LOL you get banned under your other name so you make a new one, with almost the exact same post, and hope we won't notice?

There aren't a lot of "better" options out there if you're sticking a budget on it. A Kicker KX2500 may come to you for around $700 on ebay, but it really isn't a lot better than the Orion.

There are better amplifiers in terms of build quality, warranty, engineering, but you are going to pay for such amplifiers. Zapco, Arc Audio, Tru Technology, Brax are examples, and you'll be paying multiple thousands for an amplifier with that high an output. In your situation, you need to focus on getting a reliable amplifier capable of providing the power you need for your subs, because that's the only thing you're going to get for $700 and 2000W+.

Well we can give him credit for trying.

Ok first off, what type of subs are we talking about here?

Second, what will the rest of your setup consist of?

And finally, how much money do you want to spend?

Wait I am starting to sound like Bill, I hate when that happens.

Yeah I just noticed the 700 thing.

Personally, i'll take an Orion 2500D over the Zapco any day for the price. The orions put out what they say and they still make quality amps. If you can tell the difference in sound between a Zapco/Arc/Brax amp..more power to ya. That's not to say they're not very well built amplifiers..but the difference wont be noticable IMO.

I dunno about a type X being comparable to a W7??? You will also need a HO alt. Which will cost like 300+ don't forget your 0g wire kit :) How about two JBL bp1200.1's?
