i ran mine that way for a while, but it got damn hot in a hurry.btw, the 4 ohm rating of 600w is at 12 volts, expect about 675-700w bumping it to 14.4...

those r awesome amps

I've done it before and it worked, but I don't recommend it.

well,i've got somebody over at icix wanting to trade his single 4 ohm flat con o's,400-900wrms,for my 13Kv2 dual 4's,150-300wrms...the o's are much better subs,but with them beung single 4's i can hardly power them with the amp i have,the orion

What subs are you using? Why not just use it in stereo?

then based on what they are saying the answer is no........

Yep, bridiging it at 4 ohms will make the amp see a 2 ohm load

As a former Orion Dealer, I feel I should warn you. A 2 ohm load is no problem for the 2150, but a 1 ohm load is completely out of the question. You should get about 600 watts out of that bad boy that way. and it is 4ohm bridged to get a 2 ohm load I believe

hmmm depends on if what the load is is this just small bursts of bass or daily driving?

That being an older orion you might be able to pull it off, but I am not sure if I would want to try.

Orions own pdf states 2 ohms stereo. If you bridge it the amp would see a 1 ohm load. So that might be pushing it.

See if you can catch KIKI, he could tell you for sure.
