ORION C5.2, C6.2 Owners Manual
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the Orion C-Series Component Loudspeaker
system. These speakers offer an incredible value of performance. Titaniumcoated polymer cone midranges use an oversized 3 ohm voice coil for
increased power handling and performance. The computer optimized
crossover perfectly matches the midrange and tweeter for a seamless
response. The passive crossover also offers an optical protection circuit for the
tweeter to protect it from potentially damaging signals. The 1” ceramic dome
tweeter offers a smooth extended frequency response and incorporates flush,
surface and angle mounting hardware for optimal sonic as well as cosmetic
results. The midranges are available in standard 5-1/4” and 6-1/2” sizes to fit
most applications.
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.

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 operation
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.
