i wouldnt think it would be

also on the websites i checked it isnt mentioned that a 2500d is 1/2 ohm stable.. so i dout u going to figure it out without testing it yourself

it could be, only 1 way to find out

The 600d can be ran at .5 in moderation. Dont blast it and keep the gains set correctly. It will run a little hotter, but will have no problems. Remember your amps will most likly never see the .5 wonce hooked and powered up. Impedance rise and music will see to that.

It makes me mad because the orion 600D sais 1200 watts peak right on it but the book only sais 600x1 at 1 ohm. Maybe 1200 watts is at like 2 ohm...

higher impedence = less power

Ohms Law FTW

LOL no...

Peak is a number that the amp can do for a short amount of time. Usually during clipping. The amp does not do 1200@2ohm. The most you will ever see out of that amps is around 750-800rms. Again that is AT MOST.

peak power = when lightening strikes an amp and it sees 1.2kazillion volts of input power lol

Ok thanks for clearing that up was always confused about that shit i ordered one and will see how it pushes my type r. Will attempt to wire it to 2ohm will see how it goes....

y would you put one of those to a type r wired to 2 ohms when you have a directed 1500?

OK OK just asking for a friend tryin to save him moeny.He is tryin to push 2 12 L5's,600 rms,so I think I will tell him to just buy two refurbs,Now can anyone help me,what is impendance rise?

Because the directed was is broke it blew up once then was defective 2 other times from ikesound. I am working on replacing it now so i will see how that goes hopefully good. But i will see how loud it gets with the orion. Atleast i know i wont be over or underpowering it. Hopefully it will be atleast louder then my A8000T what do you guys think.

how will you not be underpowering it? you will be sending 400 watts (the orion is 400 x 1 @2ohms) to 2 subs rated at 500 watts apiece. You are sending a whopping 200 watts to those subs a piece. Thats starving them man...
