True.

But if you want your equipment to last forever I would use a larger amp so it's not running at 80+ precent capacity.

The D2400 will do 600 at 2ohms and have tons of head room.

PS the 600D model is a couple of years old. The replacemtn is now the D1200.

looking for mostly bumpin not as much sq, but im tryin to find an amp that puts out 500 rms at 2 ohm at this point and this is the cheapest amp.

It's just as nice as the others, but alas most people want big amps.

Your application...ie:what you'll be pushing and your music taste. Will determine wether or not it's a good deal for you. Im selling my new D2400's for $275 each.

So just depends on your situation.

is it worth buying? its not one of the high wattage amps talked about so i was wondering if its as good as the higher orions

Don't quite get your question.

Whats the concern you have with the 600D?

is the orion 600D an example of the quality of the newer orions?

Viper and Directed amps are pretty much identical guts, with different casings. Pretty good "generic-ish" amplifiers. At least as good as current Hifonics and the like, if not somewhat better I'd say.

Thanks for the imput guys Much appriciated!

All are pretty similar in quality. I used the 2500D's for 2 seasons. Just put a D2400 in my girls car on 2 10" subs and it's a nice surprizing sound.

I used 2 of last years 1200D's (similar power output) to run my 16 12's when it was first done. Used 4 of the 1200's at 3 dbdrag's last year. Strong and reliable.

If I can help you get one let me know. I have some in the classifieds section. Brand new.

but anything from DEI these days is pretty good.
Even the Viper brand?? That is DEI owned I believe. Those seem to be pretty cheap...but how do they compare to the PPI and the Orions in build quality?
