I N T R O D U C T I O N
Thank you for your purchase of ORION’s XTREME amplifier. Each ORION amplifier is designed to be the leader in its class offering the most power, advanced features and ease of use. The ORION XTREME amplifiers are designed as the best car audio amplifier money can buy. Listed below are the features of the new ORION XTREME amplifiers.
•XTREME 600.4 – 75 watts per channel, 4-channel amplifier with fully variable low-pass crossovers from 45Hz to 5khz. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 10Hz to 10kHz. The XTREME 600.4 has the INTELLiQ subwoofer optimizing circuitry and dual remote gain capability. The XTREME 600.4 is capable of 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 channel operation.
NOTE: The installation of all ORION XTREME amplifiers will determine the overall performance result. Improper installation will not only limit the performance of your ORION system but also potentially compromise the reliability of this digital processor. To ensure proper sonic results and component reliability, please refer to your Authorized ORION dealer for installation assistance or advice. If you decide to perform the installation yourself, read the entire installation section of this manual before beginning the installation.

SYSTEM PLANNING
The easiest way to maximize the performance for your ORION XTREME amplifier is to properly plan your system. By planning your system, you can avoid situation where the performance of the reliability of your system is compromised. Your Authorized ORION dealer has been trained by ORION Industries on how to maximize your system’s sonic potential. Authorized ORION dealers are a valuable resource in helping you with your system design and installation. If you wish to venture on with your own system design, here are some systems designed by ORION Industries.
System 1 is a simple two-way system. The front channels are bridged mono for a single 4-ohm subwoofer. The rear channels are configured for stereo operation and high-passed for a set of satellite speakers.
∙Lowest recommended impedance is 2Ω per channel
∙Front channels are configured for summed bridged mono operation
∙Front crossover is configured for low-pass operation
∙Lowest recommended impedance is 4 ohms bridged mono for the front channels.
∙Rear channels are configured for stereo operation
∙Rear crossover is configured for high-pass operation
