Orion & Precision Power...any good?

Are Orion or Precision Power speakers and subs any good?
I'm looking at a 6" component set for the front and a 10" sub for the cabinet in back. Not looking for overpowering noise, just want a little detail.

Thanks!

ehh I see and hear alot about audio stuff since I do work at a shop, and those 2 names are kinda old school, don't see or hear alot about them anymore. I have really good luck with Diamond Audio, Eclipse, Kicker, Pioneer and there are some brands I don't sell that I like too, Infiniti, Nakamichi, Alpine, etc....This week I am having my head installer build me a box engineered off of BassBoxPro(box building program), with 2 Diamond 12's in it, I know that is probably a little too much for you, I think you would be happy with one Diamond Audio CM3 10 inch sub, very beefy yet produce a nice crisp bass, I really like these subs! Retail I would expect to pay somewhere around $129-169 USD for one, and for a custom box, anywhere from $75-150 USD. The Diamond Audio D3400.2 is a perfect match for this sub, runs in the $300-375 range, and remember all DAT products come with a 3 year warranty if an authorized dealer installs it!

I still have my Orion XTR 12" subs and Orion (don't know the exact model off top of head) for about 6 years now. Still going strong.
A kid I know that lives up the street from me just recently bought a set of Orion components. They sound really good. I want his x-overs just for the way they look. Slap a little neon or LED's inside and should look really nice.
From what the word is around here, Rockford is falling off bigtime, And Orion is making a slow comeback.
