Get the Orion...it'll give the power that the SLC's need and they are solid amps

x2 on the mbq

Nice amp but im afraid that it might be too much power for my slc's. Plus its more expensive.

 

[Dunerider5 10+ year member]

If its 200x2, would I be safe enough just keeping the gains down? Ive read not to give the slc's much more than rated power.

it will be fine, get the mbq, nicer. cleaner, and worth it.

Get more power than you need, always.

This way you can set the volume on the HU pretty low and the gain on the amp fairly low, this will guarantee that your speakers will see their rated power with the lowest distortion possible.

My $.02.

Hahaha... I don't normally take crap from her, but im not even making my half of the bills, so its kind of going to be her money im spending... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
