I would love this amp, it has got to be soooo rare! Look at the ohms it is stable at. Is that right?

thats not the orion 97.3's real power. it was originally rated that way to get by USACi's power rating rules. Some people call that amp the Orion "1/2 watt" amp.

It has been rerated by Orion to comply by USACi rules...its now "rated" at 300w at 4ohms. From what i understand, that amp is pretty much an Orion 2100 in a polished aluminum case. Its a beast of an amp though!!!

There's a reason why it's a concept product. It is practically useless in your car.
At over $200, it still hasn't met the reserve price. I think the seller is trying to drive up the value/demand by exaggerating the story.
Either way, it's a useless product and anyone paying more than $200 is an idiot. The seller should throw in a watch that is water resistant to 200,000ft (the joke is, you can't test it).
