Orion Car Audio C693 - Manual (Page 3)

STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION
Step 1: Determine where the speaker will be mounted. Make sure there is a flat area large
enough for the speaker to fit properly. An uneven mounting surface can damage the
driver.
Step 2: Check to make sure the space you have chosen for the speaker will not interfere with
the operation of the vehicle.
Step 3: Using the plastic grille ring as a template, mark the speaker hole with a pen.
Step 4: Cut the hole for the speaker. When using factory locations, this step can be passed. A
hole can be cut either with a pair of metal tin snips or a hole saw corresponding to the
size of the speaker listed below.
• 4 3/4" (120mm) hole saw (C53)
• 5 1/2" (140mm) hole saw (C63)
Step 5: Run the speaker wire to the speakers. Make sure to keep wires away from sharp metal
or other edges. When passing through metal ,use a protective grommet.
Step 6: Using the plastic grille ring as a template, mark the mounting holes with a pen.
Step 7: Pre-drill mounting holes using a 1 /
8
" drill bit.
Step 8: The C-series coaxial speaker is placed in the grille ring from the front. Place the speaker
and the grille ring in the installation hole. Align the mounting screw holes and drive
in the four mounting screws. Push the perforated metal grille back into the grille ring.
Step 9: Pull the wire through the speaker opening and connect to the speaker. Be sure to
match the crossover wires to the speaker correctly, HF to HF and LF to LF of the speaker.
WARNING: Window mechanisms and electrical wires have a nasty habit of hiding
where you least expect. CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!
