Orion HCCA250R - need help?

[khamul]

Could you please answer all of the following questions?
There are several of us who would like to know the answers.
Thanks,



2 scenarios:

1st:

Can I Run the hcca250r at a .667 bridged load (3-2 ohms paralleled) at "16 VOLTS" for a 45 second/30 second SPL run without destroying the amp?

If so,
What wattage would I get from the amp?
What kind of amperage draw would the amp have?
What size fuses should I run?

2nd scenario:

Can I Run the hcca250r at a .667 bridged load (3-2 ohms paralleled) at "14 VOLTS" for a 45 second/30 second SPL run without destroying the amp?

If so,
What wattage would I get from the amp?
What kind of amperage draw would the amp have?
What size fuses should I run?


Additional for both scenarios if one works:

What kind of problems might the amp encounter and how much (figuring running the amp this way would void the warranty)in general would repairs cost.

IF any of this will work we will be running a high amprage switch to turn off one of the speakers (giving us a 1 ohm load) for normal play.

Both are possible, BUT you will have a couple of problems to deal with. At 16volts there is not an atc fuse big enought to hold up (draws over 80amps) so you would have ot make jumper or your own fuses able to handle 90-100amps. I have not tried it but I am asoming the same will be true at 14 volts. The other thing is if you do damge the amp Orion may not cover it. Be careful. You could expect to see around 1600+ watts out of that amp at 16volts. Orion has flat rate repair on amps would run ya in the area of 100 bucks. Hope that helps
