Power for systems with a single amplifier can be supplied by most auto-
motive electrical systems . 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 .
You must first remove the end caps to mount the amplifier (mount-
ing holes are within) . (1) Remove the screws first, (2) lift the end
cap straight up to detach from unit and then (3) pull away from the
amplifier . once mounted replace end caps by following this process
in reverse .
