AQ vs. Orion?

Well guys, I'm looking at buying one in good used condition for around the price of an AQ2200D new, and it's gonna be pushing 2 Fi Q 15's (1000wRMS a piece). I've known several people with Orion subs that are absolutely infatuated with them, but I haven't heard much of their amps hence the question.

 
I was also looking at the Orion's specs and noticed... it doesn't have a subsonic filter?? So there's going to be nothing keeping the subs from bottoming out if a super low note hits? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif:confused://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

 
Ok so it seems almost unanimous not to get the newer Orions... I shouldn't have second guessed the AQ. I've heard great things about the AQ amps and only a few negative things about them, mostly slander about the build quality but coming from people that haven't used them. Thanks again guys.

 
Ok guys, I'm looking at getting an amp for 2 Fi Q 15's, and I've been through this before I know, but I have my eye on an Orion HCCA D5000 (2500w @ 1 ohm) vs. my previous choice of an AQ2200D (2200w @ 1 ohm). Subs are 1000wRMS.
Given the option, what would you choose? Thanks.
I have the HCCA 2400 for 2 - 12 inch Orion Subs and my amp's gain is turned to about a 1/3. So I have plenty of power to spare. So your stronger model would be nice IMO!

 
I have read only a few people that stated that Orion has gone downhill since Directed bought them. But I have not seen any evidence that proves this. That is why I went with Orion.

Plus, DEI is in Vista, Ca and I drive by there plant 2-3 times a week so if one of my products fail, I could always throw it through their window!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
