AMPLIFIER SETTINGS
Stereo / Mono Input Configuration
The STEREO / MONO switch allows the Orion 2002 and 3002 amplifiers to use a single RCA
or high-level input to feed signal to both the right and left channels of the amplifier.
When the switch is to the right (MONO position), signal from the left input is routed to the
right channel. This is the preferred mode when bridging the amplifier into a single speak-
er. When the switch is to the left (STEREO position), right and left inputs are independent.
This allows a source unit with an internal balance to change the stereo imaging.
Internal Crossover Configuration
The crossover section of Orion 2002 and 3002 amplifiers are continuously variable and
extremely flexible. There are eight different crossover configurations possible allowing
high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass operation. This circuit is designed to optimize the per-
formance of subwoofers in all types of enclosures.
When using Orion loudspeakers, minor deviations from the recommended frequency
ranges can provide superior results depending on your speaker locations and your vehicle
acoustics. Setting crossover frequencies higher than recommended will not cause damage
and may provide superior sonic results depending on your system's performance goals.
Refer to your loudspeaker owner's manual for assistance in choosing the proper crossover
frequencies for your system.
WARNING! DO NOT set crossover frequencies lower than the speakers recommended
operating range. This can cause driver failure that is not covered by manufac-
turer's warranty.
Low-Pass Crossover
When the switch is to the left (FULL position), the low-pass crossover is bypassed. When the
switch is to the right (LOW position), the low-pass crossover is active. The low-pass crossover
is continuously variable from 20Hz to 3kHz.
7
©2004 Directed Electronics, Inc.
High-Pass Crossover
When the switch is to the left (FULL position), the high-pass crossover is bypassed. When the
switch is in the middle (HIGH position), the high-pass crossover is active. The high-pass
crossover is continuously variable from 20Hz to 3kHz.
Input Gain
The Orion 2002 and 3002 amplifiers have gain adjustments with an input sensitivity range
from 200mV up to 5V on the RCA inputs and 1V to 10 on the high-level inputs. This allows
easy integration from any source unit either with RCA outputs or speaker outputs. Refer to
the Testing the System and the Adjusting the Sound of the System sections for detailed
instructions on setting up the level controls.
INTELLi Bass Control
INTELLi Bass maximizes the performance of a subwoofer. INTELLi Bass allows for continuous
adjustment of low frequency boost. INTELLi Bass is a variable Q and variable frequency low
frequency boost. INTELLi Bass can be adjusted from 0dB of boost to 16dB of boost centered
at 45Hz. Initially the Q is very low. As INTELLi Bass is added, the Q becomes sharper. This
allows the Orion 2002 and 3002 to overcome acoustic deficiencies in your vehicle. The type
of enclosure used, the sub-woofer's excursion capability, personal preference, and attitude
determine acceptable boost levels.
WARNING! Exercise caution when setting INTELLi Bass. Maximum boost can
potentially cause woofer damage due to overexcursion.

AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION
Choosing Mounting Locations
The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low pro-
file 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.
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 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 min-
imum 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
11
©2004 Directed Electronics, Inc.
amplifier with as much clearance as possible. This type of mounting will yield the best cool-
ing 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.
Do not use this amplifier unmounted. 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, ide-
ally within 18". Use the recommended fuse size or circuit breaker listed in the Power
Connections section of this manual.
If you need to replace the fuse plugged into the side of the amplifier, replace the fuse with
the same size ATC / MAXI type fuse that came with the amplifier. If you are not sure as to the
correct value, refer to the Power Connections section of this manual for details. Using a high-
er current fuse may result in damage to the amplifier that is not covered under warranty.
NOTE:
Make sure all the equipment in the system is turned off when making or break-
ing connections to the input RCA's or speaker terminals. Turn on the system and
slowly turn up the volume control only after double checking all wire connections.
Power for systems with a single amplifier can be supplied by most automotive electrical sys-
tems. Systems with multiple amplifiers may require a higher capacity battery, alternator or
the use of a storage capacitor. We strongly recommend the use of a Directed Audio
Essentials power capacitor with an extra battery in larger stereo systems.
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. Some of these tools are necessities.

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Determine the location for the amplifier. Refer to the Choosing Mounting
Locations section of this guide for detailed information.
Decide on the system configuration for your amplifier. For system sugges-
tions, refer to the Speaker Connections section of this guide.
Run all the wires from the amplifier location to the speakers, source unit, and
battery. Do not connect the battery at this time. Be sure to run RCAs and
power and speaker wires away from factory electrical wires and system as
they pose a great potential for induced system noise.
Step 4
Step 5
Pre-drill amplifier mounting holes. Be sure to "think before you drill". Gas
tanks, fuel lines, and other obstructions have a nasty way of hiding them-
selves. For best results use a marking pen to mark the mounting holes and
pre-drill these holes with a standard 1/8" drill bit.
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 6
Step 7
Step 8
Turn the vehicle's key switch to the off position.
Disconnect the vehicle's battery ground terminal.
Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier. Check the quality of
your speakers and signal connections. This will determine the ultimate per-
formance of your Orion amplifier. Refer to the Signal Input and Output Level
Controls and Speaker Connections sections of this manual for correct wiring
instructions.
Step 9
Connect power wires to the amplifier. At this time do not connect the fuse at
the main battery.
Step 10 Reconnect the ground terminal to the battery.
Step 11 Set crossovers. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this
manual for detailed instructions.
Step 12 Once satisfied that all connections and settings are correct, install the fuse
located near the vehicle's battery and proceed to the Testing the System sec-
tion of this manual.
WARNING! Never exceed the recommended fuse size of this amplifier. Failure to do so
will result in voiding of your warranty and possible damage to the amplifier.

trols to their flat or defeated positions. This includes the loudness control.
Step 3
Step 4
Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions.
Turn the source unit on. Check to see if the power LED located on the con-
nection side of the amplifier is on. If not, please refer to the Power
Connections and the Troubleshooting Tips sections of this manual for instruc-
tions.
Step 5
Step 6
Step 7
If using an aftermarket source unit, turn the level controls of the amplifier
about one quarter of a turn. Slowly increase the volume level of the source
unit to so that you can hear the output of the system. If no sound is heard or
if the output is distorted, turn the system off immediately. Refer to the Power
Connections and the Troubleshooting Tips sections of this manual to solve
your installation problems.
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 take corrective action.
If the output is clear and undistorted, continue to the Adjusting the Sound
of the System section of this manual.
Adjusting the Sound of the System
Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system. Adjusting
the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the
internal crossovers.
Step 1
Turn the signal source volume control all the way down. Set any tone con-
trols to their flat or defeated positions. This includes the loudness control.
Step 2
Step 3
Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions.
Choose music with high dynamic content that you like, with which you are
familiar, and will be used most often in the system.
Step 4
Step 5
Turn the source unit's volume control up to its highest undistorted output
level. If you lack test equipment, this point occurs between 3/4 to full volume
depending on the quality of your source unit. Listen for any audible distor-
tion. If any distortion is audible, reduce the volume of the source unit until
you have an undistorted output. Leave the volume control at this position
during your system tuning.
While listening to your chosen dynamic music, turn up the level control corre-
sponding to the midrange output until you hear slight distortion and turn the
level control back slightly for an undistorted output. Depending on your sys-
tem, the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels.

Step 6
Step 7
Turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear
slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted
output. Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be
on the same output channels.
Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters. Refer to the
Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instruc-
tions.
Step 8
Step 9
Repeat Steps 5-7 for the rear speakers. If you do not have rear speakers con-
tinue to Step 10.
Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum
front/rear balance.
Step 10 Turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output until you hear
slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted
output.
Step 11 Fine-tune the output level between satellite speakers and the woofers. Refer
to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed
instructions. If using an RGC-1, adjust the level to the output of the woofer
to match the sonic requirements of the system.
Step 12 Enjoy your awesome Orion sound system.
