Orion XTR 2500.1D Amp Dyno Test

Recommended Posts

It's 2017 and my brain is still wired to 1994 when the Orion XTR-2250 (1000 watts RMS) sold for 1300 bucks. Here we visit the present time when you can get a 2500 watt RMS amplifier for $439 USD. I've been in talks with Orion for a few months now as I keep getting requests to test their amps. I decided a good one to try would be the XTR 2500.1D. Rated 2500 watts at 1 ohm, 12.6 volts, seems like a good price point for many car audio enthusiasts. 

As stated in the video, Orion sent me this amp to test (not to keep, will be returned) and they did NOT pay me for this video. I had already bought an XTR 2500.1D to test, so it was also great that I had two to compare. Some people think MFG's may send me a "boosted" amp or one that's not the normal. I was able to try out both amps and confirm this is the norm for the current Orion XTR 2500.1D amp model.

If their xtr1000.4 wasn't sold out almost everywhere I would buy one. Loved me some Orion growing up.

thanks for answering my question on youtube so quickly.

You are welcome bro, I try to answer as many as I can. I'm trying to keep up, but the comments are coming with a blaze. That's awesome, I put a lot of time, effort and love into the videos I make. Glad you guys appreciate the work and I'm very happy to see an amp perform well. This is why I left my original comments during the Dyno runs and didn't do voice-overs there...wanted you guys to feel my excitement.

Those are some great numbers for that price. 

Such a small footprint too. 

Great vid! 

I test a lot of amps and very few impress me to the level I was impressed by this amp. The part you didn't see in the video was my tests with my subs. Amp was extremely clean and controlled the subs like a old school Class A/B amp. Had me smiling, but I could not find a good way to portray via video, so I left those parts out...

Depending on the final load on the amp and the type of music you listen to, you would probably be okay. The current pulls I show are the absolute worst case scenario using test tones. Most music is dynamic and average current pulls will be WAY lower than the "Max Current" numbers I'm showing. I should spend more time explaining this in my vids...

Filthy McNasty numbers there.  Love it.  Good job Orion!  Undersell and over perform and I'll keep coming back to your product time and time again.
