INTRODUCTION

You

have

purchased

the

finest

car

audio

power

amplifier

available

on

the

market.

ORION

amplifiers

really

do

set

new

standards

for

performance

and

re¬

liability.

They

are

superbly

crafted

and

precision

calibrated.

If

you

install

each

amplifier

properly

with

careful

attention

to

all

the

details

covered

in

this

manual,

you

will

be

astonished

with

the

quality

of

sound

and

you

will

have

an

audio

system

that

you

can

be

proud

of

and

enjoy

for

many

years.

All

ORION

amplifiers

are

built

in

the

U.S.A.

from

the

ground

up

specifically

for

high

performance

stereo

systems.

Car

stereo

systems

are

our

only

business.

•

All

ORION

amplifiers

and

accessories

are

manu¬

factured

to

exacting

military

standards.

Extensive

testing

and

burn-in

makes

for

super

reliability

in

even

the

toughest

situations.

•

Each

amplifier

contains

a

+15

volt

power

supply

which

also

services

ORION

accessories

(“phantom

power”).

This

ensures

maximum

dynamic

per¬

formance

from

all

accessories

while

maintaining

optimum

ground

isolation

to

minimize

potential

engine

noise.

A

POWER

indicator

light

is

included.

•

Variable

PLANNING

YOUR

CAR

AUDIO

SYSTEM

It

is

important

that

you

decide

what

you

are

trying

to

achieve.

Car

audio

systems

can

vary

from

merely

upgrading

your

existing

factory

installation

to

multi¬

amplifier

systems

that

include

equalizers,

bridging

modules,

crossover

modules,

low

pass

filters,

high

pass

filters,

and

a

variety

of

speakers.

This

section

contains

the

simple

approaches

to

audio

system

design

to

the

very

complex.

By

studying

the

diagrams,

you

will

see

that

you

can

start

with

a

relatively

simple

system

that

can

gradually

grow

by

adding

accessories

and

additional

amplifiers.

If

you

want

a

without

having

to

install

special

speakers

in

your

car,

a

single

will

do

an

excellent

job

for

you.

Adding

Equalization.

To

improve

the

system

even

more,

you

could

add

an

equalizer,

such

as

an

Equalizer,

600

or

(see

The

equalizer

would

be

inserted

in

the

system

between

the

deck

and

the

amplifier

as

shown

in

If

will

want

to

use

amplifier

for

each

pair

of
