Orions in custom box or Kicker prefab?

[nfl2009 10+ year member]

need suggestions please, will be using the rear channels bridged of an older MTX amp, 325 rms at 4 ohms

I can either go with this kicker unit, about $375 Canadian to my door

or

a local custom builder has these recommendations

A PAIR OF ORION 1000 WATT/XTREME 10" SUBS IN A CUSTOM BUILT BOX FOR $450 OR A SAME PAIR OF ORION XTR12" SUBS/CUSTOM BOX FOR $550

please advise

None of your options sound reasonable to me...

can you elaborate?

this particular box builder is highly regarded in my neck of the woods

The Kicker comp prefab = meh

Orion XTR10 = $134.50 canadian (each)

Orion XTR12 = $155.30 canadian (each)

That means the price of the enclosures would be pretty hefty, and that's why I don't think your options are reasonable...

would those orion setups sound ok though?
