INSTALLATION
The performance of these Cobalt 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.
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
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. If minimal intrusion in your vehicle is desired, factory
speaker locations may be the ticket for you. These woofers are too large to fit most
factory locations and typically need enclosures to perform correctly.
