homework papers located on top of the amplifier do not improve air flow and may become damaged.

Step By Step Installation

NOTE: Connect all input, power and speaker connections to amplifier before mounting the amplifier in its final location.

Step 1 Determine the location for the amplifier. Refer to the Choosing Mounting Locations section of this guide for detailed information.

Step 2 Decide on the system configuration for your amplifier. For system sugges- tions, refer to the Speaker Connections section of this guide.

Step 3 Run all the wires from the amplifier location to the speakers, source unit, and battery. Do not connect the battery at this time. Be sure to run RCAs and power and speaker wires away from factory electrical wires and system as they pose a great potential for induced system noise.

Step 6 Turn the vehicle's key switch to the off position.
