How would you rate Orion 1200D amps?

How so?

Just what I have heard about that line, everyone, and I do mean everyone, I have talked to that used those amps say they have major voltage drops, even on the low wattage models.

No experience with them however, so if that was incorrect than point me in the right direction.

so SBLAZER you sayin that Orion amps do have a reputation for good quality? as much as MTX?

Reliability and underated, proven to be able to run at a lower impedance than they are rated for....I need to get some more for my future set ups

you will not be disappointed with orion products. Friend has an orion 2500D and it's a beast, awesome amps.

how low of a laod can the 1200d be run safely?

and is the 2500d really .5 ohm stable?

Ive used the Thunder line from MTX and so has one of my friends....no major voltage drop either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I kind of what to know who "all these people" are. And why they had massive voltage drops //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

YES the 2500d is .5ohm stable all day. i neva ran my 1200d lower than 1ohm.

x2. Never ran my 2500d lower than 1. Maybe later //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

1200D is 0.5 ohm stable, it can take it all day.

I can't vouch for the MTX amps being current hogs. I ran a 1501D on a stock charging system and never had any noticable voltage drops. However I don't have any noticable ones with my Orion 1200D as of now. It did draw a LOT of current at idle. Like 3 amps.

it maybe stable at .5ohm cuz u have 2 take in effect of boxrise. juss get some juice goin 2 it and u should be fine. orion are beast amps and they love gettin power and givin it as well,. the 2500d, has been ran down to .17ohms and it juss laughed. they put out awesome power when they are modded also, but thats another story
