NOTE: Make sure all the equipment in the system is turned off when making or breaking connections to the input RCA’s or speaker termi- nals. Turn on the system and 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 systems. Systems with multiple amplifiers may require a higher capacity battery, alternator or the use of a storage capacitor. We strongly recommend the use of an Orion Wired 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.

You must first remove the top cover (see Removing the Top Cover section) then end caps to mount the amplifier (mounting holes are within). (1) Remove the screws first, (2) lift the end cap straight up to detach from unit and then (3) pull away from the amplifier. Once mounted replace end caps by following this process in reverse.
