good amp

i have two Audiobahn 10''s that it pushes quite nicely but have over heating issues so i customized the amp with a cooling fan and have not have any problems since

great product

Strong amp that can handle two 10's nicely. Will not make your mirrors shake with fear but will get them to budge a bit.

The Little Amp that Could

Installed it in a chevy van with 2 15s, a volvo, and Now in An 06 Solara. Neighbor likes it in her car Painted White. Pushing a Planet audio dvc 4ohm sub In a slim box. Sounds nice. Gets really warm to the touch..

Amazing Amp For The Price

I love the amp. Its features and ease of use makes things alot better. At half turned up, it makes my sub slam alot harder then my old infinity amp. I also like that it has lasted longer and is so small and easy to mount.

Nice amp at a great price.

I got this hooked up to a JL audio W0V2 at 4 ohms. This amp is very clean and works great. The blue lights are cool too. This amp gets a little warm but no cut out or anything. I have tried a lot of brands, Ex. kicker, sony, pioneer, rockford fosgate, kenwood, coustic, but none of them except kicker sounded as good as this amp. Id recommend this amp to anyone powering one sub. Definitely a great buy. I will only buy orion amps now.

Solid little amp.

I have this running the Cobalt 10", and I've never had a heat problem and it pushes it really well. I love the terminals. Only problem I had was with the mount holes, I found it very difficult to get the screws in, but not seeing the screws makes it look really nice. All in all great amp if you're looking to add a little bass to your vehicle.

WOW!

Small, Sleek, and Porewful! I bought a line out converter to turn the high signal into low and ended up hooking directly to the on board high level inputs. What a great versital amp! The remote works awesome and the crossover is right on. super easy to hook up too. 109 shipped.
