Jessica Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 can i ask what the point of overlap is on the dyno? i understand in a daily where you may want to use a remote gain to adjust for quieter tracks, ut for a straight dyno test where you just run up to max clean input i dont get he point.

Andrew Showers Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Power rating or not, the amps hold up to abuse to my knowledge. This Orion craze, well let's see where it's at in a year and what product failures are presented. Some think having a tech on site to repair amps at a show is dedication. I see it as a complete lack of quality. Build an amp that doesn't blow up when people need it the most and you won't need a guy there to repair amps... Just my $.02.

Crazy 8s Drums Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 They are all Korean amps made with the same quality of components and QA. There is no reason why Orion wouldn't hold up as well as any of the others. Orion XTR amplifiers Skar subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Showers Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just because it's Korean doesn't mean anything. The varying components used from good to shit would surprise you. Some op for high end parts, and assembly and testing and you pay for it. Some offer big power for cheap price. I can promise you they are not building amps to lose money so where is the savings coming from? Time will be the judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterbasser Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 those orions are full bridge aint they? i dunno same as wolfram basically (i think?) i mean shit id like to run some big power but i cant see myself replacing the amps i have with anything else, if i need more power id add more amps Kenwood excelon ddx795 3 370 amp CES alternators (audio side only) McLaren dome tweeters Crescendo 6.5 ultra neos NVX JAD800.4 4 PA x4 SPL 18's 4 Digital Designs m5's at .7 ohms each 2 K2 80 ah lithiums 3 group 31 agms Ledglow million color (12 piece) 2007 Yukon xl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I mean Orion is a way bigger company than any of the others it was tested against and likely moves way more volume, more volume equals cheaper manufacturing cost per amp, they could then pass those savings along to customers. And lets be honest here, all the company's involved could sell their amps probably at or around the same price point as the orion and still make a decent profit. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Crazy 8s Drums Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Orion was king of the hill when their company was based in Tempe, Arizona. I believe that had something to do with the Arizonans making them. Same with Rockford Fosgate. Same with MTX. The Arizona heat created better soldering environment.
