I'll guess 2 x 250W @ 4 ohms and bridgeable much higher

I found this info for you at the bottom of this link:
http://www.spiritone.com/~bkruse/orionamps.htm 2250 XTR 2 Ch Power 250 x 2 @ 4 ohm 500 x 2 @ 2 ohm 1000 x 1 @ 4 ohm Dual module slot supplied with (1) SLF-1 crossover 23" x 8" x 3.125" |
Thats cool. I looked at orion site before and couldnt find any info. Audio told me to call and I just figured someone here would know. Thanks again. Greg

Bridge it and let it rip.

As AUDIO has mentioned before....be careful bridging the amps in a marine environment. Bridging an amp creates a severe load which also creates heat. Heat and electronics are not a good mix....especially while trying to use it in the heat of the summer. Definitely buy an amp big enough where you don't have to run it at less than 2 ohms minimum. I bought an MTX digital series sub amp and couldn't be happier. Hook it up with quality wires (the correct size) and use a capacitor if you can as that will create more constant power for your amp when the bass hits and will also help your amp operate at maximum efficiency!!!!

That is a competition car amp. I would suggest that amp in a car with at least a 140 amp alternator, multiple batteries, and isolators. For a boat, I can offer you a great deal on an efficient Rockford Fosgate that will work much better in a boat and last.

Yes thats right about the heat, I have about 2200 watts in my boat but I run my gen. to keep the batt's charged ( it will kill them in about 1 cd) and have the A/C on plus they have a fan on them. I cooked them once before the fan.

Wow you guys have got some serious equiptment going on there!! I got a good buy on this and 2 other orion amps (Ill post a picture) and just wanted to start there. I have 2 batteries and the stock alt. prob an 80 amp. That big amp has these huge holes to feed wires the size of battery cables into the housing to power it. I am aware that I'm definatly out of my league with this install. Andy when you sy effiecentwhat do you mean ? Is this thing a welder or what?Greg
