nah nothing wrong. it's doing its rated power. just not working in my application with the 2 ohm rise.

Hmmmm something isn't right, keep working with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

haha not much more to work with besides strapping them. but in my application the 2500D's were 1.4 db's louder than the 20.1's, each @ .5 nominal...which kind of sucks for me.

but I havent given up on them yet, but if they dont do any good for me strapped i might have to sell em, finals is comin up and i want my 1.4 db's back.

So you wired it to .5, and your getting 2ohm after rise? Fvck, what do you have to wire it to so you can get a 1ohm after rise? .0123? That's crazy....

Good Luck!

voltage drop from 14.3 to 12.6v

58.2 volts

54 amps

.45 nominal rise to 1.07 ohms

3142.8 watt

jealous? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

so add 1.4 db to the orion... factor in heat shift... your orions did 1600 watts ..

you've got teh powa!

get some real batteries.. or you're faaaaaared //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

how do you get 3142.8 watts @ a 1.07 ohm rise? if they're rated @ 1800 @ 1ohm...

 

[bigbassman Premium Member]

how do you get 3142.8 watts @ a 1.07 ohm rise? if they're rated @ 1800 @ 1ohm...

because of how amplifiers ratings are made...

you're taking that rating at face value.... which is incorrect

1800 watts @ 1 ohm... nominal... not actual....

put a 1 ohm nominal load on it.. and keep the voltage up.. you can expect 1800 watts..

put a 1 ohm actual load on it.... and keep the voltage up.... 1800 watts at 3/4 volume //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

says something about the Orion that so many of these threads of other amplifers tested against it keep poping up

and then they have to go do something retarded like rename it a 5000 watt amp..

2. meaner

3. has a gun / knife / club / razor / c4

and says.. MI FURST!

how is this figured?

by measuring current and voltage via true rms clamp and dmm..

and doing the math

P = IV

P = 54 * 58.2

p = 3142.8

impedence

R = V/I

R = 58.2 / 54

R = 1.07 ohms

well i tested @ .25 strapped..and i'm too ashamed to even post the results...

lets just say it was less than .5 each...

and 1 amp wired to .25 was about the same as the strapped results...

my voltage sucks..dropped to about 10-10.5 on a burp.
