DC 2.0k x2 strapped vs Orion 2500xtr?

Recommended Posts

I have a single DC 2.0 k and the Orion 2500. I'm trying to get as much out of my DC M4 Elite 15 as I can and I'm trying to figure out whether or not two of the 2.0k will actually outperformed the Orion. Currently the woofer is a dual 1.4 and I am getting a hair over 2500 watts out of the Orion but I cannot find any information about the actual output of the DC units strapped. With my current setup biome rise gets me to 2.3 ohms. Any assistance you all can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Let's back up. Are you wired at .7 nominal currently?

Using 2 boards, at 1.4, nominal,( your only choice with a board per coil) you'll struggle to make power. 4k wired at 1.4. VS  2500 at .7, is probably a wash. Not enough to notice with your ear hole anyway. Maybe a db, on the meter. Maybe. 

Strapping daily at .35 doesnt sound real fun for daily.  Wired at .35 daily lasted about 3 months for me, until I nuked both boards. That's your call. 

Get a 5k board and run at .7 ??? 

I am with home boy up above tho (Wil). If I have the options of strapping or gain matching, I'll gain match 104% of the time. Just me, and just my personal preference.
