My budget is around 1500 for just an amp. For subs, that's around 1500 as well. I was looking at an Orion HCCA5000.1D. It's 5000w rms.
Ideally I'd want to fully meet the rms on the subs, to get the most I can out of them. I was just looking online at different forums and YouTube videos on the Orions I listed above. It seems that they mostly are for SPL and not SQ. That is where the problem lies. I want really good SQ and SPL, if it's possible.
All in all, I basically just want a really good upgrade from my 2 Pioneers and an amp that can drive them. I don't want some off brand that is crap when I could pay a little more and get much more out of either subs or amp.
I was also looking for amps that have a clip LED, like my HiFonics had. I can't seem to find any. I do tune my car with a SMD DD-1, so my subs won't clip unless I really crank it. I like seeing if I am pushing the subs too much, or too little.
