I havent yet blown my H2 and ive had it hooked up for about 8 months now. Mines is also a 10" dual 2. Who did your friends buy the speakers from.

Directly from Orion, where we get all of our stuff from....

"H2's are not that loud"

-I beg to differ, my h2 gets insanely loud and sounds good doing it-"Custom Sub Box-Orion h2" Box building and enclosures

i forget who it was but someone had in their sig "Orion engineers couldn't even design themselves out of a paper bag"

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

 

[verb1999]

I would like to stand up for old Orion. New DEI products are junk, but the amps Orion used to make, I think before...2003 or whenever they sold their name, are top shelf. The subs are debatable, but the HCCA and XTReme series amps you can't argue with.

To say "Orion blows" I take offense to. Throw the word "new" in there and you have a deal.

...I'd stick up for a company too if i ran all of their shit...

Don't be hatin'... I'm only partially guilty though... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And yes, I know that comment wasn't directed at me...

My seXXX has been clipped mercilessly, to the point where i have a strong "coil" smell in my truck.

i miss it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif gotta love that smell

subs blowing at half power? if the coils are fried that cant be half power. do the amps have faulty switching on the output stages or are these things mechanically falling apart? people will call out companies and say they are junk but thing is the way they made them affordable (mass produced over seas) is the same thing that will make them **** when they get a run in with bad parts during assembly/production.

Yeah, i'll agree with you on that. The old amps were killer, but its the new crap that i don't like.

I was recently told from a reliable source that there are upgrades to the new H2's rolling off the line now

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.

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.
