Summary:
Wow, what else can I say! This is the T-Rex of Amps. I have 3-12" JL W6's running off of this demonic beast, and they can barley take its sonic furry! I have not been in any comps, but I'm sure I'm hitting well over 140db! The first time I played it to my cousin, he jumped out of car holding his hands over his ears after only 5 seconds! This amp is for the one who craves the loudest and cleanest bass in the history of the planet.

Strengths:
Plays loud and clean all day and night. Better than any amp I have ever used. You can be heard from about 5 blocks or more easily.

Weaknesses:
Sonic and performance wise, none. It costs a high amount, so you better have some dough ready. Requires a lot of extra power supplies (I have an extra battery and 2, 1 farad caps for it)But you get what you pay for it so it is worth it!

Summary:
a have bought 2 of these a year ago and am running 4 hcca 15s each amp bridged @ 1 ohm in a band pass box ported at 30hz in my chevy pickup you talk about put the ear plugs in i have been designing pro systems for a few years now and have found that these amps have been the most resiliant amps that i have had so far they have hit 172 in comp in combination with the subs and boxes for descent true rms power use a 2 farad cap each and make a amp box w/cooling fans to keep the air moving that is one problem that everyone has you know the mount it under the seat syndrone you know where there is no air movement you can pull a max of 2100 watts out of each @ 12.2 volts and more @ 14.4 volts but be prepared for a large electrical system draw

Strengths:
very under rated power thank you orion have lasted longer than any other amp i have used and abused stable @ 1/2 ohm load inteli Q is awesome for tuning one of few amps you dont need an external crosover for it is that good

Weaknesses:
connectors could be changed too a different style if not careful the oscilations from the subs can make them work free and other than that nothing awesome amps high praise too orion for an awsome line go away ppi oh by the way orion cannot warrantee these amps anymore because they were bought out and ppi thanks they need to change their line a little i say nay old school was the best that is why orion got their name
