INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your purchase of the Orion HCCA Component Tweeter system. These speakers represent a combination of incredible performance and value. The HCCA feature silk dome tweeters with sophisticated crossover and protection circuits. Capable of maintaining their balance and clarity at exceptionally high output levels, they are the perfect complement to the HCCA subwoofers and component loudspeakers. The crossovers feature tweeter level adjustment. These high-performance tweeters are built with 4 ohm voice coils, to get the most out of your amplifier.

We at Orion strive to give you all the latest up to date information about this product. What we can’t give you in this manual is personal installation or technical experience. If you have questions concerning the use or application of this product, please refer to the nearest Authorized Orion Dealer for assistance or call the Orion technical support hot-line 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.

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

• Wire Strippers • Phillips Screwdriver

• 1/8" Drill Bit • Volt/Ohm Meter (Optional)

• 3/8" Drill Bit • Needle Nose Pliers

• Assorted Tin Snips • Wire Crimpers

• Hole Saw Arbor (for flush mount option)

• 2" or 2-1/8" Hole Saw (for flush mount tweeter installation.)

INSTALLATION

The performance of the HCCA Component tweeters is directly proportional to the quality of installation. Care taken during the installation process will be rewarded with years of satisfying performance. If you are unsure about your installation capabilities, please refer to your local Authorized Orion Dealer for technical 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 installation section before starting your installation.

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. Placing the speaker in the factory location can often give very desirable results.

DOOR MOUNTING

When checking for possible tweeter 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.

REAR DECK MOUNTING

In rear deck installations, check the operation of the trunk suspension springs or tension bars. These tension bars move in the opening and closing of the trunk. You cannot be too cautious during this part of the installation, In addition, do not locate the tweeters too close to the back of the rear deck. Installing the far screws will only be possible with the removal of the rear window.

INSTALLING THE TWEETERS

SURFACE MOUNTING

Step 1: Determine the tweeter mounting location, then route the wires from the

crossover to the tweeter location.

Step 2: Place the provided template or tweeter cup against the panel and mark the

two holes at the rear of the housing.

Step 3: Drill the smaller holes using a 1/8" drill bit. These are the mounting screw

holes.

WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires BEFORE you drill.

Step 4: Drill the larger off-center hole using a 3/8" drill bit, insert a grommet

and route the speaker wire from the crossover through the grommet.

Step 5: After removing the surface mount tweeter assembly trim ring, route the

tweeter wires through the larger hole in the housing and connect to the speaker wires from the crossover.

Step 6: Insert the excess speaker wire into the hole and position the housing so the

housing will not pinch the wires after final mounting.

Step 7: Attach the housing using the supplied screws of the correct length for a solid

mount.

Step 8: Insert the tweeter into the housing and attach the surface mount trim ring.

FULL FLUSH MOUNTING

Step 1: Determine where the tweeter will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat

area large enough for the tweeter and no obstructions behind the area. Step 2: Using supplied template mark with a pen the hole needed for the tweeter. Step 3: Be sure the hole is large enough for the tweeter housing. Step 4: Cut the hole for the tweeter. When using factory locations, this step can be

skipped. A hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips or a 2" hole

saw for soft materials or 2-1/8" hole saw for hard materials.

WARNING: Check for clearance of window mechanisms and electrical wires BEFORE you drill.

Step 5: Install tweeter in flush mount housing. Step 6: Connect the speaker wires observing the correct polarity. Step 7: Install tweeter and housing in the hole cut for mounting, so that the trim

ring is flat with the front of the surface. Step 8: Use the supplied pressure ring to secure the housing to the surface.

INSTALLING THE CROSSOVER

There is a tweeter level jumper for adjusting the tweeter. Cutting this jumper will change the output gain of the tweeter. Where the adjustment should be depends on the location of the tweeter and your preference. Adjustments can be made from 0dB to -3dB by cutting the "level jumper". Tweeter phase can be changed by reversing the polarity of the amplifier output wire connections to the crossover. If the tweeter is within 6" of the woofer center the tweeter should be in phase with the woofer. If the tweeter is further than 6" from the center of the woofer, both in phase and out of phase should be tried to see which is best.

Use wire tie or screws to secure crossover housing in place.
