[. . . ] Warranty LIMITED TWO YEAR CONSUMER WARRANTY: Directed Electronics promises to the original purchaser, to replace this product should it prove to be defective in workmanship or material under normal use, for a period of two years from the date of purchase by the dealer as indicated by the date code marking of the product PROVIDED the product was installed by an authorized Directed dealer. During this two year period, there will be no charge for this replacement PROVIDED the unit is returned to Directed, shipping pre-paid. If the unit is installed by anyone other than an authorized Directed dealer, the warranty period will be 1 year from date of purchase by the dealer as indicated by the date code marking of the product. During this 1 year period, there will be no charge for this replacement PROVIDED the unit is returned to Directed, shipping pre-paid. [. . . ] This is recommended because the current delivery of the factory electrical system was designed only to accommodate electronics supplied by the auto manufacturer. NOTE: Speaker Connections The Orion HCCA-600D amplifier offer two positive and two negative output terminals for ease of connecting the speakers to the amplifier. Since this is a mono amplifier, the speaker connectors are paralleled internally. The amplifier is stable to 1W. MASTER SLAVE © 2006 Directed Electronics--all rights reserved 11 Bridging (strapping) 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. The signal is then routed through RCA Line Out to the RCA Line In on the other (slave) amplifier. The slave amplifier must have the MASTER/SLAVE switch set to the SLAVE position. On the master amplifier make sure the PHASE swtich is set to the 0 position (factory default). On the slave amplifier set the PHASE switch to 180, exactly opposite of the master amp. On the slave amplifier be sure to turn the Intelli-Bass control to 0 (zero). For the speaker connections, connect the positive (+) speaker lead from the speaker to the positive (+) speaker terminal of the master amplifier. On the negative (-) speaker connection, take the negative (-) speaker terminal of the master amplifier and connect it directly to the negative (-) speaker terminal of the (slave) amplifier. The remaining positive (+) speaker terminal of the (slave) amplifier must be connected to the negative (-) speaker lead from the speaker. NOTE: For best results, connect both negative speaker terminals on the master amp to both negative terminals on the slave amp using at least 12 AWG cable.

Due to the low profile 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. 12 © 2006 Directed Electronics--all rights reserved NOTE: The wiring connections to the power, remote and speaker terminals should be accomplished before the amplifier is mounted. Mounting amplifiers upside down is not recommended and may cause premature thermal shutdown. Amplifiers are not designed to endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements. NOTE: WARNING! 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 minimum 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 amplifier with as much clearance as possible. This type of mounting will yield the best cooling due to the convection effect of the amplifier chassis. General Precautions and Installation Tips WARNING! [. . . ] Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions. Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/rear balance. 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. [. . . ]
