INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the Orion XTR Subwoofers. These woofers represent

a combination of incredible performance and value. We at Orion strive to give you

the latest up to date information about this product. What we can’t give you with

the manual is personal installation or technical experience. If you have questions

concerning the use or application of this product please refer to the nearest Orion

dealer for assistance, visit www.orioncaraudio.com, or call the technical support

hotline at 1-800-876-0800. As we are always finding new ways to improve our product,

the features and specifications are subject to change without notice.

PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™

Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent

hearing loss. High powered automotive sound systems can generate sound pressure

levels in excess of 130dB. When playing your system at high levels, please use hearing

protection and prevent long term exposure.

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.

• Marking Pen • Electric Drill and assorted Bits

• Phillips Screwdriver • Wire Strippers

• Allen Wrenches • Volt/Ohm Meter (Optional)

• Table Saw • Jig Saw

• Wire Cutters • Wire Crimpers

INSTALLATION

The performance of these XTR subwoofers is directly proportional to the quality of

the installation. Care taken with the installation process will be rewarded by years

of satisfying performance. If you are unsure of your installation abilities, please

refer to your local authorized ORION dealer for 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

section on sealed and vented enclosures before starting the installation.

FINDING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS

Choosing the correct speaker locations will have the greatest effect on the sound

quality of the system. Different considerations are 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. Usually the woofers are installed in the trunk, rear seat, or

rear of the vehicle..
