HOW TO POWER THE ORION H2 AND ELECTRICAL UPGRADE!?

Jeffrey New member Username: Jeffless600 Post Number: 6 Registered: Feb-06	Posted on Thursday, February 23, 2006 - 05:18 GMT well i dont have much money and i have a Orion h2 12". I dont want to spend more then around 300 for an amp for my H2. The Hifonics amps look like there the best price/power. My main question is at what point or amp size will i defiently need to upgrade my electrical system. THANKS!

(just a ball-park figure) if you want to properly power an H2 12"...your gonna be looking at 1500wrms+. That would mean an alt upgrade (prolly 200A), big-3, and a batt. I really wouldnt recommend H2's though...they are kinda inefficient. they can get loud, it just takes alot of power to get them loud. (wasted power) how loud do you want to be? for most people, a 1000-1200wrms amp w/ a good sub(s) in the right box is far more than enough.

To make that sub happy you will need at least an Orion 2500D+ at least a 200A alt and one yellow top Optima bat plus all the wiring. This hobby isn't cheap and any level, lol. Polo..
