Need help identifying these DC’s

[Andrew hcca]

Hi everyone, I recently purchased some DC subs from one of my friends, he claims they are dc xl subs. Got these for a good price but the box is in terrible shape. I currently have an Orion setup with 2 hcca 124 subs on a Orion 50001.dv2 amp, but I’m getting tired of buying re cone kits every 6-8 months when the spider decides it’s had enough. My plan is to throw the DC’s to take their place for the time being, I just want to make sure I don’t over power them. From what I’ve seen I think he is correct they are the DC xl’s but the subs don’t have any type of info on them whatsoever. They have a red coil and the impedance is reading 1 ohm, they are dual voice coil. Can anyone help me confirm these are actually what he says they are? From what I see they are supposed to be 2200/rms 4400 peak.

Also with the box they came in being junk I plan to build an aero port box for my 2 Orion’s and dcs in the coming months, but in the meantime I’d have to move my auxiliary battery in the back of my blazer to fit this junk box as is. I currently have 2 stage 3 ported boxes for my Orion’s, would it be ok to put the DCs in the Orion boxes for the time being? I understand the specs are different for the boxes and they probably wouldn’t hit to their potential, but I’m more worried about damaging the subs. Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated thank you
