Keep my ALPINES or Trade for Orion H2?? Help

[AudioPLaya368 10+ year member]

Hey guys Someone offered me a 15" Orion H2 sub its 1300 watts rms and dont know much about the subwoofer, in trade for my 3 12" Alpine Type S subwoofers. I dont know which would be louder and sound better so all your help would be appreciated. My 3 12's screamed with my interfire IFb 2340 and I dont know what that 15 would do but it sure save a lot of room in my 4 door quad cab 05 ram

That H2 will get pretty loud. I highly doubt it will keep up with the SQ of your Type S' tho.

Agree there about the sq. But the H2 can get crazy loud if you want to outdo someone in spl with the right amp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

when I had my 3 type s 12's in there powered by my interfire IFB 2340C which is 1300 wattrs rms 1 ohm i was shocked how loud it was I still have a headache. But i decided to trade for the H2 because its much smaller doesnt take up my enitre back seat and is actually more watts rms then all of the subs combined. I hope that the H2 outpowers the alpines but we will soon find out.

1 Orion H2>3 Type-S

Keep the Type S's they would probally sound alot better and depending on the box louder aswell.. In my mind 3 12" Type S's > 1 15 Orion H2, esp if its one of the newer ones.

What are the specs on that amp ? interfire IFb 2340

isn't the total cone area something to factor in here?

Well despite some of you guys saying I should keep my type S's in the end the H2 will be worth more if i go to sell it and it will save me nealry 3 feet of extra room in my ram. Thanks all your coment have been very helpful!
