What do you think about orion subs?

Whats does everyone think about Orion H2 subs and amps?

• im looking at a 2500 peak/1000 rms watt h2 sub from Orion, i know its old school, but I just want opinions, I heard they blow kicker and soundstream awayy

• Answer:

  Since Orion has gone CEA-2006 compliant and has shown a reputable product, it's an excellent choice. Give some specs and I'll tell you what I really think....90 dB or higher sensitivity is ideal. Side note: --------------------- If your total system power is 1000 watts RMS or more, you will need to: 1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator 2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery 3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground from the battery to the chassis and the ground strap from the engine/tranny to the chassis with at least 1/0 AWG wire. If your total system power is 800 watts RMS or more, you will need to: 1. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery 2. Upgrade the "Big 3" Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail. Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621 A second battery is never a good idea as it's an added strain on the alternator to charge two batteries AND supply power for the car. The ONLY time a second battery is useful is if the audio system is to be used with the car off. A cap is only good so far as the audio system isn't trying to pull too much from the electrical system. A cap doesn't provide more power, it's designed to 'stiffen' the voltage to the amp, nothing esle. If the current isn't there, a cap won't help. The alternator must have at least 20% more amperage power than the entire vehicle and sound system combined for a cap to be of benefit which is ironically the same requirements for an amp to be efficient.
