ok heres another question. Whats better orion 2500d or 2 Orion 1200's. now i know the 2 1200s will keep me in a small class in Isiac.

WTF is Isiac ?? You mean IASCA ?

but if i strap them then i need a dual 4 ohm XXX correct?

Yes, for a final 2ohm load.

since each amp is stable to 1 ohm, i believe you can run them strapped for a 2 ohm load.

used an orion 1200d on my xxx 15 i i really felt it wasnt enough for the sub......the amp had to work overtime just to get the most out of the sub.....peronally if ur gonna port it then 1500w should be the minimum......if it's sealed them 1000w minimum.....
get the orion 2500d and set the gains right, and then if u ever wanna upgrade u still have a powerful amp.

You dont know what you are talking about. Its the other way around

As I have been saying for years. Set your gain to allow the speakers RMS...

With a DMM? How are you figuring in for your impedance rise when you set your gains? That only gets you close. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
