Tri-Mode Three Channel Configuration
●Lowest recommended impedance is 2W stereo and 4W bridged mono.
●Stereo operation must be used.
●Outputs must be configured for full range operation
●Output is configured stereo and summed bridged.
●Passive crossover frequencies must not overlap.
WARNING! Failure to observe these requirements may result in damage to the amplifier.
AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION
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. 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 compartment. Amplifiers are not designed to endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements.
Passenger Compartment
If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have adequate room for ventilation. The amplifiers have been designed to make
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
