Anyone familiar w/ the Orion 2500d Amplifiers?

[mrfr3sh2def]

Hey All,

So I am currently in the process of starting my build in my Honda Accord. I purchased a minty Orion 2500d as well as 2 Orion 4002's.

I would really like to run my Orion 2500d at a .5ohm load to push it to the max (it will be powering 2 SSA XCon's (1750 rms each). I was told that if i can keep my voltage up at .5 ohms that this amp can get near 3500rms (3000 is fine w/ me). fyi i also found users stating that the amp will want to draw around 400amps when ran at .5ohms??

What type of electrical upgrades do you think i will need in order to keep my voltage up around 14v and to stay put?

Here is what i have so far (not currently hooked up yet). Is this enough?

Big 3 Upgrade

1 XS Power D4700 2900 Amp 12 Volt (up front)

1 Kinetic HC3800 - 135AH - 3800W (in back)

1 Kolossus Fleks 0 Gauge Dual Amp Power Kit (OFC)

1 Singer Alternator - 240A - 160A idle (260A peak)??? I didn't buy this yet but will if needed, possibly bigger? They also offer the following direct bolt on's:

275A - 170A idle (310 peak)

320A - 180A idle (340 peak)

Fyi - both 4002 will be power a total of 12 other speakers at a total of 800wrms split

I also am running 55w HID headlights and 55w HID fogs if that matters.

I am trying to get this right so I do not have to change it later or spend/waste more money.

Feel free to chime in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I hope this is not considered a dupe thread.

Get the biggest alt you can afford. Get a volt meter. Test it out. Go from there.

I have an Orion silversurfer. Never ran it at .5 ohms, but know it pulled around 320amps at 1ohm mono. Great brute force amp, one of the most durable I have ever owned.

man, these things used to be a forum boner for a while. while certainly not related to the old prion stiuff (the 2500 is a dei amp) its a fine amp in its own right. id be leery of continued half phm load, but I remember they were ok with it with proper electrical
