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.

Tools of the Trade

Listed below are the majority of the tools required to perform an installation. Having the proper tools will make the installation that much easier. Some of these tools are necessities; some will just make the job easier.

Allen Wrenches (2.5mm and 3mm)

DMM or VOM

Electric drill with assorted drill bits

Grommets

Heat shrink tubing

Marking pen

Nylon tie straps

Phillips and flat blade screw drivers

Pliers (standard and needle nose)

Reference CD with 1 kHz Sine Wave at 0dB level (all bits high)

RTA (real time analyzer)

Soldering iron and solder

Utility knife

Wire brush or sandpaper for chassis grounding

Wire crimper

Wire cutters

Wire strippers

Step By Step Installation

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 4 Pre-drill amplifier mounting holes. Be sure to "think before you drill". Gas tanks, fuel lines, and other obstructions have a nasty way of hiding them- selves. For best results use a marking pen to mark the mounting holes and pre-drill these holes with a standard 1/8" drill bit.

Step 5 Mount the amplifier. Make sure the amplifier is mounted on a flat surface. If this is not possible, do not over tighten the screws so that the chassis of the
