What do you think about orion subs?

(3) 12" Kicker L5 sealed vs. (2) 12" Orion HCAA'S?

  • Hello, I am currently running (3) 12" Kicker L5's in a sealed box w/ a 2500.1 Kicker 2 ohm mono amp. I asked a question about sealed vs. ported before and it was advised I go with a ported box. I have looked into paying to have a ported enclosure built and it seems I can actually do a speaker upgrade w/ enclosure for the price of a new ported built box. My question is which pair of speakers will out perform and hit lower and higher base frequencies in a ported box than my (3) 12" Kicker L5's (2) 12" Orion HCAA'S ? (2) 12" JL Audio w7 ? (2) 15" Kicker L7 ? Or any other brand out there that you think will give my 3 12's a run for their money. I plan to maintain the same 2500.1 kicker amp. Subs will be in the trunk of a Dodge Challenger. Thanks!!

  • Answer:

    Go with Orion HCCA's. those were 2000 watts RMS each, or one 18 inch Kicker Solo X 5000 watts RMS. the w7 and L7 both were 1000 watts RMS, looks nice but not as decent as HCCA. Also the sundown audio Nightshade Fi audio BTL RE audio XXX or MT series those are not bad at all. yea. good luck. If you have that the kicker zx2500D amp, go get one of the 12 inch kicker solo X or a 18 inch solo x is going to be loud as hell.

The guy above me is right... I would go with one 12 kicker solo x, one 12 orion hcca, or one 12 re audio xxx... That amp will push 2 Orions (but if you do 2, go with 10s), cause that one 12 HCCA should be able to handle all the power from your 2500.1... That one amp could run 3 Kicker L7 12s, if you wanted to stick with the same set up with some stronger subs... Really depends on how much of your amp you want to use. I am sure the birth sheet on your amp reads like 2800 watts rms or higher... Thats if you want to use it to its full potential though.

Go with kicker solo x they are the most powerful...
