from PACIFIC STEREO Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 ORION XTR PRO 12 Strengths:
HARD HITTING LOW BASS THAT TRAVELS PRETTY FAR. THIS IS THE KIND OF SUB THAT WILL ANNOY ANYONE SITTING IN THE CAR NEXT TO OR IN FRONT OF YOU. I GOT MANY PEOPLE LOOKING BACK AT ME WHEN I WAS SLUMPING MY SUBS. NOT TO MENTION ALOT OF TICKETS. Weaknesses:
BLEW THESE SUBS OUT ABOUT THREE TIMES. MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GAIN CONTROLLER!!! Summary:
WHEN I FIRST PICKED UP THESE SUBS I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED. I WAS SHOPPING AROUND AT THE TIME WITH SOME KICKERS IN MIND. I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED A PAIR OF COMPETITION SERIES KICKER SUBS AND WAS PRETTY HAPPY WITH THEM. ANYHOW,THE REASON BEING FOR MY DISSAPOINTMENT WAS THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE SUBS I HAD NO IDEA THEY HAD TO BE BROKEN IN. THE SALESMAN THAT SOLD ME THE SUBS PROMISED THAT IF I WASNT HAPPY WITH THEM I COULD EXCHANGE THEM FOR ANY OTHER SUB IN THE PLACE. THE PLACE STOCKED JL, ROCKFORD FOSGATE, EARTHQUAKE, AND SOME OTHER NAME BRANDS.
WITH THAT IN MIND, I DISHED OUT $550 BUCKS FOR A 1250 WATT AMP AND THESE TWO SUBS IN A SEALED BOX, INSTALLED. WHEN MY SYSTEM WAS FINALLY INSTALLED I WAS VERY UPSET AND THOUGHT THAT ORION WAS JUST STRAIGHT LAME. I WENT BACK IN THE STORE AND TOLD THE GUY THAT SOLD ME THE SUBS THAT I DID NOT WANT THESE SORRY ASS SUBS AND MY KICKER SOLO BARIC L7'S. HE SAYS TO ME " WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DUDE YOUR CARS BEATING OUT OF CONTROL". I LAUGHED WHEN HE SAID THAT AND I JUST TOLD HIM TO GET ME MY KICKERS BY MONDAY. BEING FRIDAY AND ALL HE SAYS " OK JUST KEEP THESE SUBS OVER THE WEEKEND AND COME BACK ON MONDAY". I THOUGHT OK FAIR ENOUGH. I DROVE MY CAR HOME PLAYING SOME RAP MUSIC THAT I REMEMBER USED TO SLAM WITH MY KICKER SET UP. I WAS SO PISSED OFF AT THIS I JUST SHUT IT OFF. OCCASIONALLY THROUGH OUT THE WEEKEND I WOULD TRY TO CRANK IT UP TO THE MAX BUT IT STILL SOUNDED WEAK. MY FRIENDS KEPT SAYING THAT IT POUNDED AND THAT I WAS JUST TRIPPIN OUT. SURE ENOUGH AFTER THESE SUBS BROKE IN, THEY KICKED MY ASS. I WOULD PULL UP TO MY FRIENDS HOUSES AND THEY WOULD LITERALLY TELL ME THAT THEIR WINDOWS VIBRATED AND THAT MY SYSTEM WAS VERY VERY LOUD. AFTER HEARING THAT I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THEM. DEFINETELY A NICE HARD HITTING SUBWOOFER. AFTER HEARING THESE ORIONS (AFTER THE BREAK IN PERIOD OF COURSE) I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THEM. NOW I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE ORION H2'S ARE CAPABLE OF DOING. IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE I UPGRADE TO THESE MONSTERS. Similar Products Used:
