Orion????

[ameuba10]

anyone here heard of orion? they are a company that makes subs, speakers, amps, etc. i was with my bud the other day when he picked up a 10 inch 1200 watt orion sub. not sure of specific model but the guy he bought it from said it costs $600. but this thing is huge. it weighs at least 35lbs. he bought it for $75. i was just wanting to know if anyone has heard of/has any orion products and if they are worth anything. i personally have never heard of them.

Yeah, their pretty good subs. I have a pair of "12 Hot Set Up subs. The owner of the shop that sold them to me more than 10 years ago said Orion made them and their still thumpin after all those years.

I think they're like most companies. They have not so good low-end stuff, then nice high end stuff.

I can't really speak on anything because I've personally never ran or even seen their products, but I have heard good things on other forums. Mainly the subs.

They are waaaay old-school. I used them when I was in HS. I'm 29 now. They were really good back then. I had an amazing Orion set up in a 1993 Mustang GT. Like most car audio companies they were bought out and everything is manufactured in China now. I'm pretty sure they are owned by DEI, the same company that makes Viper alarms, and several other brands. I wouldn't buy their stuff, but I'm sure it's decent for the money.

Lawlz! I was just gonna say "I remember Orions from back in the day"

Didnt know they were still around. But yeah their high end products were on par with boston acoustics.

Wow, throwback!! I used to run 2 10" Orions with a rockford amp a while back. They were hand me downs but they could still bump pretty good. Those things can take a beating, I never knew they made amps though.

Speaking of old skool, does anybody remember the MTX Blue Thunder series subs, those things were bad@ss. Do they still make those?

I still use my Orion XTR3 DVC's 12's from 1998, they are hooked up to a kicker ZR360....they slam hard. I paid 170.00 a piece almost ten years ago. When I sell my car though I will be getting one solobaric 10. Orion makes some sick competition stuff, it is expensive though.

yea well my boy just blew the dern thing. he put in a cheap sealed box and he explained something about not enough air or something in the box and the sub just kinda blew itself.
