Orion Car Audio ORION MaxxBass Car Stereo System User Manual


 
The ground wire should be of the same gauge wire as the power wire. As a
rule of thumb, use as short length of wire as possible. Find a location near the
MaxxBass
®
Processor that is metal ( the floor is ideal) and clean an area about
the size of a quarter to bare metal. Drill a pilot hole in the middle of this area.
Terminate the wire with a ring connector and attach it to the bare metal
using a #8 sheet metal screw and washer (not supplied). We suggest crimping
and/or soldering this connection. After the connection is complete, coat the
area with silicone or some similar material to prevent rust from developing.
Finally, the remote IN wire needs to connect to the "Amplifier Remote" lead
of the head unit. This wire supplies a 12 volt signal to the MaxxBass
®
Processor when the main System is activated. The remote OUT wire is to be
connected to the remote input of the source amplifier or to and "optional"
relay to activate multiple amplifiers. Once you have routed the power,
ground, and remote wires through the vehicle, it is time to connect the wires
to the MaxxBass
®
Processor. Be sure that you have not reconnected the
ground cable to the negative post of the battery.
NOTE: Refer to the diagram of the system shown in
MaxxBass
®
Outline and Dimensions for connection points.
Cut off the excess wire and, using the wire strippers, strip the power, ground
and remote cables about 1/8 inch. Locate the power, ground, and remote
IN/OUT wires of the power plug (supplied). We again, suggest crimping and
or soldering each connection separately to insure no damage to the unit or
the audio system. Check that each connection is tight. If the wires are secure,
the plug may be inserted into the MaxxBass
®
Processor.
