Strengths:
LOUD LOUD LOUD, extremely clean and very clear, good midbass

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
These speakers are sick! i got them for a steal, without ever hearing them first. i wasn''t sure about them until i wired them up. Damn! these things get LOUD, and stay clean at low and high levels. i am running them off of an older Harmon/Kaardon amp, and these things love the clean, real power. my subs can barely keep up now. i cannot make these distort at all. they blew away my friend''s kappas, especially at high volumes. love that 2 ohm rating and the insane crossover.

Strengths:
They do a great job of keeping up with my 2 perfects. sound quality is there, looks are great as well.

Weaknesses:
Haven't really found any, for the price I paid there is nothing even close.

Summary:
These things are awesome, short of the fact that I had to build new door panels in order to install them. Now that I'm done with that though, I am very happy cause now I have a custom look done by me of course along with some great mid-bass and high notes from the HCCA's. If it were'nt for the price I probably would not have bought the Orions simply for the fact that I hadn't ever heard them. For a $150 tho, come on, these sell for $450 down the street from me, the only problem is those guys are authorized orion and they expect you to buy them without ever hearing them (ie, they don't even stock them, you have to order em'). Great component set, I don't think they compare to those HEX's but hey, in comes that $150 price tag again. As far as a recommendation, to be honest I wouldn't buy em' for $500, ,but they are great and if I were rich who knows? I wouldn't feel right giving them a five star rating in other words. ;)

Alpine 4" (don't remember the model), Ininfinity Reference 4" and some Xplod 4"ers, none of these compare although they were all 4" 2-ways and the HCCA's are 5.25. Out of the other three the Reference hands down.
