Boston stopped by last week....heard it and i was blown away. no pun intended. I fell in love..im getting one for my personal car. look at other woofers ;square, triangle, etc.

 

Or...If you want to stick with "Orion" since you already have the components, get the H2...


The 12 inch goes in .66 cu. ft. and handles 2500w rms! They sound really nice, but you will need to go ported which is in 1 cu. ft. to get really nice deep bass, but you lose a bit of sound quality when you go ported. The 10 inch handles the same power, but goes in .33 cu ft sealed and .66 cu. ft ported. Can't go wrong with Boston Acoustics either though...They make really great quality equipment...I fell in love with their components. Never heard anything quite like them...Made MB Quarts sound like a joke to me

 

^^H2's like big enclosures and actually do not perform very well in sealed applications (thats not what they were designed for if you analize their ts parameters). They do sound very good in larger vented enclosures with around 1200-1500RMS (they dont need 2500 watts and will not take it very long...ask me how I know ) Out of all my SPL subs H2's are by far my favorite for the price. Also not very heavy for the actual size of the sub. For the price though you can pick them up for now they are one hell of a sub.

 

Yeah...That's why I posted they sound better in the ported, but they do sound well with 2500w rms going to it. We actually have one running off of a 2500d in a 1 cu. ft ported box as a daily driver hitting 146.5 db and it's holding up and sounds great! The sealed boxes I agree don't sound all that well. This is the first sub I prefer ported over sealed with as well as the JL Audio W&'s. In any event, generally speaking though on the sub, if I was personally running one, I'd only run about 1500w in the bigger box because I like a bit more range with my music and not just pounding one frequency really hard. SO I agree with you on the bigger box there
