PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™ Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent hearing loss. High power automotive sound systems can generate sound pressure levels in excess of 130dB. When playing your system at high levels, please use hearing protection and avoid long term exposure. RECORD YOUR SERIAL NUMBER AND DATE To ensure your warranty (see back cover), please record the following information regard- ing your new amplifier. Model: _________________________________________

WARNING! DO NOT set crossover frequencies lower than the speakers recommended operating range. This can cause driver failure that is not covered by the man- ufacturer's warranty. Low-Pass Crossover When the switch is to the left (OFF position), the low-pass crossover is bypassed. When the switch is in the middle (12 position), the low-pass crossover is active with a 2nd order (12dB per octave) slope. When the switch is to the right (24 position), the low-pass crossover is active with a 4th orde

Remote Gain Operation NOTE: Do not use the Remote Gain control when you have an expanded system installed (see Line Ouput Configurations). The Slave amplifier(s) gain will not be controlled. The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the HCCA power amplifier. The HP-RB1 plugs into the amplifier via the 1/8" mini jack plug. The HP-RB1 can be installed in the front of the vehicle to control the amplifier gain level. The HP-RB1 can be used as a bass level con

Speaker Connections The Orion HCCA-D1200, HCCA-D2400, and HCCA-D5000 amplifiers offer two positive and two negative output terminals for ease of connecting the speakers to the amplifier. Since these are mono amplifiers, the speaker connectors are paralleled internally. Each amplifier is stable to 1W. See diagrams below. MASTER SLAVE Bridging For bridging into a single speaker load, the Orion HCCA-D1200 and HCCA-D2400 have the ability to be bridged with another amplifier of the

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
