Orion 2500D mods (pics of bad rework?)

oh, I took pics as I was working on it. I cleaned up a little better then is pictured. I would have done a better job if I removed the FETS and cleaned the trace pad. But eh, it'll do for now.

Hooooly crap....wow thats bad. I soldered better when I was 12. lmao. My repairman owns his own brand of amps, so I have NOTHING to worry about. He's very particular about his quality (which is why I never blew an amp he repaired prolly)

Got it all hooked up and it ROCKS. It is amazing how much better this thing hits then my Alphasonik (go figure). Will take pics and post tomorrow. Looks pretty nice with the wires cleaned up a bit. And the amp fits perfect from side to side on my little box.

Other then that, If I cannot find any upgrades for the FETS or coils I may sell this one (and list that it has been worked on) and get a DD Z1 and a pair of fi BTL 10's (although I don't see them listed anymore, whats up with that.
