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. 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 h

Hiss, or white noise 1 - High levels of white noise usually occurs when amplifier level controls are turned up too high - readjust according to the procedures in section ”Setting up systems after installation for best performance” 2 - Another major problem that can cause excessive hiss, is a noisy head unit - unplug the amplifier input RCA cables, and if the hiss level reduces, the source unit is at fault. Electrical interference The inside of an automobile is a very hostile electrical environme
The next step is to scrape the paint off the vehicle chassis , slightly larger than the ground lug, at the connection point. Drill a clearance hole in the chassis, the same size as the lug hole, and use a bolt, spring washer and nut to securely fasten the ground lug. Use petroleum jelly to coat the bolt/lug connection, to prevent oxidization with time. TIP: Use the same approach when installing head units, equalizers or any audio equipment for that matter - run short individual grounds from each
This feature provides impact to your bass, but if not adjusted correctly, it can be over used and cause damage to your speakers and amplifiers. It is best to slowly turn this setting clockwise until the desired punch is felt. It is not recommended to exceed the 12 o’clock position unless listening at a low volume or a low recording quality as this can result in high distortion and possibly clipping. Low Pass: The Low Pass control acts as a ceiling and doesn’t allow frequencies to the right of th

Lower power amplifiers will clip earlier than their more powerful cousins, and cause loudspeaker failure when overdriven, due to the harmonics generated by a clipped signal, thus overheating voice coils. Amplifiers should be mounted with the fins running horizontally for best convection cooling, to minimize overheating. Purchase the best quality RCA cables you can afford, for reliability and less engine noise interference in the audio system. It is highly recommended that the amplifier be mounte

(When ORION amplifiers are not used, the ORION PPS 100 Phantom Power Supply is required.) LOWS AMPLIFIER SUBWOOFERS This diagram shows a method for summing only the lows and permitting the midrange and highs to remain in stereo. In this system, an ORION 200 CRX Active Crossover is used to separate the lows from the highs as described in figure 5, and the 400 BDG Bridging Module is connected only to the lows side. In this way, the midrange and high frequencies are applied to the highs amplifie
This mode can be used to provide more power to the subwoofer while maintaining stereo left and right. In this system, the 400 BDG Bridging Module accepts the stereo inputs and turns one channel over 180 degrees (inverts the channel). Both channel outputs of the amplifier are now connected to the subwoofer with the inverted channel being used as the negative input. This works because the two channels are 180 degrees out-of-phase. The left mid/high speaker is connected normally, but the connecti
