Orion blows......literally

One big reason he sticks with Orion is Service //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Anyone wanna argue that. didnt think so.
Now to throw my 2 cents in about the product. I have yet to blow any H2 subwoofers due to overpowering them and I can guarantee you I have used, installed, seen more of these woofers than anyone on this board (including you shane, lol) I have blown a few and have no problem admitting it and it was due to my own error or amps taking them out (again my own error though) or cones buckling(new surrounds helped that out alot and look better too, lol). Right now I DO run 4 1200d's to 1 H2 12 in my daily driver and it takes it fine. These subwoofers do seem to be alot more picky about the enclosure you put them in and the signal they get though but if done right they work great. One thing I will say is that I personally have had better luck with the 12's than I ever did with the 15's. The 15's seem to be alot pickier, lol.

The amps can be piky as well though although they do work awesome and are underated. How can you complain about something that gives you that much power for those price tags. The rca imputs on some of the 2500d's do seem to have issues and anyone that has run anything over 8volt(even some 8 volt headunits) have seemed to fry these (not sure why people are still trying it) the 1200d's were designed with a defect that only effects them when strapping them. Dont do it how it says in the manual.

I know most the people you are referring to and most if not all had no problems till they wanted to change there stuff around. Alot of times when you start changing things up some unplanned things can happen, happens to me and I think I know what I am doing too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif lol.

You wouldnt happen to have any pics of your "daily driver" setup would you?

This post is ridiculous.. I dont think there ever has been any brand not to have some issues, and with the changes in ownershio of compaies as car audio collides things may be affected. Like 10 years ago Soundstream was the best stuff you could own and all the best show car of the time ran reference 6.0 and such. Then they went down the shitter. The same could be said about a group of friends and kicker or phoenix gold. They are electronics so it trail and error. More often than not user or installer error.

Maybe the newer Orion/DEI is have some problems but there is no point in bashing.. Cuz the older stuff has been the tops for as many years as I have been going deaf from my first xtr 12's and 2100 HCCA

Plus if anyone would ever read these forums people would not ever buy the H2's anyway //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i will have to give it to orion in this department. there service is inpeccable, especially comming from a large mainstream(non net based) company. they were a pleasure to talk to and answered any questions i had(even though a tech told me that anything under 1200w would blow the speaker due to insuffcient cooling...lol).

well said my friend. i think that maybe part of the reason y i love orion, is the service of them and the peeps i deal wit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif and this new box seems 2 be wha the H2s are liking. so we shall see. juss need the amp 2 hold up on me. i dont think i was sending it 2 high of a voltage, but im not sure. let juss hope this one comes and gives me my massage chair back //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Orion and PPI have both gone to crap ever since DEI took over. This is why I refuse to buy their new products.

AMEN TO THAT BROTHER:laugh:

Tobias you're so full of shit it defies description. All of the problems you had are not, NOT, user error. You blew up an H2 with a d*mn 1200d.
I honestly have no idea why you keep running the d*mn H2's. It seems like you are brainwashed or something. You keep having problems, breaking stuff, and yet you keep getting the same stuff, AND telling others to get them as well.

Just makes absolutely no sense.

H2s are great subs and its the best stuff i have came across in awhile...ORION>TOMMYK

Thank you for reminding me about this thread //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Well I dont know about there newer stuff, but back in the day when I had the xtr 12" subs, they blew like no other. I think I went through 10 subs with in a year. I loved them when they played, henced why I stuck with the brand. That is the reason though I dont use orion anymore. Sounds like not much have changed. I do however liked and never had a problem with the hcca amps. Those kicked ***!

Opps old thread, just read it. Oh well I typed so I am posting. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Also did anyone else notice that SBLAZERS grammar was better back in the day. Now it is ebonics out the ***. What happened bud? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just makes absolutely no sense.

And by the way, only 3 of the NUMEROUS things i posted were about you. So it's not like you are the only person i know breaking orion stuff.

The best stuff you've come across in a while? The only subs you've owned before the H2's were ONE SE 12" and some MTX 4000's. I don't think you've experienced anything that SHOULD be comparable to an H2, thus the H2 is obvioulsy the best thing you've come across.....

Please retaliate. I want to see your futile efforts to support orion.

Funny to see how things change, lol.

Mark said the only company he'd compare Orion to is Boss/Pyramid...lol
