INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the Orion Cobalt 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.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Included in this box are all the necessary mounting hardware and cables for your basic installation. Listed below is a detailed list of the components included in this system package. Quantity Description 1 Installation and Operation Manual 1 Orion™ Cobalt woofer 1 Mounting template Mounting screws
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.
