when making or breaking connections to the input RCAs or speaker

terminals. 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.
