MTX 1501d vs. Orion 2500d

Hey guys.. just need some help with this one. I currently have an MTX 1501d and I can get a good deal on a orion 2500d. Right now the MTX is running 2 Kicker L7 12" @ 2ohm. And its not fully pushing them. The Orion can make the power I need at 2ohm.. even more @ 1ohm (for when I get my DD 9515g).

Really what I need to know is the quality difference between these two amps. Also anyone running a orion 2500d, what electrical (alt & bat's) are being used.

If it helps the car is a 2000 Monte Carlo SS with 0/1 ga. and a yellow top and the Big 3 has been done.

Thanks.

I recommend you stick with your MTX 1501d, since I want the 2500d you were looking at buying

As far as quality goes they are both very stoutly made amps and can take plenty of abuse before smoking. They have both proven themselves as being strong performers time and again. Keep the voltage up and the Orion can go plenty low with no problems (daily 0.5 and burp lower)

The 2500D is going to pull 300a at full boogy so build your electrical accordingly.

Thanks for the advice guys! So it can be ran @ .5ohm then for daily music? My subs are 2ohm DVC so I can get it down that low

2500D will do 0.5ohm daily just fine as long as it is fed suffuciently.

I would get the Orion if you can get it at a good price.
