ok so i took your guys advice and ive been scowering ca.com for some quality stuff and i came upon a used 2500d for 350 shipped, is that a good deal? has anyone had experience with this amp? will it hold a .5 ohm load daily? i think i may have found a good deal on some used SX's dut they are dual 2ohm coils so im really looking at an amp that will hold .5 ohms or put down around 2-3k watts at 2 ohms (probably not going to happen on my budget).
not sure if the price is a bargain but they r very solid amps ...a guy on here used to run it on 1\2ohm daily but his electrical upgrades were tops + he is an installer so he knows what he is doing
if u want to run 1\2 ohm then y not buy a capable 1\2 ohm amp like a mmats or 1 of those sundown amps ....
I had one of mine at ~.7ohm. Had it on a DD9918 (Dual 1.5). It worked solid, but I never had it hooked up long at all. I've had 3 of em, and all were very solid amps, but I also agree with rovin, y not just buy a .5ohm stable amp to start with and not take the risk?? Besides, 2500ds are kinda old now, and more than likely the one your gettin has been passed around quite a bit <<< the reason I'm not gettin another one for my next set up. All that being said $350 is still a good price for a 2500d.
yea i am looking for a amp that is stable at .5 ohm but its hard to find one that will put down a ton of power and be stale when your broke like me. however if i can get these 2 sx's for 280 shipped then i should have about 400 to spend on an amp.
$350 is good for Orion 2500D so I would jump on that.
I would not buy any used subs unless you know the people you are dealing with. Now days no one runs the RMS power on the subs or they clip the fu(k out of them from not knowing what they are doing.
great price..i sold mine 2 months ago for 435 shipped on ca.com...who's selling you one?
.5 daily will be a lil harsh on it but it is still a very solid amp..only thing is theyre getting kinda old and theres no telling how many people b4 you have had it or whta they put you through.....it's alot of money to spend on something tha tyou dont know if it's got a week or 2 years of life left in it....good luck on your search though
also i had to have a h.o alt and 3 batts just to keep it from dropping below 12 volts...so make sure your ready for some shizt like that
