I just purchased a dual 2 ohm 15" Orion H2 and I'm having some difficulty selecting the "perfect" amp. I've searched the forums here as well as a few other sites and I'm reading a lot about the Colossus, VR2000D, Orion 2500D, PHD3 etc.
I was hoping to get some advice on what would work best with this sub in a vented enclosure. Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated, I'm looking to buy something by this weekend. Also, where else can I get decent prices/warranty on amps like this besides Ebay?

Daily driving anything that does 1200 watts or more RMS. Competition as much power as you can give it and still not be afraid its going break.

ok. bare with me as I wade through the waters of designing this system. I don't want to just buy a BX1500d and call it a day. I want to go a few steps beyond that and get a high quality amp that's really going to power this sub to its full potential.
I was leaning towards the Crossfire but they've been hard to find and now I'm reading it might not be the best option. I like the idea of staying with the same brand and I can get 2500d shipped with a 1 year warranty for $600. I'm worried about it being a little too powerful for this sub though...

as for how its possible, thats what i meant about being real specific with the enclosure. Alot of testing and tuning came into play with running that setup.

daily driving = get in car, turn on deck, turn way the funk up, and jam out on my way to work or get soda or whatever. I am wondering why you are doubting this?
