Orion 1200D wiring

[BIGCHEECH814]

I just got a used Orion 1200d but the manual did not come with it. By this PIC it looks like it has 2 channels by the but i know its a 1 channel amp. I need to know what i have to do to crossover the channels or whatever i have to do to put the wires in series or parallel. Thanks

don't hook it up give it to me lol....... but no it just has 2 connections for + and - so it's easier to hook up more subs. Think of them as Y-slpitters they go to the same place. so just hook up like you would a normal mono amp. And enjoy the amp orions are nice.

If you hook them up individually (like two subs...one to each...or ONE dual voice coil sub...) it will internally parallel the connection. Just keep that in mind

alright so i got my subs wired to 2 ohms each so when i put the wires from each sub into each + and - i should get 1200 Watts? or will it give me 600?

Ok, TWO subs...each wired to 2 ohms...then wired individually to each channel. The amp will internally parallel, and it will see a 1ohm load, providing 1200rms!

ok, i stupidly didnt read that it was parallel, thanks

What subs are u runnin w/ it?

[BIGCHEECH814]

i have the MA100XL's. I know the amp is too powerful for them, so i might sell them soon. The only thing is that my dad made a box without me knowing, cause i was at college, but it is way too big. its like 3.8 ft^3 and the maximum sealed box size for each sub is .85 ft^3. he already covered the box in carpet so it would be a waste of money to get rid of it. any suggestions?

[BIGCHEECH814]

i bought the amp cause i know im gonna get better subs later, i just got the subs for cheap and i dont have alot of money now to buy better ones

[bumpinstang77]

Actually the box he made is probably better then reccomended..... companies always say that their subs need WAY to small sealed enclosures...... you'll be able to get some low end out of them but it will ahve a loose sound. And for your new subs..... go with either incriminator Li's or RE SE's. Li's will get louder SE's will sound better.

when i do get the money for those, what do you think i should go for, 2 12's 1 15 or what. i would rather have better sq, ill get enough sp from ther 1200 watts

i should have the money by the end of the summer

[bumpinstang77]

well then try to get a used brahma 15 or an xxx15

[BIGCHEECH814]

where can i find those?

[bumpinstang77]

xxx 15's new direct from re www.reaudio.com they're like 425ish. Brahmas you'd have to get used just look in classifieds of car audio sections or hit me up I gotta buddy who would prolly sell one.

[BIGCHEECH814]

ill look into that when i get the money, thanks
