Orion subs and amp
My knowledge of car audio comes from Crutchfeild manufactures. So i really don't know of the "other" market of audion equipment.
So I have an opptunity for a trade here. I am giving up Leg Pads (Ice Hockey). The guy has 2 10" orion xtreme subs w/an orion colbalt cs100.2 amp. So I have never heard of Orion. So what do you think of that set-up...
I kinda think the amp is underpower alot, so I could use that amp till i get a higher powered one then use the CS100.2 for another set of speakers.
some specs that I have found:
AMP:
Variable high pass crossover 30Hz-1kHz
Variable low pass crossover 30Hz to 2.5kHz
XBC12 Bass Boost
8 gauge power/ground
16 gauge speaker
High efficiency heatsink
PWM power supply
100% QC Tested
2 Ch x 50 Watts @ 4 Ohms
2 Ch x 100 Watts @ 2 Ohms
1 Ch x 200 Watts @ 4 Ohms
Signal Processing: continuously variable high pass (50Hz-1kHz) or low pass 30Hz-250Hz
Fuse Size: (1)20 AMP ATC
Dimensions: 5.7" x 10.1" x 2"
SUBS:
The latest in a long legacy, the Xtreme woofers series has been a cornerstone in the ORION woofer line for over a decade

Xtreme woofers use a SANTORPRENE surround for Xtreme longevity, a full Nomex wrap on a glass epoxy former to insure maximum power handling and a parabolic dish design for incredible sensitivity
The Xtreme woofers are available in 8" thru 15" and will perform in a variety of different enclosures
Whether you are looking for phenomenal accuracy and impact or gut wrenching low bass, the Xtreme woofer is up for the task

I've used orion in the past; I had some 12" subs. They were amazing! It sounds like a good swap to me. You can build a nice box to have that amp work out with those and have tons of power; look around the net for specs.

That does sound like a good swap. I have a 10" orion XTR 3 Dual voice coil with 350 watts RMS going to it. I have been running it for probably 5 years and it's still going strong. That amp may be a bit underpowered for them but if they are DVC subs you can run em at 2ohms to get 100 watt each i bet they would sound damn good if in the right enclosure. I would go for it if i were you.
