Orion vs eD

Dimming is related to electrical capabilities of your vehicle. Your car could "dim" more than his. Keep this in mind when getting your system installed.

You can upgrade your electrical for a modest amount...

word. i was just scared that the amp had more draw than others. if that makes any sense? is the Big 3 a pretty easy upgrade? i'll probably do that assuming i experience dimming. or a new battery under the hood? which would you guys recommend?

Like I said, I wouldn't go with Orion. eD and JL will both reproduce better bass than the Orion amp. Yes, I have heard Orion amps last a long time, but as for the Cobalt series, I'm not so sure.

In any event, JL amps last, and eD amps have a 5 year warranty. They have performance and longevity, easy call.

Ed is fan cooled and has a 3 year warrenty via interenet

to me its a no brainer,plus I had an orion once and it wasent so impressive and Orion via internet is ZERO warrenty unless u go retail and pay double

OR

buy a diamond amp,they have really great amps.

i'm so torn lol.

Ha, I don't mean the amps produce the bass. The JL and eD amp will help the speaker produce louder/clearer bass.

Everyone would love to have Sundown amps etc, but were dealing in a price range here.

You can get a used JL for about the same as an eD. Personally, I just have a hard time not getting something CEA rated nowdays. The eD is fine, just get it. I'm sure you won't regret it. Cheap, and it has a warranty.

people are going to go both ways with this one. i personally think you should just go with whatever one you like best. you will be happy with either way you go.

as cool as it would be to have Diamond amps, they have absolutely no warranty when bought online. and thats the only place i can get them for cheap. so i'm scared. The eD warranty is enticing.
