INSTALLATION  
The performance of the P-Series Component Loudspeaker is directly proportional  
to the quality of installation. Care taken during the installation process will be  
rewarded with years of satisfying performance. If you are unsure about your  
installation capabilities, please refer to your local Authorized Orion Dealer  
for technical assistance. Orion dealers are trained professionals dedicated to  
extracting the maximum performance out of your Orion system. If you decide to  
install this speaker system yourself, please read the entire installation section  
before starting your installation.  
TOOLS OF THE TRADE  
Listed are the majority of the tools required to perform the installation. Having  
the proper tools will make the installation much easier. It is very difficult when  
you get half way through the installation and discover that you require a  
specific tool to get yourself through a particular part of the installation. Some  
of these tools are necessities. Some make the job much easier.

FINDING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS  
Choosing the correct speaker locations will have the greatest effect on the  
sound quality of the system. There are many different considerations needed  
when choosing the locations that best suit your needs. The locations must be  
large enough for the speakers to fit. Care is needed to ensure that the location  
you have chosen will not affect any of the mechanical or electrical operations  
of the vehicle.  
Determining the best location for the speakers will depend on your cosmetic  
needs and your vehicle's interior. If minimal intrusion in your vehicle is  
desired, factory speaker locations may be the ticket for you. Placing the  
speaker in the factory location can often give very desirable results.  
DOOR MOUNTING  
When checking for possible speaker locations in the doors, check the  
operation of the window and all assemblies. There is also a stabilizer stop bar  
in between the door and the door jamb. This bar prevents the door from  
opening too far. Many shade tree installers overlook this and check for  
clearance only when the door is fully open.

REAR DECK MOUNTING  
In rear deck installations, check the operation of the trunk suspension springs  
or tension bars. These tension bars move in the opening and closing of the  
trunk. You cannot be too cautious during this part of the installation, In addition,  
do not locate the speakers too close to the back of the rear deck. Installing the  
far screws will only be possible with the removal of the rear window.  
INSTALLING THE MIDRANGE  
Step 1: Determine where the speaker will be mounted. Make sure there is a  
flat area large enough for the speaker to fit properly. An uneven  
mounting surface can damage the driver.  
Step 2: Check to make sure the space you have chosen for the speaker will  
not interfere with the operation of the vehicle.  
Step 3: Using the supplied template guide, mark the hole with a pen.  
Step 4: Cut the hole for the speaker. When using correctly sized factory  
locations, this step can be passed. A hole can be cut either with a  
pair of metal tin snips, an air or jig saw, or with a hole saw  
corresponding to the size of the midrange listed below.  
• 4-11/16” Hole Saw (5” woofer installation)  
• 5-5/8” Hole Saw (6” woofer installation)  
WARNING: Window mechanisms and electrical wires have a nasty  
habit of hiding where you least expect. CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!  
Step 5: Run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure to keep wires away  
from sharp metal or other edges. When passing through metal, use  
a protective grommet.  
Step 6: Using the plastic grille ring as a template, mark the mounting holes  
with a pen.

Step 7: Pre-drill mounting holes using a / " drill bit.

Step 8: Pull the wire through the speaker opening and connect to the  
speaker. Be sure to observe proper midrange polarity during this  
process.

Step 9: Mount the speaker- The speaker is placed  
in the grille ring from the front. Place the  
speaker and the grille ring in the installa-  
tion hole. Align the mounting screw holes  
and drive in the four mounting screws. Push  
the perforated metal grille back into the  
grille ring.  
INSTALLING THE TWEETER  
SURFACE MOUNTING  
Step 1: Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires  
from the crossover to the tweeter location.  
Step 2: Place the surface mount housing against the panel and mark the  
two holes at the rear of the housing.  
Step 3: Drill the smaller center hole using a 1/8" drill bit. This is the  
mounting screw hole.  
Step 4: Drill the larger off-center hole using a 3/8" drill bit, insert a  
grommet and route the speaker wire from the crossover through  
the grommet.  
Step 5: After removing the surface mount tweeter assembly trim ring, route  
the tweeter wires through the larger hole in the housing and  
connect to the speaker wires from the crossover. (See Figure 4.)  
Step 6: Insert the excess speaker wire into the hole and position the housing  
so the housing will not pinch the wires after final mounting.  
Step 7: Attach the housing using the supplied screws of the correct length  
for a solid mount.  
Step 8: Insert the tweeter into the housing and attach the trim ring.

FLUSH MOUNTING INTO REMOVED PANELS (diagram A)  
Step 1:. Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from  
the crossover to the tweeter location.  
Step 2: Mark the center point of the tweeter location.  
Step 3: If using a hole saw, first drill a pilot hole, then cut out the hole using  
a standard 2-1/8" hole saw.  
Step 4: If not using a hole saw, use either the cardboard packaging for the  
tweeters or the surface mount trim ring as a template to mark the  
proper size hole. Cut out the hole.  
Step 5: With the tweeter assembled, route the wires through the hole and  
the pressure ring and slip the pressure ring over the tweeter  
assembly.  
Step 6: Align the tweeter so the logo faces the desired direction then  
push the pressure ring on to the rear of the tweeter assembly until  
the tweeter is snugly mounted to the panel.  
Step 7: Connect the speaker wires observing the correct polarity and  
re-assemble the panel.

size hole. Cut out the hole.  
Step 5: Remove the tweeter from the flush mount housing and insert the proper  
length machine bolt through the center hole of the housing and connect  
to the spring steel X-bracket. (See Figure 3.)  
Step 6: Connect the speaker wires observing the correct polarity.  
Step 7: Press the X-bracket portion of the assembly through the hole until its legs  
spring open.  
Step 8: Screw the bolt in until the tweeter housing is firmly mounted to the  
panel. (Make sure the arrow at the rear of the tweeter housing is pointing  
in the desired direction.)  
Step 9: Insert the tweeter into the housing and attach trim ring.

INSTALLING THE CROSSOVER  
Step 1: Find a location for the crossover away from any factory or after  
market electrical wires. It is recommended to mount the passive  
crossover close to the amplifier. In the event you decide to upgrade and bi-  
amplify the system, mounting the passive crossover close to the amplifier  
would simplify the installation upgrade.  
Step 2: Remove top cover of crossover housing. Don’t lose it.  
Step 3: Mark with a marking pen the two mounting holes.  
Step 4: Remove crossover and pre-drill mounting holes using a 1/8” drill bit.  
WARNING: Gas tanks, fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wires have a nasty  
habit of hiding where you least expect. CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!  
Step 5: Mount the crossover using the supplied #8 screws.  
Step 6: Connect the wires. Make sure the speaker wires for the midrange  
go to the woofer output and the tweeter to the tweeter output. Be sure to  
observe the correct polarity. Changing the polarity of the tweeter may be  
necessary for optimum sound quality.  
Step 7: Re-install the crossover cover.
