Bridging For bridging into a single speaker load, the Orion Cobalt CO500 . and CO800 . have the ability to be bridged with another amplifier of the same model . To do this you must set the PHASE switch on the (slave) amp, move the phase switch from 0 to 80, exactly opposite of the master amp . Refer to the Phase Switch section of this guide . Be sure to set all adjustment on both amplifiers exactly the same except for the phase switch . The phase switch on the master amplifier should be

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 amplifier with as much clearance as possible . This type of mounting will yield the best cooling due to the convection effect of the amplifier chassis . General Precautions and Installation Tips WARNING! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake lines, hydraulic lines, vacu
