I wantted to see what was the general consensus on Orion amps, and also the new PPI series Amps? What amps do you think are comparable?

I run a 2500d and I'm perfectly happy with it. The guys on DIYMA that are amp savvy said the internals are pretty decent in today's standard as well.

I prefer the old original Orion SX/GS/HCCA/GX/etc series amps, but anything from DEI these days is pretty good.
Very fair power per dollar, and solidly built amps.

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?

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.

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.

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