How about AQ hard to beat for the money. Get the 2200d and a hdc aluminum coil 12 or 15.

Edit: maybe with the money u save from not buyin the orion(which i think is moe expensive) not sure though. but then u could upgrade ur amp to the 3500d from AQ.

I once had a zx2500.1 that I ran at 1 ohm daily for over a year. Loved the amp, but it had a huge heat dissipation problem.

Probably because they're not 1 ohm stable... well they are but they're not meant to be...

The Audiopipe will do rated at 14.4 volts, I would run the Audiopipe over a 2500.1.

You say AP other person says Kicker...

This stuff is all a matter of opinoin unless you actually hook the shit up in your vehicle and find out what you like better you have no idea.

it comes down to price, the AP is about 300 bucks with warranty how much are you spending on the 2500.1? i just googled them and seen they were like 700, not assuming thats how much your spending, but which ever you can find a better deal for, brand new, with warranty is the one i would go with

I have 5 hcca 15s and whoever says theyre not musical doesnt know what theyre talking about they are great on music... with the right box. the sub sounds and is as loud as it looks. i run a 5000d to each sub and they handle the watts with ease all day long

I know the audiopipe does rated power, and so does the kicker. Both run at 2 ohms I believe so its entirely up to you. You may get a tad more out of the audiopipe, but not much. The kicker is underrated a bit, so a good 200-300 watts would be the difference. You wouldnt be able to tell by ear....
