IA 20.1 vs. Orion 2500- head to head matchup

I am not in any way trying to say anything Bad about IA or these 20.1 amps, I jsut wish everyone would try to keep an open mind.
it seems to me that everyone that currently owns a 2500d will defend it until they die............at least until they try out our amp. I have not seen 1 person that went from a 2500 to a 20.1 that has stuck with the 2500. Now, you say that you wish for everyone to keep an open mind....well, why dont you keep an open mind, and not be the one to try and defend your all mighty 2500d when you have no knowledge of what the other amp is capable of

 
Because there hasn't been one yet you F-TARD....christ.


Don't even start talking about Gorman Cassidy...what a fucking JOKE. If you only knew what you were talking about. Just don't worry yourself bud, you're ABSOLUTELY correct you don't know...so just leave it at that.

Anyways...

I owned a 2500d for about 3-4 months...it was the biggest piece of shit I ever owned. I was running it at 1ohm daily for my XXX18, I had a 200amp alt, red top, and yellow top. The thing would straight up SHUT off when the bass hit real hard...it was rediculous. I took it out of my truck, and used a modded 1501d instead. I don't regret my decision either.

The 20.1 will straight up OWN the 2500 in most installs. The 20.1 is capable of putting out HIGH voltage while also putting out high amperage as well. The 2500d can't do that, it'll shit itself.

Not that you need to do it, but the 20.1 is capable of running down to CRAZZZZY low ohm loads. Right now, I'm running the one I have in my truck (thanks Jason) @.35ohms daily...and it LOVES it. I drove for about 2 hours to columbus, bumping it hard the entire way...and the amp got LUKE WARM...that's it...ask Jason (UCP) or Mike (IwantseXXX) or Tim (TimB).

Also...ask Gorman about how his amps like DEATH MATCH...AHAHAHAHAH. Ask him...

NG
you got a bad 2500D:p:

 
No I didnt, I never saw that # come up


Thats what I saw

If that is true you are right it is.

Thats what I am trying to say since it so such a great and efficient design and Gorman DID beat him then Gorman must of had more power to do so right? you pretty much just agreed with me, lol.

On a side note my teammates and I would always let any one take pictures and measure and do anything else they want. o point in trying to hide something, If they could get a better score with the same sdesign more power to them. Hopefully they would share with us what they did differently in exchange though. With everyone hiding everything how are things going to evolve.

I am not in any way trying to say anything Bad about IA or these 20.1 amps, I jsut wish everyone would try to keep an open mind.

1st. Your right the number never did come up - like I said broke coils.

2nd. Broke coils again....

3rd. I'm not agreeing with you at all.....Gorman did have more power has Scottie was down 6 to 8 amps (3 to 4 coils, 2 per). So yes Gorman did have more power 16 2500's to 8 or 10 20.1's

There is a reason you hide things - unless you spent countless hours working and designing a box only to have someone steal it in 3 second and come beat you with it you wouldn't understand. Every competitor you can name in Super Street has tried to see in Scotties van....No one is up Scotties ***....Give credit where credit is due. I will stand here and tell you Gorman is loud and so is the rest of his team.

Dont try to talk $hit to me or talk down to me. Did I ever say anything to you. I was trying to put this comparrison in a different perspective for everyone. I dont know what you have against Gorman as he seemed like a nice enough guy to me but dont try to take it out on me.

Anyways...

I owned a 2500d for about 3-4 months...it was the biggest piece of shit I ever owned. I was running it at 1ohm daily for my XXX18, I had a 200amp alt, red top, and yellow top.

Sounds like maybe user error as I have never seen that happen to the 1000 or so 2500d's that has went through my hands. They can be power hungry and can run at low ohms no problem IF you know how to use them properly. Maybe you just didnt have enough experience with it.

The 20.1 will straight up OWN the 2500 in most installs. The 20.1 is capable of putting out HIGH voltage while also putting out high amperage as well. The 2500d can't do that, it'll shit itself.

Again the amp will run fine at lower ohm loads and will not shit itself, lol. The 20.1 may be quite a capable amp. never said it wasnt, but get your facts straight before you open that hole again;)

Also...ask Gorman about how his amps like DEATH MATCH...AHAHAHAHAH. Ask him...

I know what happened I was standing right there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif That what happens when your amps arent stable for a long period of time because you strapped them and they were made to be strapped. well that and trying to play full tilt and go all out, just like Bob did, your bound for failure. The only reason Scotty won DM is because he tested and new at point to hold it at with out a failure(Never even broke into te 160's)Dunno if Gorman practiced for deathmatch at all but I do know Bob didnt and he was trying to hold it wide open for the whole 5 minutes, didnt quite work, lol. Scotty used some smart thinking to take it. No problems with that he seems like a smart guy even though he has never won a db drag world final.

I am not stuck on the 2500d, It's not even my amp of choice, but I do know what it is capable of. And who say I dont know what the 20.1 is capable of.

 
How about looking at it like this, lets look at 2 vehicles that competed against each other at db drag world finals. Gorman Cassidy using the 2500d's and Scottie Johnson using the IA 20.1's. I believe Gorman won and they share a world record. So they seem to be pretty equal right? Although everyone seems to be stuck up scotties *** and seems to think he has better designs and a better builder so that must mean Gorman one with pure power since they are using the same subs right? I dont know jsut asking //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
You sir haven't a clue.

Would you rather win a 200 dollar trophy or get 2 vans in a SS deathmatch and win a 25,000 dollar car?

It's all about mind games, gorman had is eye on that trophy and being the loudest SS vehicle....

Scottie had his eye on the big picture, hold back save the vans and get both of them into death match and win //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

Momma aint raise no fool.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If you want to win...you don't share your design. Let the other people figure out the best design for themselves...fuck them...I mean...you spend COUNTLESS hours of your time and hardwork...who the hell would openly straight up give out their design. Maybe you're not as competitive...never been a World Champion..I don't know. Do you have any idea of the amount of time and money, and TIME....and TIME...oh...and did I say TIME put into the vehicle? Like you said, I guess you have no idea.

x2, its like "omg the power is insane, but we cant show you, you have to buy one to see for yourself"



ghey //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
i have idea... send one to me and we can get it benched at the usamps factory... a competitors test. i promise ill return it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

Again IF that is true that is great and hope to see some good #'s at SBN. I am not going to agree with you on it though because I havent seen the numbers put up and I dont believe everything people say. yeah i'd rather have proof.

Never did say scotty wasnt loud or he didnt deserve the credit he gets. Just trying to open minds. Never said anything bad about your amps or him. Still no excuse for hiding things, If someone beats you it's cause they are louder plain and simple and if they yuse your designs to do it you should get some of the credit but shit happens and not everyone is a truly honest and decent person. Hiding stuff is just something me and my teamates dont do for the fans and for the evolution of car audio.

Oh I definately know and i also know I dont have the time to do it by myself. Boy if you only knew how much money I blew last year and wasnt even a serious contender. But my teammates are and some are current and former World champs and record holders. And they do and will also let anyone look at anything and try to help anyone out.

420 Its whats for dinner, lol.

I didn't say you did talk bad about Scottie, but some of your comments came off alittle wrong. Comments such as "he's a smart guy to have never won a championship, etc". We'll all know in late March. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Anybody in dB Drag will try to protect there secrets, if you compete long enough you will too. Like I said all of my personal friends Scottie, Gorman, Willy, Big Dave, Cook etc all spend countless hours working on there setup to be ripped of in a matter of seconds. Unless you've been screwed in the lanes....that point will never be totally clear. Until a shit talker wins because you tried to help him and then stabs you in the back, you just won't understand. Teams in drag are a must....ever notice most teams have only one person from each class.....There's a reason behind it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif See you guys at SBN!!

-No user error here bud, I assure you.

-Will the 2500d run @.35ohms DAILY? Will it run down to .0825ohms? Didn't think so...

-Just because you were standing off to the side doesn't mean you knew what was going on. Keep in mind the Big Screen was the averaged score...and Scottie did go above a 160 on the averaged part. For about the last TWO minutes, the van was doing a 163... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Also, the 20.1 DIDN'T fail...a statement to how it is a superior amplifier. Funny thing is, after the 5minutes and he won...the vans played for about another TWO MINUTES!!! Also, he pulled out of the lanes...and put up the exact same number on a full tilt burp as he did earlier that day.

So...yeah...you're clueless.

I own an Orion 2500D and (2) 1200D's aswell. Just got myself a TL:naughty: maybe we can talk business so I can get some numbers to see once and for all wich is louder:crazy:

tests I would love to do.

(1) Orion 2500D VS. (1) IA 20.1

(2) Orion 2500D's VS. (2) IA 20.1's

(2) Orion 1200D's VS. (1) IA 20.1

(4) Orion 1200D's VS. (2) IA 20.1's
