RCA in, 5 pin DIN cable to input of ONE of the pairs... That's all there is to it. It gets it's power from the power supply of the amp, over the DIN cable. If you want to bridge all 4 channels to 2 channels, you need two of those 400 BDG's. That part allows bridging of one pair only. Also it will only work with the early generations of Orion amps - look for the DIN input on the end of the amp, otherwise the newer ones without the DIN connection are already bridged internally...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Actually, it is only needed for first generation amps, I believe only the amps with the first Orion logo on a sticker needed them, the DIN plug continued through the second and third gen amps. If it has the machined in logo it likely does not need the bridging module(s).
