[. . . ] . 5 Signal Input and Output Level Controls . . 6 Four-Channel Amplifier Input Configuration . . 7 Infinite Baffle Example High-Pass Set at 30Hz . . 8 Sealed Example High-Pass Set at 20Hz . [. . . ] Front and rear outputs can be configured for high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, or full range operation. Front and rear outputs can be configured for stereo (right channels will have right output, left channels will have left output) or summed two-channel operation (front speaker bridged, rear speaker bridged). Lowest recommended impedance for the subwoofer channel is 2W. The subwoofer channel can use internal or external input. If the source unit has a separate subwoofer out, use the external input configuration. ©2003 Directed Electronics, Inc. 11 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. 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. Never mount the amplifier where it might get wet. Mount the amplifier so the wire connections will not be pulled. Route the wires where they will not be scraped, pinched or damaged in any fashion. The +12V power supply wire must be fused as close as possible to the battery terminal, ideally within 18".
