"Im convinced my little HCCA Orion 250 is doing close to 1kw @ 1ohm.
I just dont like how it keeps freegin getting hot on me. If I have to buy a different amplifier then I will LOL.. I just dont want to do that. I love bragging about my little 2x50W cheater amp hitting harder than most peeps.
Just this Easter sunday. My cousin has 4 10" visonik sub pairs.. he bought them at pep boys.. their a little kit, come with an amplifier and 2 subs + wireing kit. Well he put all 4 of them in his taurus, and we just compared one anothers using that cheap little DB meter from Wal-Mart lol.
My pair of 10" Orion P series hit 6Db's louder and hit the meters threshold in my VAN !!! lol
The meter only goes to 130Db's and nothing passed that. You would be amazed at how many peoples systems dont hit harder than just 125DB's lol.
Anyhow I had him in denial lol.. Plus he doesnt know jack about ohm law to know that even though it says HCCA 250 .. It's not a 250W amplifier.
Anyhow, I figured I could maybe give those pair of MJ-18's and not over heat my amplifier @ 1 ohm load. Put it at a 2 ohm load, and I think I could get away with gain all the way up. Subs would be fine, and slightly underpowered untill I get a higher powered amplifier.
