WCC D5000 same as ORION 2500D?

are they the same amp? there is a guy here in town who has 2 of the d5000's for sale and they are both brand new, he's selling them at a good price...i've been looking for a good deal on a 2500d for a little while, but if this is essentially the same thing i may pick it up...even though i'd hate to have something that says WCC in my car, if it does what i need i'll get over it...

Same amp, its just rebadged, take the badge off on top and the orion sign is just below it.

duh, you can tell just by looking at the heat sink.. I'm sure he was wondering about the internals.. which is really what matters, now isn't it?! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

edit: I retract the last statement and apply this one: A monkey could have figured that one out.

i checked the amps out, they are sweet, one is still in the plastic and the other is mint just taken out to show it off...im probably going to snatch up both of them....but not before another question, 2500d or hcca 5000d?

Get the 2500d the Hcca have reliability issues still. I have run a few over the last year and installed a few. Need a ton of power for either amp, but the 2500d seems a little more stable right now.

simular yes, exact same no....

pretty much since DEI bought out orion the quality has gone down (as does most companies that DEI buys out lol)....

both are decent amps....but 2500d > d5000 for sure...
