Orion 2500D Underated ?

Hey guys,

I was wondering, Since a lot of good amps like Kicker, Crossfire, Fosgate are underated.

Is the Orion 2500D also underated ?

Or it only does it's rated power ?

I thought the vast majority of the big Orion monoblocks would exceed factory ratings to some degree?

Not by a huge margin, mind you, but normally 100-200w above lowest impedence output?

You guys are talking within the tolerance spec of most of the devices in the amp. 10% over rated power is not that big a deal. Neither is 10% under for that matter. The "extra" power isn't going to be audible and probably not measurable on the mic either.
