Anyone know the specs on this or what it is worth? One of my friends just pulled one out of his garage and we are thinking of fixing it up...

if you mean the concept 97.2 it's a 30+30 band 1/3 octave digital EQ.
I see them go on ebay for between $150-500 depending on condition.
They retailed new for $1700 US

Glass, it may surprise you, but it is a Concept 97.3. I got the installation manual from Orion and it says this for bridged specs:

2Wx1 @4
4wx1 @2
8WX1 @1
16WX1 @0.5
32WX1 @.25
64WX1 @.125
128WX1 @.0625
256WX1 @.03125
512WX1 @.015625
1024WX1 @.0078125

Any clue how to get the resistance down to that level? I am really confused here, never seen an amp like this before. I can email you the specs if you want.

bennettjmorgan@yhaoo.com is my email...

oh, the old concept cheater amp.
the 97.2 was the EQ..
yeah you just wire speakers in aprallel till you hit the load you want.. that's about it.
Orion only produced the amplifier to prove IASCA's power classes were useless. That's about it.

quite a bit if it's in good shape adn you find the right collector.
I rarely see a concept amp on ebay, and they usually go for quite a bit.
do an ebay advanced search and look for completed items only.
search for "orion concept"

No luck finding one under completed searches except for one that looks like it was ended early, and was broken - for at least $255. Mine is in very good condition and it works - can you guess? If it is enough, I am thinking of just selling it...
