Orion amp loading question

 

Unregistered guest
i been on the other orion thread and i have my 225 hcca(the one with just the gain knobs)now but i want to load it down to .5 ohms but i dont want to pay a billion dollars for speakers so what will be the best number and/or kinds of speakers i can put on it to get that amp that low for probably under 300 350

why do you want to run it at 1/2 ohm?

run 4 dual 2ohm IDQ 12's @ 1ohm mono in Series / Parallel and I can almost guarentee you over 146. that wouold run like 250 per sub man that would be sweet.

you could do that but I bet 2 of these will be louder http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18804%26item%3D5751501899 %26 or 4 of these will be very nice http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18803%26item%3D5751216642 %26 I would go both of those over those Orion's.
