I'm having a friend test my Orion NT200, and at 4 ohms mono it does its thing quite beautifully from what I understand. But at 2 ohms mono, one of the fuses keeps blowing.
So while I have it sent elsewhere for a checkup/overhaul, I have a question about proper ohm load for this amp. The NT100 is most likely built to run at a lower ohm load, but I don't know for sure.
What I do know is that there seems to be a lot of misinformation passed off as the truth. I've seen some pretty ridiculous claims behind some of the Orion amplifiers. And strangely enough, a quick trip through the manuals could clear up at least one of those misconceptions. But back to this amp, there's no way in the world it's going to do the 993 watts I've seen floating around the net.
Can someone with more experience than me (that's probably most people) tell me what the proper operating loads are for the NT200? Is it just like a 2250 and only capable of 4 ohms mono?
I'm not even going to run it mono, I'm just curious.

Thanks
And if someone can prove me wrong about this amp having that many watts with a legal test, (not just a clamp and your own math). I'll be more than happy to correct myself in saying this amp will never do over 900 watts. Even though it seems like it should. But I'm not far enough along to be able to tell you how much an amp can put out just by looking at the board.
