Orion 1200D or Directed Audio 1500D ?

[Bama Shadow 10+ year member]

I am looking for a new sub amp and saw these listed on ikesound for 135.00 for the 1500d and 155.00 for the 1200d. Both are refurbs and this is about all my budget will allow for now. Which one would be the best bet to run @ 1ohm on 2 12's on a stock charging system in an 07 Stang GT ?

they are both great amps, but since the directed is cheaper go that route (i can't remember if its only 2ohm stable tho)

most refurbs are brand new insides, old outsides //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

where in AL are you?? Also I would call ikesounds before I purchased anything from them, they are known for not having enough stuff in stock

I am in north of Florence, 5 mins from Tn, and 15 mins from Miss. I plan to call them as I was doing some measuring and whichever amp I get cant be over 11x19". The Orion just fits, but I cant find the specs on the 1500d yet. If anyone knows the measurments of one I would appreciate it.

They will both put out around the same power, and are both 1 ohm stable. Im pretty sure the orion is physically smaller so the 1500d might be too big. Id go with the orion because of the crappy power and ground inputs on the directed.
