very nice lookin amp, the chrome casing just totally sets it off.

but i have one question for you guys running orion amps. do you think it would be a good idea for me to run my sub out at .67 ohms? i have 3 4ohm dvc subs. would i be better off to take one sub out and run the amp at 1 ohm?

help me out guys, dont feel like fryin my amp.

That amp is only rated for 2 ohm operation on the sub channel, your best bet is to run it with the coils in series and then parallell the woofers to get a 2.67 ohm load.

#1 the amp is not chrome, its polished aluminum. i wanna get that straight before we attract ma audio fans in here. [Smile]
#2 2 ohm operation, then stick to it.you can parrallel all the dvc coils to 3 2 ohm loads, then go parallel seris parralel to get your 2 ohm load.
