AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Signal Input and Output Configurations The input section of the amplifier consists of a phase switch that sets the output configura- tion, gain controls, and RCA inputs. The input section makes it easy to adapt this amplifier to most system configurations. Input Gain The Orion HCCA D600 amplifier has a level adjustment to allow for easy integration with any source unit. The input sensitivity can be adjusted from 150mV to 5V. Refer to Testing the System and Adjusting the Sound

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 The low-pass crossover adjusts the upper crossover of the filter and is continuously variable from 30Hz to 250Hz. Fine Tuning the Crossovers The low-pass and high-pass crossover sections are each marked at four frequency points for ease of system adjustment. The low-pass crossover section is marked at

Infinite Baffle Example High-Pass Set at 30Hz By removing low frequency signal that the woofer cannot produce, the woofer can play its capable range louder. The first example is an infinite baffle situation. The left graph displays the frequency response of a 12-inch woofer in an infinite baffle application without the high-pass filter, with the filter and with the filter and the INTELLi Q set to +3dB. As you can see, with +3dB of boost and the high pass filter set to 30Hz, the woofer has more o

Sealed Example High-Pass Set at 20Hz This sealed example is the same 12-inch woofer in the recommended sealed enclosure. Up to 6 dB of boost is capable if 20 Hz was used. With +6dB of boost, the woofer has more out- put down to 15 Hz. Sealed Example High-Pass Set at 30Hz In this example, the frequency has been increased to 30 Hz. Up to 6 dB of boost is capable at this frequency. With +6dB of boost, the woofer has more output down to 23 Hz. The overall usable output is increased. Vented Example H

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 RGC-1 plugs into the amplifier via the 1/8" mini jack plug. The RGC-1 can be installed in the front of the vehicle to control the amplifier gain level. The RGC-1 can be used as a bass level contro

Bridging For bridging into a single speaker load, this amplifier has the ability to be bridged with another amplifier (must be the same model). To do this you must utilize the MASTER/SLAVE and PHASE switch settings. On the master amplifier, set the switch setting to MASTER. The signal is then routed through RCA Line Out to the RCA Line In on the other (slave) amplifi- er. The slave amplifier must have the MASTER/SLAVE switch set to the SLAVE position. On the master amplifier make sure the PHASE

NOTE: The wiring connections to the power, remote and speaker terminals should be accomplished before the amplifier is mounted. NOTE: Mounting amplifiers upside down is not recommended and may cause premature thermal shutdown. WARNING! Do not mount any amplifier in the engine compartment. Amplifiers are not designed to endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements. Passenger Compartment If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have adequate room

Orion amplifiers generate a certain amount of heat as part of normal operation. Be sure the area around the amplifier is unobstructed to allow adequate air circulation. Remember, beach blankets, last week's laundry, school books and homework papers located on top of the amplifier do not improve air flow and may become damaged. Tools of the Trade Listed below are the majority of the tools required to perform an installation. Having the proper tools will make the installation that much easier. Som

Controls and Speaker Connections sections of this guide for correct wiring instructions. Step 9 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 10 Reconnect the ground terminal to the battery after power, speaker, and RCA connections are completed. Step 11 Set LPF crossover.

Connections and the Troubleshooting Tips sections of this manual to solve your installation problems. Step 6 Check to make sure the output for each channel is correct. If the active crossovers are used, check to make sure that each output is correct from the amplifier. When using active crossovers on midrange and tweeters, do not use crossover frequencies lower than recommended. If the system is not con- figured properly, refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual and t
