Yes, please do! My mcintosh is all set up and sounding great. My orion on the other hand isn't working. Hopefully is just my fault. The amp powers up, just doesn't power the subs. The subs are wired properly, and just took a meter to them and they are running at a 4 ohm load, so nothing there.

Any ideas, maybe my RCA hookup?

Can you post a link to the manual?

You have separate rca for the subs, other than the 2 rca for the mac?

Here you go: Orion Car Audio 9002 Owner's Manual (Page 2 of 24)

And yes, I do have a separate set of RCA's for the subs

Ok I will look at it, are using one sub per channel? or are you bridging the amp to run both subs?

I am bridging the amp for the use of one channel.

I'd put the right phase to 0 and the left phase to mono, and I would only have to use the right RCA.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Cant seem to grasp the setting on that amp with out the actual amp, by just reading that manual, maybe some one who know these amps can chime in...

Maybe you have the gain to the lowest position so no sound.

I've got it now, nothing was happening, and a I reialised that one RCA terminal was loose. Took the amp cover off and there was a cold solder point on it so it cracked. It's all fixed now and working great, thanks!
