AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Four-Channel Amplifier Input Configuration The 4CH / 2 CH switch routes input from the front inputs to the rear section of the amplifi- er. This allows the Orion 4004 channel amplifier to utilize a single set of RCA's or high-level inputs to feed signal to bot

the System sections for detailed instructions on setting up the level controls. INTELLi Bass Control INTELLi Bass on the rear channels maximizes the performance of a subwoofer and allows for continuous adjustment of low frequency boost on the rear channels. INTELLi Bass can be adjusted from 0dB to 16dB of boost centered at 45Hz. Initially the Q is very low (wide). As INTELLi Bass is added, the Q rises (narrows). This allows the Orion 4004 to overcome acoustic deficiencies in your vehicle. The ty

Speaker Connections Four Channel Stereo Configuration ● Front and rear channel lowest recommended impedance is 2W stereo. ● Crossover mode, output, and gain configurations are independently adjustable between the front and rear channels. ● Two-channel or four-channel input can be used for this configuration. For source unit fading, use the four-channel input mode. ● Front and rear outputs can be configured for high-pass, low-pass, or full range operation. Three Channel Stereo/Bridged Configurat

Tri-Mode Six Channel Configuration ● Lowest recommended impedance is 2W stereo and 4W bridged mono. ● Front and rear outputs must be set for full range operation. ● Passive crossovers must be used on all components and frequencies must not overlap. WARNING! Failure to observe these requirements may result in damage to the amplifier. 9 ©2004 Directed Electronics, Inc.

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 premat

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 ci

Step 6 Turn the vehicle's key switch to the off position. Step 7 Disconnect the vehicle's battery ground terminal. Step 8 Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier. Check the quality of your speakers and signal connections. This will determine the ultimate per- formance of your Orion amplifier. Refer to the Signal Input and Output Level Controls and Speaker Connections sections of this manual for correct wiring instructions. Step 9 Connect power wires to the amplifier. At this time do

Adjusting the Sound of the System Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system. Adjusting the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal crossovers. Step 1 Turn the signal source volume control all the way down. Set any tone con- trols to their flat or defeated positions. This includes the loudness control. Step 2 Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions. Step 3 Choose music with high dyn
