Tri-mode
For Tri-mode wiring the high frequency speakers should be run in stereo and use a passive in line
crossover (capacitor) with each to remove the low frequency . The mono low frequency speaker
would be connected in the bridge mode to the two stereo channels with a in line passive cross-
over (inductor) to remove the high frequencies . The high frequency speakers should be no less
than 2 ohms and the low frequency (bridged) speaker should be no less than 4 ohms .
Bridging
For bridging into a single speaker load, the Orion Cobalt CO600 .4 has the ability to bridge the
front or rear channels together . The impedance of the speaker must not be less than 4
Ω
AMPLIFIEr INSTALLATION
Choosing Mounting Locations
The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues . Due to the low profile
size of the Orion Cobalt 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 mount-
