On the slave amplifier be sure to turn off all crossovers. For the speaker connections, connect the positive (+) speaker lead from the speaker to the positive (+) speaker terminal of the master amplifier. On the negative (-) speaker connection, take the negative (-) speaker terminal of the master amplifier and connect it directly to the negative (-) speaker terminal of the slave amplifier. The remaining positive (+) speaker terminal of the slave amplifier must be connected to the negative (-) speaker lead from the speaker. The impedance of the speaker must not exceed 2W. NOTE: For best results, connect both negative speaker terminals on the master amp to both negative terminals on the slave amp using at least 12 AWG cable. The Orion 2500D is not designed to work in a bridged or strapped configuration. Attempting to apply these configurations will damage the amplifier and will not be covered under warranty. 12 © 2006 Directed Electronics, all rights reserved MASTER AMPLIFIER PHASE SLAVE AMPLIFIER PHASE MASTER SLAVE 0° 180° MASTER SLAVE 0° 180° AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION Choosing Mounting Locations The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low profile 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 premature thermal shutdown. Do not mount any amplifier in the engine compartment. Amplifiers are not designed to endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements. WARNING! Passenger Compartment If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have adequate room for ventilation. The amplifiers have been designed to make under-seat mounting possible. When mounting your amplifier under a seat or similar area, keep a minimum of 1" of clearance around the amplifier for adequate cooling. 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. © 2006 Directed Electronics, all rights reserved 13 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. Failing to securely mount the amplifier can result in damage or injury, particularly in the event of an accident. An unmounted amplifier becomes a dangerous projectile in the event of a crash. [. . . ] Light Off W/O Service Code Top light is off, but service codes will not be shown. Light On W/O Service Code Top light is on, but service codes will not be shown. When On learns the amplifier learns the remotes (press arm and then disarm on just one of the remotes) used by a Directed Electronics ESP®-2 security system. If any remotes are added or replaced in the system your vehicle must be returned to the dealer to have the amplifier learn the new/replaced remotes. [. . . ]
