[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2510982, member: 550915"] A 2100 will easily command $550 if it's in good shape and 6 years old is the minimum. Mine is the final version, and it's going on 11yrs old. Unless you just have a nostalgia thing going, the old Orion HCCA amps really don't have a place in a modern system, especially if you are shopping for amps to buy. For the money you can get a lot more power that will not **** your car's charging system dry. Remember that they were Class A/B amps and were real current hogs. Sundown SAZ-1500d? As far as needing an EQ, work with the EQ in the HU, it's not bad at all and you already have it. Set the time alignment first, that can make a huge difference and eliminate cancellation nodes for one listening position. This will allow the EQ to achieve an effect at any frequency. If you are doing serious set and leave tuning and have exhausted the capability of the HU EQ, then and only then would I bother with a larger trunk mount unit. Whoever it was that said that Q factor should always be fixed has a lot to learn. [/QUOTE]
