Orion XTR 9002

100 watts from a head does not sound realistic.to me anyways.

 

some high end head units can push 25 watts rms...clean power anyways

Panasonic has some kind of t-amp technology they incorporate into their head units and have more power than some 4 channel amps

 

As an alternitive to getting a second amp for your highs....use your new amp to run it ALL....


Subs run mono on the amp, and the highs run in stereo on the amp....using all passive x-overs....Let me tell ya, you have a serious amp. It can EASILY run your entire system and get loud and sound great doing it.

just some food for thought.

 

Hey electro, what kind of car did you say this was going in?????

 

yeah viking has a good idea there.i was thinking of getting a PG passive xover for my moms ride.has stereo inputs and 5 outs.front L,R,CENTER AND MONO REAR FILL AND MONO SUB OUT.

would use the M50 i took out of the truck.

in one of my old mags i read that a 225 HCCA had 25 speakers hooked to it. thats right 25.

 

well i just placed a bid for the xover just to have it.

i like to collect things..:mellow:

i would be useing the factory head.whats the model number for that PAC adaptor to run rca's to the amp.?
also who has a good deal on it?

 

Lol i like to collect things too....like subs and speakers and stuff...just to have it in case someone wants it

I really wanna try a tri-mode setup.

 

the xover is a 5 way.should really wake up the factory speakers.

 

ever thought about checking out Mach-5 audio. They are a canadian based subwoofer maker.

here is a vid of a 40htz sweep with the MAW-12 . its a 65 dollar sub that has some very good reviews. Takes 350 watts rms so just run like a bunch of em lol.

vid is using just a home reciever in a room - so like maybe 50 watts going to it? crossed over at 60 htz

 

or you could run MAW-15's they are 500 watt rms each and run a whole 80 bucks

 

I really dont have a link to put up to explain this, other than...this http://www.caraudiotalk.com/audio-forum/showthread.php?t=3758


That will give you the basics...and I among others can help guide you from there. Once you get the amp, a few terminal strips, some caps, coils and resistors, and maybe a few light bulbs, and you will be on your way to a system that can do some exceptional SQ and still crank.

 

The big problem with tri mode is that some folks dont understand how to effectively use passive x-overs, this leads to impedances that are well below the amps limits.


I currently have my Orion 275 SX running one 12 inch sub, and a set of components in the front and a set of coaxes in the rear. Has worked and sounded awesome for months now.

Its all in how ya do it. It aint magic and it aint terribly hard.

 

only bad thing about Mach 5 Audio is the shipping would like like 80 bucks.

 

not for him though azn he is in canada so shipping would be minimal.. everyone here in the states complains about it though cause they have to ship through customs and so forth to get to us.

The site is http://www.mach5audio.com/index.html the site is pretty basic but they really dont make a whole lot of money from what i hear as they claim to be a not for profit? Dunno..
