im looking for a 1200watt amp for my 2 type Rs and i found the viper 1200.1 for like 230 and since its so much cheaper than the orion or ppi but since they are all owned by directed audio whats the difference?
old reputation, b4 they got bought they made amazing amps, they still do but now they share there technology with viper and directed. btw i found a viper 1200.1 for $125
i wanted to get an orion 1200 but i dont think im going to be able to afford it right now, do you think that the viper would be the same? or how much of a difference?
really? wow is that one for 125 on ebay? because its refurbished and id rather get one new but thanks. so would you recomend that i just get the viper? and what about mixing amps because i have an orion 4002 for my speakers, would it matter if i got a viper amp? like would they interfear with each other?
so would you go with the viper over the orion? cuz im 18 so money is kinda tight but i still care alot about the quality i want it to sound good, im upgrading from audiobahn so i want it to be amazing compared to that
Be careful of refurb amps. Not everyone replaces the WHOLE board. Some just to spot repair with cheaper parts to save money. I'd go with new, used, then refurb.

Ive been in car audio for about 4 years.Huntsville is like the biggest medium size city in the US or something like that, there is about 7 car audio shops on the same street, and about 15 total in about a 20 mile area, so i get to see and hear alot of stuff, plus my truck gets alot of attention, so other guys with systems and I talk alot.
But if u have a warranty, u can keep sending it back , and u will end up getting something nice.
thanks for the advise isaac, i think that i am gonna try to find something new since i have spend so much on the rest of my system i dont want to settle for a refurb, so there is a viper 1200.1 for about 250 shipped on ebay right now i think that i will try to get that because i dont seen many orion 1200s on there any more for less than like 450
I won an orion! there was a brand new orion (well WCC) 1200D amp on ebay for sale that was up to 175 and i asked him to end it early for 250 and he said ok so i got it for 270 shipped and i had $100 in ebay gift certificates so it only cost me 170, i think i got a pretty good deal... wat do you guys think?
