July 7, 200718 yr I don't know if anybody remembers, but Orion a really big speaker back in the day. I can't remember how big it was but let's say the jackhammer wasn't really the biggest, baddest sub ever made. I think audiobahn made one that was like 38in( special order of course) that handled 10,000 watts. To think everybody shouts jackhammer and larger subs have been produced. Anybody know whether these subs are still being made or maybe someone that has them wants to sell them. The guy who had the Orions drove a hearse.I don't remember Orion ever making anything really big. Clarion made a 32" sub. It was a total gimmick and struggled to mantin its composure on a paltry 300w but it would go LOW. A shop in my hometown got ahold of one and had it in a proper sized sealed box in the display room. The box was about the size of a refrigerator and they had it on casters so they could move it around. It was able to hit the resonant freq of their suspended ceiling. Knocked out all the tiles around it. Kinda funny to watch.
July 8, 200718 yr I would love to see that. Of course everything now is made for job security. I remember how good things used to sound years ago when I was young. It seems like you have to spend thousands now.

They might still have the clarion , I never saw it used. But I did see the audiobling fold the cone with 500w in a 10 cuft sealed enclosure.
July 15, 200718 yr PPI Flat Pistons, IDW's & IDSPL'sthis guy has it figured out.... all of these were very very nice subs:) I wish i woulda never gotten rid of my ID SPLsMight throw in the IDmax v2s (I liked them better than v3)
July 16, 200718 yr Boy all this talk about the older Eclipse Aluminums (I have an 8122.4) and the round solos(currently have 3 12"'s sitting in my basement, 2 8-ohms and 1 4-ohm) is making me reconsider my decision to potentially go a new direction with maybe an RLi-10. TC-7 10 or TC-1000 10. If only any of my afformentioned subs were able to provide the 2 ohm load that my new amp (PPI Pro-650) requires to provide 400 watts at the sub channel.
