page 31 • Lowest Recommended Impedance is 2 Ω stereo and 4 Ω bridged mono. • RCA inputs are connected to both left and right channels • Left Phase switch set to 0 ° • Right Phase switch is set to 180 ° , Speaker polarity on the right channel must be inverted to maintain proper speaker polarity .
INPUT SECTION The input section of the amplifier consists of separate phase switches that set output configuration, separate left and right gain controls and RCA inputs. The input section makes it easy to adapt this amplifier to most system configurations PHASE SWITCHES The XTREME amplifier has separate left and right phase control switches.
Setting 4 inverts the output of both the left and right channels. Both left and right gain controls are active. This configuration is useful for inverting one set of speakers like rear speakers in front/rear system to improve staging in a vehicle. Setting 5 inverts the output of the left channel.
INTERNAL CROSSOVER SECTION The crossover section of the XTREME amplifier is continuously variable and ex- tremely flexible. There are eight different crossover configurations possible allow- ing high-pass, low-pass and band-pass configurations. New for ORION amplifiers is the INTELLi Q feature on the high-pass crossover .
FINE TUNING THE LOW-P ASS CROSSOVER The crossover section is marked at four frequency points for ease of system adjustment. These points are 45 Hz, 175 Hz , 600 Hz and 5,000 Hz. Specific crossover points can be to be chosen based on the recommended operational bandwidth of your speakers.
HIGH-P ASS CROSSOVER When both push buttons are in the “ out ” position, the high-pass crossover is by- passed. MID AND TWEETERS When both push buttons are in the “ in ” position, the high-pass crossover is active in the “ HIGH ” frequency range.
FINE TUNING THE HIGH-P ASS CROSSOVER “ HIGH RANGE ” The crossover section is marked at four frequency points for ease of system adjustment. These points are 10 Hz, 35 Hz , 120 Hz and 1 kHz. Specific crossover points can be to be chosen based on the recommended operational bandwidth of your speakers.

Incorporated in the high-pass crossover , INTELLi Q maximizes the per formance of a subwoofer . The high-pass subsonic filter removes unwanted bass output from the woofer , increasing the output of a subwoofer by as much as 3 dB due to the increased mechanical power handling.
INFINITE BAFFLE EXAMPLE HIGH-P ASS SET @ 30Hz By removing low frequency signal which the woofer cannot produce, the woofer can play its capable range louder The first example is an infinite baffle situation.
SEALED EXAMPLE HIGH-P ASS SET @ 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. Overall usable output is increased. VENTED EXAMPLE HIGH-P ASS SET @ 30Hz V ented enclosure benefit most from the INTELLi Q.
AUXILIARY OUTPUT SECTION The auxiliary outputs offer ORION amplifiers easy unlimited system expansion . Routing signal from a source unit, pre-amplifier or equalizer is a matter of routing RCAs into the RCA Inputs and out the AUX outputs to the next XTREME or HCCA amplifier in the signal chain.
Remote Gain Section The remote gain port provides easy remote access to the internal gain structure of the XTREME 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 am- plifier gain level.
INST ALLA TION TIPS TOOLS FOR THE TRADE Listed are the majority of the tools required to perform the installation. Having the proper tools will make the installation that much easier . Some of these tools ar e necessities. Some make the job much easier .

page 46 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INST ALLA TION TIPS Caution: 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.
page 47 STEP BY STEP INST ALLA TION Step 1 Determine the location for the amplifier . Refer to the Mounting Locations section in this manual for detailed information. Step 2 Decide on the system configuration for your amplifier . For system suggestions, refer to the System Planning section of this manual.
page 48 TESTING THE SYSTEM After you have completed the installation, you need to test the system. This will help ensure years of trouble free operation. Please re- fer to the listed steps below when testing the sound of your ORION XTREME system. Step 1 Check all the wiring connections to be sure they are correct and secure.
page 49 Step 2 T urn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions. Step 3 Choose music with high dynamic content that you like, that you are familiar with and will be most often used in the system. Step 4 T urn the unit up to its highest undistorted output level.

page 52 AUTOSOUND 2000 TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS QUICK CHECK FOR TROUBLESHOOTING CAR AUDIO SYSTEMS Preface: All audio systems exhibit noise; however , if the level of noise is low enough, and the signal level high enough, noise should n ot be a problem.
page 53 B. If your muted amp is quiet, you ’ ve just joined 99.5% of car audio. Amps are usually very clean and do NOT pick up unwanted noise! Continue on to Step II. I I. DECK TO AMP . Using a new set of signal cables, connect one channel from the output of the deck directly into one channel of your clean amp.
page 54 SUMMA TION: During the design stage of your vehicles, try to avoid using extra batteries and high output alternators. Extra batteries are nothing but loads as soon as the engine is started and high output alternators usually make more noise than stock alternators.
