Old school Orion amp specs needed

[ekdux92]

Hi everyone, I recently acquired an old school amp and I have searched and searched online with little luck. It's an Orion Cobalt CS250.1T. It has 2 fuse inputs and has one 40A fuse in it with the other input empty. Basically, my questions are, does anybody here know the power rating of this amp and also the correct fuses to be using? I can put another 40A in but I want to make sure that is what's suppose to be in it. If anyone can help or can link me to the manual online I would greatly appreciate it!

It's a blue, small footprint, Korean made amp that I would love to use. Thanks in advance!

Wow, I was thinking it would put out more than that. You wouldn't happen to have a link to the manual would you? I still need to know what size fuses to put in it

No but it is still underrated a little

Sorry, OP, but Orion had pretty well jumped the shark by the time this series came out. Should be a decent 2 channel but I doubt you'll need 80A of fusing on it.

Fuses are plenty cheap, get one of those variety -packs and start with 10A, if you open them go up to 15, then go to 20 if you open them to quickly. If you never open a fuse when playing hard it's incredibly unlikely that the fuses will ever protect the amp in the event of a problem.

Yeah I was thinking 80a would be overkill. I appreciate the help guys
