[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8684285, member: 650438"] you should have just kept the orion and then set the gains to where you maintain a solid 12 ish volts at heaviest bass drops. You can even run a 100k rms amp on your system just fine if you set it to where you only drop to 12 volts, you arent going to get the full power out of the amp until you upgrade your electrical but the amp will run cooler and more efficient not even being slightly stressed vs a weaker amp thats being redlined. What do you think will last longer? what is harder on the amp internals being at 60% capacity or 90%+? the maxed out one will build up heat faster and the efficiency will tank even more drawing even more current which is even worse on your electrical system not to mention to get full power you need to literally soft clip (not normal clipping its the point in the video where the dyno sees 2200 ish rms) and at that point the efficiency tanks even more, parts are more stressed etc.. you sorta see a pattern?
