orion xtr 2150 a good amp?

just wondering is an orion xtr 2150 a good amp,ive had this amp since 1996 and had no problems with it other than it shutting off when it gets reeel hot,,but all speakers i have used keep blowing out,first i had 2 orion xtr 12dual voice coil and the leads that go to the coil keept breaking,then i got three jl audio 10 w6 and only got one out of the three working others are frozen,any suggestions on subs to use,amp is bridged and card on amp set for low frequency Jose Chapa

try eclipse or cadence. ive never had problems with either brand.

I can't speak for the xtr 2150, but I own 3 Orion 2250sx amps and 1 Orion 2510sx amps. I believe they were all made before the xtr model came out. My amps have all ran good since I bought them (around 10 years ago I think). Right now they're stored until I need to use them again though. If your amp is getting hot and shutting off, I'm guessing you probably are running the ohms too low. I believe it's a 4 ohm load bridged (mono) recommended on those amps (at least it was for the SX series). However I ran my 2250sx's at a 3 ohm load and they held up well. I just had to changed the internal fuses to a little higher rating (I know they have low amp fuses for a reason though). LOL Good luck and let us know if you get this figured out.no sig

I guess we can't edit our posts here. On the first line of the last post, I meant I have 3 Orion 2250sx amps and 1 Orion 2150sx amps.no sig

All of the older Orion amps were good amps.'85 Toy

The XTR had removable top plate (great idea if it didn't rattle) where the SX had no removable plate. SX did have the clip indicator lights which dissapeared on the XTR. Both very good amps, just make sure to feed them well when it comes to power.04 MDX - Clarion DRZ9255 / MB Quart QAA4250 / MB Quart QSD216 / Orion Concept 97.2 / JL Audio 10w6v2
