Dont have a lot of experience with them, But you can look into Kicker L7 12s they take a beating and get really loud.

From the looks of the orions, I think they require a huge box. If U have the room for it, There is only one way to find out.Check out the orion challenge on their website.

What kind of problems did you have, They have put much research into these woofers, and made many many improvements. IMHO L7 for the money is better than any other woofer in its price point.

The Orions are pricy for what you get. They take a ton of power to get moving, need big boxes. Not bad, but we sell them and I won't even consider them.

200 watts?

i know my memphis car is pretty loud and rather cost effective. I am running all power reference series. I dont know how loud you wanna get but i beat the heck out of them and they are doing well. I am running 1000 watts to four 12'' PR subs.... in a trunk car and a sealed box i hit over 148

200 watts is the reason they will blow. You can blow a woofer easier with not enough power than you can with to much. You dont know if it was clean power unless you scoped it. ANd with 200 watts Im sure you had to turn it up quite a ways just so they would sound halfway loud. Which would in turn be clipping the signal and killing your woofers.

musta been some distortion for sure, ive owned many of the kicker woofers comp cvrs L7's all of which would take a pounding my cvrs took about 3k to the pair playing music with some clip for over 3 minutes before they went and they were throwin.......(I was trying to break them BTW)

hay check this guy out he has kickers 290 a pair shipped to u i think 10s but it will save u some money and give u a good subs.Think about it u can get 4 10s cheaper than them 12s and have better speakers man.the more u buy the cheaper they get so if u were 2 get 4 they might be less.
