[QUOTE="mysilver02alty, post: 2701189, member: 572943"] The amp is rated @ 1200 watts @ 1 ohm but will give you 1400 watts from what i have heard and your sub is a dual 2 ohm sub, so 1400 is what the amp will give it. You have hooked this amp up @ 1 ohm before right? You know this amp is going to be a major drain on your electrical right? This is what you have right? [URL="http://www.cardomain.com/item/CRYCMPX215"]http://www.cardomain.com/item/CRYCMPX215[/URL] If it was me, i would do one of 2 things. Sell or dont use either of those amps on the sub. If you want to keep it Orion, get the Orion 250hcca, it should power that sub perfectly @ 1 ohm. You can pick a used one up in good condition for like 300 on ebay. Then you can sell those 2 amps you have for around 800.00, maybe more. Or, i would get 2 dual 4 ohm subs that can handle 700 or so watts each, and put the Orion 275 on it. Then you could sell the 2250 & the sub. But no, i wouldnt use either one of those amps on that sub. Just wasting power in my opinion. If you are going to run the 275 and deal with the electrical issues, may as well get the most out of that amp and run 2 of those crystal subs or a better sub. Otherwise, get an Orion 250hcca and you probably wont even need the HO Alternator, just a capacitor and the big 3 upgrade. [/QUOTE]
