GENERAL
PRE-CAUTIONS
AND
INSTALLATION
TIPS
•
Be
careful
not
to
cut
or
drill
into
gas
tanks,
fuel
lines,
brake
lines
or
hydraulic
lines,
vacuum
lines
or
electrical
wiring
when
working
on
your
vehicle.
•
Disconnect
the
vehicle's
ground
wire
at
the
battery
before
mak¬
ing
or
breaking
connections
to
the
audio
system's
power
supply
terminals.
•
Do
not
use
the
Concept
97
1
unmounted.
Failing
to
securely
mount
the
amplifier
can
result
in
damage
or
injury,
particularly
in
the
event
of
an
accident.
•
Never
mount
a
Concept
97
1
where
it
might
get
wet
or
be
exposed
to
moisture.
•
Mount
the
Concept
97
1
amplifier
so
the
wire
connections
will
not
be
pulled.
•
Route
the
wires
where
they
will
not
be
scraped,
pinched
or
damaged
in
any
fashion.
•
The
+12V
power
supply
wire
must
be
fused
within
18“
of
the
battery
terminal.
Use
the
recommended
fuse
size
or
circuit
breaker
listed
in
the
POWER
CONNECTIONS
section
of
this
man¬
ual.
•
If
you
need
to
replace
the
fuse
plugged
into
the
side
of
the
Concept
97
1
amplifier,
replace
the
fuse
with
the
same
size
and
type
fuses
that
came
with
the
amplifier.
•
If
you
are
not
sure
as
to
the
correct
value,
refer
to
the
POWER
CONNECTIONS
section
of
this
manual
for
proper
fuse
size.
Using
a
higher
current
fuse
may
result
in
damage
to
the
Concept
97
1
amplifier
which
is
not
covered
under
warranty.
•
NOTE:
Make
sure
all
the
equipment
in
the
system
is
turned
off
when
making
or
breaking
connections
to
the
Concept
97
1
input
RCAs
or
speakers
terminals.
Turn
on
the
system
and
slow¬
ly
turn
up
the
volume
control
only
after
double
checking
all
wire
connections.
•
Power
for
systems
with
a
single
Concept
97
1
amplifier
can
be
accomplished
by
most
automotive
electrical
systems.
Systems
with
multiple
amplifiers
may
require
a
higher
capacity
battery/s,
alternator
or
the
use
of
a
storage
capacitor.
We
strongly
recom¬
mend
the
use
of
transient
storage
capacitors
MBR70
and
an
extra
battery
in
larger
stereo
systems.
•
Concept
97
1
amplifiers
generates
a
certain
amount
of
heat
as
part
of
its
normal
operation.
Be
sure
the
area
around
the
cool¬
ing
fins
is
unobstructed
to
aliow
adequate
air
circulation.
STEP
BY
STEP
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
step
1
Determine
the
location
for
the
amplifier.
Refer
to
the
MOUNTING
LOCATIONS
section
in
this
manual
for
detailed
information.
Step
2
Decide
on
the
system
configuration
for
your
amplifier.
For
system
suggestions,
refer
to
the
SYSTEM
PLANNING
section
of
this
manual.
Step
3
Run
all
the
wires
from
the
amplifier
location
to
the
speak¬
ers,
source
unit
and
battery.
Do
not
connect
the
battery
at
this
time.
Be
sure
to
run
audio,
power
and
speaker
wires
away
from
factory
electrical
wires
and
system,
as
they
pose
a
great
potential
for
induced
system
noise.
Step
4
Pre-drill
amplifier
mounting
holes.
Be
sure
to
"Think
before
you
drill".
Gas
tanks,
fuel
lines,
and
other
obstruc¬
tions
have
a
way
of
hiding
themselves.
For
best
results
use
a
marking
pen
to
mark
the
mounting
holes
and
pre-drill
these
holes
with
a
standard
1/8"
drill
bit.
Step
5
Mount
the
amplifier.
Make
sure
the
amplifier
is
mounted
on
a
flat
surface.
If
this
is
not
possible.
Do
not
over
tighten
the
screws
such
that
the
chassis
of
the
amplifier
is
twisted
or
bent.
Step
6
Turn
the
vehicle's
key
switch
to
the
off
position.
Step
7
Disconnect
the
vehicle's
battery
ground
terminal.
Step
8
Connect
the
RCA
and
speaker
wires
to
the
amplifier.
Check
the
quality
of
your
speakers
and
signal
connections.
This
will
determine
the
ultimate
performance
of
your
ORION
amplifier.
Refer
to
the
INSTALLATION
QUICK
REFERENCE
section
of
this
manual
for
correct
wiring
instructions.
Step
9
Connect
power
wires
to
the
amplifier.
At
this
time
do
not
connect
the
fuse
at
the
main
battery.
Step
10
Reconnect
the
ground
terminal
to
the
battery.
