loudspeaker owner's manual for assistance in choosing the proper crossover frequencies for your system . Low-Pass Crossover The low-pass crossover is active with a 2nd order (2dB per octave) slope . The low-pass crossover is continuously variable from 50Hz to 500Hz . Remote Bass Operation The remote bass port provides easy remote access to the internal bass gain structure of the power amplifier . The bass gain is centered at 44Hz . The RGC-2 plugs into the amplifier via the /8" mini jack

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

results use a marking pen to mark the mounting holes and pre-drill these holes with a standard /8" drill bit . Step 5 Mount the amplifier . Make sure the amplifier is mounted on a flat surface . If this is not possible, do not over tighten the screws so that the chassis of the amplifier is twisted or bent . Step 6 Turn the vehicle's key switch to the off position . Step 7 Disconnect the vehicle's battery ground terminal . Step 8 Connect power wires to the amplifier (ground first, then 2 V(+
