    Orion was a big name in 1996 and 1997 when Lanzar was #1 and ORION was #2 speaker for auto stereo but now i dont know because Lanzar sold out to pyrmiad and now are kindy low .If you are still looking then look at Audiopipe Ipipe 12 they are only like 50-65 eaqch and my sister had them hookewd up to a 1000 watt amp and sounded great

    since ur a hordcore metal i would NOT suggest 15, because metal music bass are more closely together compare to rap so with 15's your subs will be skipping some bass notes. so i would say 12's or 10's. but as for orion, im not a big fan of orion

    Orion USED to be a really good name. These days its just you average run of the mill speaker. IMO 15'' speakers are not the best choice. 15's are very power hungry requiring you to have a very hefty amp to power them so they will work properly....thus often requiring you to upgrade wiring , fuses, and maybe even an alternator. I would look in to the dbl 12" Especially if you listen to metal most of the time. You will have a tighter faster more responsive bass.
