- Is 3500 watts the real power output?
- That is the MAX rating Orion advertises. Continuous RMS power per channel is not specified, and Class A/B amps typically deliver well below their peak figure. Expect real output to be a fraction of 3500 watts.
- Can it run four speakers and a sub?
- It has four channels, so you can power four speakers directly. To drive a sub you would bridge two channels into one, leaving two channels for speakers.
- Does it need extra cooling?
- Class A/B amps generate significant heat. Mount it where air can circulate and keep the terminals clear; the built-in protection circuit will shut it down if it overheats.
- What size power wire does it take?
- It uses high-current terminals, so plan on thick gauge power and ground cable and a fuse rated for the amp's draw. Check the terminal openings before buying wire.
- How does it compare with a Class D amp?
- Class D amps are smaller, cooler and more efficient for the same output. This Class A/B amp trades that efficiency for simpler circuitry and a traditional design, and it needs more current and space.
