I made up my mind on a lanzar opti2000d, then I found I can get a new orion 1200d for the same price. So Im undecided.

it will be run at .7 ohms, and im looking to get around 1500-1800 watts @.7. I cant find anywhere the specs on the opti RMS below 1 ohm. This is what it says:

700 Watts RMS Power into 4 Ohms

1100 Watts RMS Power into 2 Ohms

1600 Watts RMS Power into 1.3 Ohms

**2000 Watts Max Power into .5 Ohms** MAX???

2600 Watts Bridge Max Power Into 2 Ohms

both are the same price.

I know the lanzar will handle under .7 fine, but its more of a "cheaper" amp than the orion, but how will the orion handle the .7 load.

the lanzar is MADE to be run at .5ohms, the orion isnt MADE to run at .5, but i can handle it.

The optidrive series is the best lanzar has and is the only lanzar amps I have actually wanted. Usually I would pick orion over lanzar but not in this case.
