I just recently aquired this amp and I am looking for the specs on it (rms power, bridgeable, 2 ohm satble). I googled it with no luck. Hopefully someone can give me some info on it. All I know about this amp is that it is a four channel amp & on the front shows 240 rms (don't know if that is accurate or not). Any help would be great.

edit: Forgot to state the model is 430

Orion, at least in that era numbered their amps with the first digit being the number of channels and the remaining numbers being what the amp was rated, into 4 ohms.  The 430 is a 4 channel 30 watts per channel.  The amp is 2 Ohm STEREO stable.  This amp will do double the 4 ohm rating into a 2 ohm load.  Hence  the 240 watts Rms on the amp.

I just wanted to add to this; that I have been VERY impressed with these amps since I got my first one about 6 years ago. I had an Orion Cobal CS800.4, but I (stupidly) sold it and now I have a CS.100.2 that is currently pushing my Focal TN-52 tweeters. They are stout little amps; especially for the money, and mine have always been noise free.

IMHO you've got a good amp.

 Considering I only paid $40 for it, I would have to agree. I don't know what these amps sell for. I just could not pass up the deal.

I paid $15 shipped for my CS100.2, and it will do every bit of the rated 50 x 2. IIRC I got my 800.4 for ~$50...
