orion 2500d repair

[Blazin_Jason 10+ year member]

Picked up the amp from TheNoodPoopler who got it from King. It was supposed to power up but have no output. When I got it, it did nothing. So I cracked it open and did the best I could. I changed:

1 voltage reg

13 outputs

1 diode

about 10 resistors

and a couple caps

So far it seems to be working. I just need to hook it up to a sub.

newb question: are the 2500d and the 5000d same amp?

I'll let someone else answer that. There are differences posted somewhere on here. Don't know off the top of my head. This is my first orion product.

Don't have any available right now. Sold the R's last week, and the w6v2's are chilling in the closet. Plan on running 2 premier 3004's eventually. Actually, just remembered there is an infinty reference here, but no box. I did test an old pioneer 6x9 on it though. Needless to say that speaker is now in the trash (where is should have been before).

Also with it putting out 56.9 volts there, that is like 3200 watts at 1 ohm I think. Granted no load, but thats off that dead battery at 12 volts. Panasonic deck with 2V pre-outs, 50Hz 0db test tone, head unit at 28/40 and bass an -8 out of -10 on deck. Been a long couple days, maybe I'm wrong.

I tested the amp with an infinity reference 12 free air. The amp gets slightly warm with the 4 ohm load during testing. Amp seems to work fine. How hot will the amp be at 1 ohm?

it's hard to tell from the pics but that doens't look like 4awg wire at all . looks more like 8... and if i'm right u'll proably keep blowing things till u give the amp the current it needs.

Yeah that was 8 guage wire but never used a sub on it. When I tested the sub I was using 4 guage.
