Thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif .. I would definately pick RF over the orions in almost every aspect, But I was curious to why Rf.com lists the T4kw @ 2800 and woofers etc is 1700.. Any difference/ warranty or anything , or are they just so cheap because there a wholesaler?

they would be cheaper just because they are a dealer

RFs dealer cost is half of retail, any mark up from there is profit

i have seen the t4000 on ebay for 1500'ish, but im glad u brought this up, im thinking of getting the t4000 next year also and would like to have opinions...

The thing that turned me to the orion 5000 is the .5 impedence.. So 1 dual 1 ohm btl will get right around 2000-2500 im assuming or the t4000 which i dont think is 1/2 ohm stable ( at least with warranty ) which will probably put out close to the same numbers also dul 1's

u might wanna look into

crossfire VR1000d's or even a pair of their VR2000D's

there are a bunch of amp choices in the price range, hell id also suggest a 40.1

see, i have four dual 4 subs, so i either have to have one do it at 2 ohms or .5, or two seperate amps @ 1

Gotcha .. so cost= 1400+300 markup ..... Well is everything else the same then?? Warranty etc.. Thats a big thing for me at least when considering buying online, because if something goes wrong you cant just bring it to the dealer

I dont think i could get my hands on one.. them seem pretty hard to come by.. I was also debating lanzar opti2000's and the vr2000's as well.. Thats why i was looking for pros/cons.. Efficiency, rated power @ voltage.. Dropping below rated imp. etc

couldnt tell ya about the warentee

a lot of people have a misconception of what a warentee does... its against manufacture defects, not if it blows //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

if your burping a 40.1 should put down atleast 5kw

Same thing im looking at, but i also need something that doesnt require too many extra batteries since i will be stuck in street B, there are quite a few limitations
