Kicker provides 2500+ rms @2ohms

Orion provides 2500+ rms @1ohm

Kicker can be ran @1ohm daily.

I personally prefer the Kicker, hands down, no question.

I have owned and experience BOTH amplifiers.

this has come up before

general concensus was that the kicker's a lot more efficient, but the orion's cheaper

But Wich One Is More Reliable More Clean Power And Would Last Long

both put out the same except the kicker dose it @ 2ohm's while the orion dose it @ 1ohm.

so they are the same except or their ohm loads...

kicker is more exspensive but is more efficent and probly puts out a little cleaner signal, though to regular ears that wouldnt be noticable........kicker is rated @ 2 ohms BUT WILL RUN 1 OHM daily no problem and probly put out more power considering it does 2500 @ 2 ohms. if u run it at 1 ohm and get some imp rise youll still be in the 2500w neighborhood while the orion @ 1 ohm with imp rise probly wont be in the 2500w range.... kicker is better by far. but then again the orion is a little cheaper

both are reliable amps, kicker is just a little beter.....you get what you pay for though.......

ya, never heard of any reliability problems with either

get whichever one fits your budget and your electric system better

if you have the extra amperage at hand to save a few bucks and get the orion go for it

but if your electrical's on the slim side, spend a bit extra on the kicker, and you wont have to shell out as much to get full potential out of it

Out of those two- get the kicker. Far better amp

Had both, have the kicker now.. nuff said.

I've had both. I'd rather have Orion. Very nice, stable amps. Awesome for daily and low ohm loads. They'll do whatever you want.

Kicker's can get weird sometimes, but that is only due to me running them under 2ohm. They sure make some power though, and are very efficent.

They are both really nice amps.
