Orion CO104S

I ordered this sub with a slot ported box and a 400 watt amp. This system sounds amazing. The bass is clear and pretty loud. The best part I like about it is that it doesn't rattle anything. Just good clear bass. I just cant believe I got that system for $170. Sonic is da shizzz!!!!

My current set up consists of two of these in a small .60 cu truck box in my older F250 pickup. In the beginning I had them running off a Lanzar 800 watt amp and they sounded very nice for such low power usage. But now, let me tell you, these subs are marathon runners and can handle being run off a much much larger amp such as the Orion HCCA-2400 which I have them connected too currently. The gain is set at about 25% as I was being cautious not to blow the cones off them and I have to say, they hit very hard and draw alot of attention. Soon I will be adding 2 more of these subs in a 4x10 truck box instead of the 2x10 I am currently running. Once there are 4 in there, I'll be wiring them up to run at 1 ohm.

I installed 2 in their own small sealed enclosure which is about .8 cubic feet, each, in my brother's vehicle. He has used them for a good while now and its safe to say that they are fully broken in. They are each getting about 150 watts RMS off of a rather power hungry 2 channel amp in stereo mode and they sound rather nice. They don't play really low, but they are entry level 10's so that is to be expected. They are comparable to other entry level name brands out there like kicker c104, RF P1's, MTX 4510's etc. all of which I've personally heard and installed. Its purely a matter of personal preference.
These Orions do well in small sealed enclosures, although I haven't put them in a ported one. But why mess with something that works well enough? No, you will not win any SPL contests, but they do get loud for 200 watt speakers. I do recommend these, but the only thing I wish they had as an option was a DVC model. OH WELL!

The rubber ring leading to the cone keeps ripping!!! This is my 3rd speaker, sound not very durable every 3 months got to get a new one!!

I have this sub in a box way smaller than it should be in, and it still rattles my single cab toyota nearly to death on every note. That being said, I think I'm putting around 250-350 watts rms to it, as my amp is rated 500rms at 4 ohms, and I set the gain at a volume of 35 for 200 watts, but I occasionally go to 50, and it hasn't skipped a beat, no voice coil smell or heat, and it pounds. Even before I got my new amplifier and was only putting 200 watts rms to it it sounded great, just not quite enough for me. That being said, I am going to make a better box for this, and put it into my sister's car, while I can get a woofer I can throw the full 800 watts rms at, but I have recommended this subwoofer to all my friends, it's a great buy, and it's a good name brand to boot!
