These were the last of the top quality HiFonics amplifiers created by Steve Mantz at ZED Audio. They are incredibly overbuilt! This amplifier was used in conjunction with a Gen X Saturn back sometime ago. It has not been used in at least 15 years or so. It was professionally unistalled from...

As the title states a brand new in the box never used Alpine CDE-HD149BT up for grabs. I purchased it years ago for a ranch truck install project that never happened so it remained unused. I would eBay it but with 10% fees and all the nutcases I would prefer to not to. Sorry I did not...

The Orion GS, GSX did not have silk screening for the inputs. They expected you to know what you were doing.

Looking for a cash deal since I am getting a different car and I am forgoing putting the system in it.

The Orion 250 HCCA is only stable to 1ohm per channel Stereo and only 2 ohms in mono. You can run it to 1 ohm mono but you better have fans to cool it and gobs of amperage and voltage to feed it. You won't see 1KW out of it that is certain.

I never stated that the resistors were all that were wrong with it, I am just passing on the obvious issues as a starting point so simmer down spoon head. I have 30 years experience in car audio so I know a thing or two. I am not worried about cost to repair it, I just want it working again...

I have an Orion XTR-2150 that powers up and plays but us distorted. A quick inspection of the PCB and I spotted a couple (2) burnt diodes. Really want to get it back in action having to use an XTR-250 in it's place for now. Need pics? Let me know if it's something you can fix. Thanks

Another vote for that 2nd generation Orion 250 HCCA, as long as you can keep supplying voltage and current it will keep producing more and more power due to the unregulated power supply. They are solidly built quality amps! I was running an XTR-2150 that was in a rollover and smashed on the...

Bump for one of the best amps ever made for car use. Here is a photo. It is much cleaner this is when it came out of my car.

I agree with some of what you said but the increased voltage is meaningless without the necessary amperage to back it up. I know all about Orion having owned them since they first started out and having competed IASCA from '94 - '97 with the XTR Xtreme's. I know what they can do and what they...

The 2nd Generation Orion 250 HCCA was only rated to 2 ohm stable mono generating 400W. 2000W where did you come up with that? Is that the Sony Explod method of determining power output? They can be run 1 ohm mono @ 800W but you better fan cool it because it will get hot enough to cook eggs...

Selling an Orion XTR-200 Red/Black marbilized Dual Mono Block super ultra quality amplifier. .0005% THD, 1000 damping factor, 115db S/N Ratio. Very conservatively rated at 100W X 2 @ 4 ohms. 400W mono bridged at 4 ohms. These sold for $1350 new in the mid-90's I was using two of these and a...

Champagne taste on a beer budget. Bottom line is a true high quality amp is not going to come cheaply.
