I have a pair of Orion HP12s sealed in 1.2 cubes per chamber powered by a JBL 1201.1 II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2ohms and one of my Orions tore the surround recently and I'm trying to decide whether to get a replacement HP12 or upgrade. The Orions hit hard and clean. However I may upgrade if I could find an efficient pair of subs that could get louder and sound clean. The poll options are what I'm trying to decide between.

Oh dear god. Not this isht again.

have you read past topics to see if you can find your own solution?that has been done a million times,

this is a great place to read and learn from the current and past topics.

no one minds helping and thats what we do, but you have to tell us more then that.

what kinda muic do you like.. what are you goals...

Either of these should give me the results I want. I need need help choosing one of the options. I want a pair of subs that'll get loud and sound clean with my amp. I like alot of types of music. I listen to stuff from bass CDs to rap to metal to rock to alternative ect. The Orions got loud and sounded clean but I know there's subs out that that could get louder with my amp and also sound good. To me my old W3D4 12s sealed with 500 watts sounded kick ass. They got loud and sounded musical while doing it. Not as loud as the Orions with the 1100 watts but do you get the idea of what I like now?

im an fi fan, i have had orions i have had jl's i have had dimonds fi sounds better to be... have you looked at the Q's or the ssd's?

I voted RL-i 10 (not knowing the goals or budget or space ) because they get over shadowed by the RL-i 8.

i really like the rl-i's in this situation. i love my rl-i8 to no end. it's a bad ass little beast.

the above mentioned q's and ssd's should also get looked at, as well as the new SI bm's and teh forum's own ICONs. the ICON 12 i have is loud, clear and oh so low!!

sorry if that didn't help, lol. what kind of budget and space do you have to work with? that'll help narrow it down.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What I want is a pair of subs and my amp would underpower a pair of SSDs and it definitely isn't enough to power a pair of Qs.

So do you all agree that the RL-i 10s ported would get louder than my previous Orion HP 12s sealed and also sound good?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

How would a single Icon 15 or RL-p 15 sound in 3 cubes vented? Would that sound clean? I can do up to 3 cubes.

Both would do well in 3.0.

Would 3 cubes sound clean and hit nice and low with either and what should it be tuned to? Which of those subs to choose?

No it wouldn't...

RL-p 15

SSA Icon 15

Fi Audio Q15

Treo SSI 15

Tc Sounds TC3000/Audio Pulse Axis 15 would sound tasty as well!

I think you would be happy with a Q, however i have only had experience with a Q. From what I have read, the Icon and RL-P are also very capable subs for what you want. I am not familiar enough with Treo to say anything about their speakers or capabilities.

Either way you look at it, i think you will get a quality product and great sounding speaker

I would do a poll to see which 15 people on here think would be louder but some people on here told me they'de kill me if I did another poll, lol j/p.
