Old Orion Sub

Here is an auction for the exact same sub that I installed in my wife's car last year. I bought it a few years ago on eBay for like $30 new and it was sitting around for awhile.

Do you guys know if this sub is any good? I have been unable to find any T/S specs on it so I had to build the box by guessing, and it kind of sounds like crap to be honest.

You're forgiven.

P.s, I thank kiki knows about these, think he had some 15's or something?

Those subs were sweet! Dual 4ohm vc and would hold no more than 500 watts. But back then, having 500w/sub was considered huge power and probably too much. I couldn't keep them in stock!

Is it sad that I'm using a Lightnight audio amp on it?

But I wanted to get a sub in my wife's car and she wouldn't let me spend very much. I got both for around $50 on ebay. I really need to build a better box.

Joe, you don't have any specs on this thing do you?

great sub.. nothing impressive for excursion, but it'll get loud, and sound good.. and it's not overly deep for mounting so it'll fit easily.
good sub for that cheap.
should last you for years.

I had a couple XTR 8's reds, not bad subs. I had some problems with the surrounds coming apart. But they were 8's and I abused them a lot.

I think those were 'suppose' to have a lifetime warranty too.

those were the very first gen of the XTR subs, after Orion went from the SX series to the XTR series.. yeah new designs.. not surprised they had a few issues right at first. Those things came out around 1992.
