AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Stereo / Mono Input Configuration The STEREO / MONO switch allows the Orion 2002 and 3002 amplifiers to use a single RCA or high-level input to feed signal to both the right and left channels of the amplifier. When the switch is to the right (MONO position), signal from the left input is routed to the right channel. This is the preferred mode when bridging the amplifier into a single speak- er. When the switch is to the left (STEREO position), right and left inputs are indepen

High-Pass Crossover When the switch is to the left (FULL position), the high-pass crossover is bypassed. When the switch is in the middle (HIGH position), the high-pass crossover is active. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 20Hz to 3kHz. Input Gain The Orion 2002 and 3002 amplifiers have gain adjustments with an input sensitivity range from 200mV up to 5V on the RCA inputs and 1V to 10 on the high-level inputs. This allows easy integration from any source unit either with RCA

AMPLIFIER WIRING Power Connections ● Orion 2002 Fuse Size: (1) 25 AMP ● Orion 3002 Fuse Size: (1) 30 AMP ● Minimum 8 AWG power and ground cable is recommended for acceptable per- formance. ● Fuse power wire prior to wire passing through panels or near sharp edges and less than 18" from battery. ● Ground amplifier to a good chassis ground as close as possible to the amplifier. ● Add extra ground wire (minimum 8 AWG) between the negative terminal of the battery and the chassis. NOTE: The addition

Summed Bridged Configuration ● Lowest recommended impedance is 4W bridged mono. ● Mono or stereo input can be used for this configuration. ● Outputs can be configured for high-pass, low-pass, or full range operation. ● Output is configured as summed bridged which is ideal for subwoofer applications. Single Channel Bridged Configuration ● Lowest recommended impedance is 4W mono. ● Mono input must be used for this configuration. Only the Left input is used. ● Outputs can be configured for high-pas

Tri-Mode Three Channel Configuration ● Lowest recommended impedance is 2W stereo and 4W bridged mono. ● Stereo operation must be used. ● Outputs must be configured for full range operation ● Output is configured stereo and summed bridged. ● Passive crossover frequencies must not overlap. WARNING! Failure to observe these requirements may result in damage to the amplifier.

amplifier with as much clearance as possible. This type of mounting will yield the best cool- ing 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, vacuum lines, or electrical wiring when working on your vehicle. Disconnect the vehicle's ground wire at the battery before making or breaking connections to the audio system's power supply terminals. Do not

SET UP AND TROUBLESHOOTING Testing the System After you have completed the installation, you need to test the system. This will help ensure years of trouble-free operation. Please refer to the listed steps below when testing the sound of your Orion system. Step 1 Check all the wiring connections to be sure they are correct and secure. Step 2 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. Ste

Step 6 Turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output. Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels. Step 7 Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instruc- tions. Step 8 Repeat Steps 5-7 for the rear speakers. If you do not have rear spe
