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.

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

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

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

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

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