The Orion XTR 12" Subwoofer Review!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Sorry the video is a day late! We got hit pretty bad by the storm and just got internet back last night. Very blessed tho compared to so many around us. A lot of devastation up here in the NC mountains

[@chrisnunya7171]

I'm still without internet up here in Southern Ohio. I can't stand watching videos on my phone, so I have to "hotspot" my television to watch anything!

[@BigDuley]

I'm glad you're ok. And I wish the best for everyone in your area

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

@@BigDuley thanks man!!

[@BigDuley]

@@ParkerTheBasshead no problem brother

[@z1berzerker]

@@ParkerTheBasshead I have family 👪 in Mariana and Tampa. By the grace ✨ of the big guy in the sky, they only lost a facia board off 1 home 🏡 Hope all your days are Blessed 🙌 Buddy

[@BigJeffAudio]

Another Great Review.. I Think If We Can See 100 Orion Comments on here, Then Big Jeff And Orion Could Get Parker One Of The HCCA Subs.

[@Valverde713]

Hell yeah can we see one of Orion's newer HCCA amps with it? 😁

[@williamtoth6186]

Would love to see Parker review the hcca

[@barryhawkins6591]

Wish he could do the hcca splx 15s I have 2 on a splx 12,500.1 man they are awesome

[@OrionCarAudioOfficial]

Definitely! Let's make it happen. We want to see 100 Orion comments

[@cristovalmontoya5222]

Atkeast send the hcca spl 5k

[@randybaltimore4605]

I loved my xtr s ...had 2 in a custom box on a md1800 taramps...hit 145 easy...played down to 28hz........great video !!

[@thadapperpenguin9759]

If you end up getting the hcca get the hcca splx its the biggest sub they have

[@RomaVilla]

That sub is around 2 grand

[@OrionCarAudioOfficial]

Let’s see those comments, everyone! Big Jeff and Orion could provide an HCCA for review. Also, great video, Parker!

[@benjaminwest6277]

Finally some Orion subwoofers. You got to get the HCCA 12 next. I run 2 of them in my truck on a 5k. They out perform most dual 15 setups.

[@MattSnider-b5z]

Orion kicks major ass!!!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Hopefully I can get one!

[@AJOSUE]

@@ParkerTheBasshead they have the xtr pro back in stock

[@Valverde713]

Im a running a single HCCA 12 on a 5k

[@MattSnider-b5z]

@Valverde713 I bet it's still going strong too! Your rearview mirror will never forgive you 😆

[@jefftraster3357]

I started with the old school Orions they banged in the 90s on my earthquake shredder amp

[@Skarfar90]

I have a 15" HCCA myself. One of the older Black Coil series subs. But what a beast. 4" coil, 2500w RMS and despite what it might look like, it has great sound quality.

[@chris9202011]

Loved my 1990’s Orion 2NT’s 🔊🔊🔊🔊

[@owenwestervelt5593]

My buddy runs 2nt 15s on the xtr2250 aka the beast!!

[@themonkster333]

My first Orion, then I went HCCA and had it for 24yrs and now the huge HCCA just got dropped in and waiting for the SALT 2 to really run power to it.

[@jamesvarner758]

I'd love to see a hcca test. Love the real world scenarios that Parker puts stuff through! Keep up the great vids Parker!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I appreciate it man!!

[@JasonWW2000]

I really hope the big sub is going to be the Deaf Bonce 32" behemoth. I kinda doubt it, but it sure would be fun to see. Lol. Take care.

[@z1berzerker]

@@JasonWW2000 👍

[@randomtube8226]

I'm sure if he can get enough subscribers one day I can see it happening 😂

[@less5406]

I was living in Phoenix when the original XTR 12" sub came out. Got to see the demo van with 4 of them in 6th order boxes. Holy hell that thing pounded. Wanted to buy some so bad but was only working part time at 5 bucks an hour. Times sure have changed.

[@HillbillyRefrigeration]

I was worried about you!! glad you’re OK

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir very blessed! Maybe people around us lost homes/cars and even some fatalities

[@evilinside5984]

@ParkerTheBasshead- I really like that you have, & are using the Bass Head Garage Watt Meter. Great point about if you had a 600 watt @ 1 ohm amp, wired to 1 ohm, but with impedance changing while a speaker is playing, its normal to see 4x the impedance= approx. 1/4 power, or as you said 150 to 200 watts.

[@jaylonsanchez9873]

I have this sub! So cool to see you review it. It’s a nice sounding sub, great for SQ (sound quality). I’ve tried playing it while on the road for over 5 hours straight non stop bumping and ended blowing my amp🤣. This sub can handle the power, might get smelly but can handle it!

[@newyorkerturbo]

Mine also starts to smell weird when I play it loud for a while and it freaks me out.😳

[@Valverde713]

Ive been running my HCCA 12 in my daily since i got it back around 2010. No joke the subs outlasted multiple vehicles ive owned!!

[@donaldhastyjr4066]

Glad you made it through the storms! Anything HCCA is a winner, not a wiener, in my book! Orion does have some junk, but I still run one of their Cobalt amps and have it on an older Rockford Fosgate 8 inch in a Bazooka tube, not breaking any glass, but for what I listen to, it's good. Big Jeff has some fantastic deals!! And let's see an HCCA sub on here!

[@mrthomas6911]

Back in the days I had a orion xtr 10 on a old punch 1000 in a scion tc..everyone thought it was 12's. That thang use to hit hard!

[@adampaffrath4299]

Glad to see you and hifi vector doing Orion reviews , I love them and glad they are on the rise of a comeback. Also would love to see you review one of the new down4sound subs !!! Let’s go buddy ! 🔉🔈🔉🔊

[@weeduck9579]

love seeing the wattmeter installed over the "other" device......

[@vincyreddragon1895]

Just lastnight I was saying why have I not seen orion on parkers channel 😅 and am so happy for this review 💯👌

[@brianhardemon561]

Pretty tough low budget sub. Sounded good too especially for the price. Great video my guy. BASS ON

[@scottbe1]

I would love to see the HCCA sub. Big Jeff hook him up!!!

[@foodforthought872]

Hey Parker. How about a BUDGET shoot out between (12 IN CROSSFIRE C3 VS 12 IN ORION XTR) 😁

[@bishbosh7728]

My brother had 2 of these back in the early 2000s in fourth order band pass box and for back then they were loud he had them running on a rockford power 1000. He ran those for a few years then got a 10w7 that he is still running today it has been rebuilt several times so still hits hard as hell for a single 10.

[@dannyphantom5201]

The soloX ofc! Been waiting to see what you can do w it. Got a 15in myself and it's crazy

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

You might be on to something 😎🔊

[@franklinwalker9606]

I like it.. great durability. Please bring this monster hcca line

[@TheBestOrion]

HCCA for the win! Ive always loved the look and prestige of those subs. Couldnt imagine why...

[@evilinside5984]

@ParkerTheBasshead- I think this should have been Orion's Cobalt subwoofer, & wish they would have made a beefier XTR subwoofer, to match there XTR 2500.1 amplifier. Like a 1,250 watt R.M.S. XTR 12", so a XTR 2500.1 would have been a great match for a pair. Great video parker.

[@jvcjbl]

1.33cu. ft. empty.... man, I bet it would sound so much better all around in a proper sized box. Cheers, excellent video! HCCA SPLX would be my guess, unless you got the giant 33" giant from B2 Audio?

[@educated_guess]

Let's Go! Can't wait to see Orion HCCA SPLX, not just regular Orion HCCA.

[@rustybrown9829]

Glad you and yours made it through the storm. Thanks for the video, and yes the big Orion would be a awesome video to see as well.

[@jvsyoutube3298]

orion seems to still keep up, even tho those "max watts" shouldnt even be printed on the sub. But hey, as long as it sells, manufacturers are gonna keep doing it.

[@TheSara200424]

I would love to see the HCCA compared to a sundown v6

[@vicecity3993]

Yes !! hCCA!!! Yes!!! Put it through the stress test and how loud it gets in the kick DB!!!

[@brockmarquis8511]

Really really want to see how the XTR PRO does frfr yo. We kind of got a good idea how the HCCA does and I've seen it in the past but nobody is ever really done anything on the XTR pro seems like a very promising sub

[@joshmoore8743]

I grabbed one 2nd hand for 50 bucks and put it on my Samsung home theater. As little power as it gets, it sure sounds amazing in a 20 dollar ported Amazon prefab box.

[@NoPainNoGain___]

Had 2 of these in a custom box for a year before upgrading and they slammed hard for the price, decent on the lows but played extremely good on the 40hz range and up.These would be good for someone who like a sealed enclosure and want more of a SQ build.

[@jesseburtlow9858]

Big Jeff audio is great, best people I've ever dealt with. And I love watching your videos. Keep the amazing content coming, and glad you're ok, I heard it was pretty intense storms

[@caughtafaygo]

Orion is nostalgic for me and i loved em from the 90s. Never had any

[@cristovalmontoya5222]

Try the skar box to see if the numbers go up ?

[@traviskline1893]

I would love to see a hcca, I still have my old school black coil 12 dual 2 ohm.

[@Tjcin513]

Man I want rhe xtr pros with the same mounting ring as the hcca

[@elliotthrelkeld6287]

Lets see the orion hcca 15"

[@randybaltimore4605]

I loved my xtr122d4...built a box solid CLEAN bass..keep it up kid !!!👊

[@juanroque4452]

Great entry level subwoofer

[@EnejKokelj]

I would love to see the HCCA subs

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

💪🏼🔊

[@EnejKokelj]

Maybe a Ground Zero Sub

[@playerongaming]

Yes I remember those days where these subs are rocking in market but I also heard some complaint about these subs like these are getting very hot very easily whenever lows + heavy bass tracks are played on these ORION SUBS. But those days are memories.

[@NoPainNoGain___]

Had 2 in a custom box feeding them just 600 watts each on a DC Audio 1.2k and and barely got hot when playing them full tilt.Very good budget subs in my book.

[@playerongaming]

@@NoPainNoGain___ yes

[@joeanderson9505]

Will you please review resilient sounds products preferably 15” gold v2s thanks

[@joeanderson9505]

The v2s are conservatively rated at 1500 watts They are really a beast of a speaker and good products for the price 379.00 on their website!! And can compete with sundowns top products

[@joeanderson9505]

I ask you about every video you make to please review these products I guess I’ll just keep trying.

[@joeanderson9505]

Or maybe there’s a reason why you can’t review resilient sounds products if so, please let us know because for the money I believe they’re one of the best speakers out there

[@blasekaauamo756]

Hcca for the win. Hccasplx even more of a beast

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Haha the HCCA SPLX weighs more than me 😭😂

[@Mr.boxxchevy]

I just swapped out my orion xtr pro 12s for skar evl. Had em since 2011 or so they were the 1st style think only 500rms

[@joshmedrano347]

Definitely do the hcca review! Bring back orion lol!

[@nestofl12]

I had this exact sub, for 3days and i was disappointed by its performance. It sounded like plastic rattling and i triple checked that my ohms were right on the amp and sub. I had it in a very similar sized vented box as parker did. I really didn't want to return it, i love cut in lines on the dust cap. To be fair, it might have needed a bigger box to perform better but i didn't have bigger box available.

[@z1berzerker]

DS18 Troublemaker 🎉🎉🎉

[@TheGodofSEO]

Resilient Sounds Gold. We need this test

[@bubbawubba2307]

surprised you have never done a resilient sounds sub. They have some new subs coming out that are the V2 series. Be nice to see you trying them out

[@RomaVilla]

They have been out since August

[@FordGuy7933]

How would you compare the 12 inch xtr to a 12 inch soundstream t5? Love your vids.

[@thomasmiles2001]

Let’s see the big version

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Agreed 😎

[@HemiMichael]

Yes, HCCA would be awesome to see. Great video!!

[@RyanMieloszyk]

The Orion HCCA SPLX 15 we need to see as I’m looking @ purchasing soon!!!

[@mikemccabe7124]

if you get Orion to send you an Hcca sub ask for an Hcca SPLX sub its ther biggest and newest subs from the hcca lineup

[@jafeg]

Xtr 15 vs trinity e 15 vs American bass elite 15 would make a great budget video

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Good idea!

[@elite_shadower_6057]

There is also a xtrpro model to this similar to hcca

[@rustyharrison9344]

Id love to see you do the platinum series resilient sounds review.. i think youd be very impressed by the company

[@audiofracture1068]

im sad you didnt do the test tone torture test, its an Orion, it should take it at rms power. i really want to see you test the HCCA but it would be sad if you didnt torture test that one.

[@cristovalmontoya5222]

Yes I had some hcca 12s way back when they had the bronze cone I would love to see a review on the spl or spl x since that’s there big boys.

[@KMFDM781]

Love your videos man! I'd love to see you review the newest Dayton Ultimax II subs. I have a 10" for my home theater and I love it. I know they can be used in car audio as well.

[@TheRealMrRoyal]

That would be sick to see an hcca on here!!! Crazy excursion!

[@ryancharles9252]

Great video bro...keep up the good work!!!

[@fanatic26]

It sure would be nice if I could find a subwoofer review that was more than "hey heres the spl" once in a while. How hard they hit and all is fine, but for people that listen to real music and not boom boom boom 1 note rap all the time these reviews are basically pointless. I wanna know if it can keep up with a rapid double bass or how accurately is reproduces the sound of a well made 22" floor tom. Does a wicked bass line come through true and clear? Does this exist on youtube anywhere? ive yet to find that kind of info

[@hector7878]

Exactly !! I'm looking the same than you , but it seems people now just want brrr brrrr subwoofers , not real notes of musical instruments.

[@ArcadeFarmer]

Orion has been all good thru out the years

[@livinglegend9564]

Just subbed today 🙌 been watching you for a year and can honestly say I’ve learned a lot from your videos man! I love me some subwoofers I have some Audiopipes BD1’s at the moment but want to go to something more better u convinced me on the BD2’s a while back 😂😂 KEEP BASS’ing ON by the way man if u need help with anything after all the devastation let me know I stay up in Statesville NC

[@justinboone8700]

Would like to see a fair abuse test on a resilient sounds platinum subwoofer

[@joeanderson9505]

I’ve been asking for a resilient sounds review for a while now not sure why not???

[@amordeweso]

V2

[@rustyharrison9344]

Ive got 2 plat 18s.. those things are nasty.. and can def take a beating

[@jinkariya2127]

More please get that hcca 12'

[@PinkCow1]

great video! i truly appreciate these

[@SkyHolder96]

I wanna see you build a box for one and run it as a Daly for a bit and tell us what you think

[@Hammerback0]

The XTRs are affordable and not a bad sub. I’d rather see the Orion HCCA SPLX. The “big boy” sub. Seeing Orion is refreshing though, a break from the norm.

[@EBMproductions1]

Glad to see your good man

[@rizole31]

They are definitely decent ive had the 10 version in my bedroom for a few years

[@Thatloudfit]

Hcca is a beast those 18s were 🎉

[@RomaVilla]

Would definitely like to see an hcca sub on here, maybe even a new xfl v2 or a resilient sounds gold sub

[@manuelcrampton8581]

There's 2 the hcca and the hcca splx if you can do both

🎉 Big Jeff send the Orion Bro 🎉

Would like to know your test tracklist in this woofer

[@zeroshotx4082]

I had a pair of HP12D2's that beat the shit out of a lumina back in like '01 or so, hands down one of the best sets of speakers I have owned, not just in terms of vomiting SPL, but sounding great across all spans of music..... man they sounded good.

[@eversoul43]

Ask Big Jeff if there are adapters to run hcca subs inverted.

[@ericwhitter6804]

I would love to see the hcca 12

[@Donkeyno9]

One of those SPLX's would make a great review

[@Jb_06541]

I have a question what’s better 2 12” ported or sealed vs a single 15” ?

[@basstracks2427]

I want to see you test the newest Audiopipe subs. Do that, and you'll have my attention even more.

[@ResilientSounds276]

🔥 video as always brother.

[@axelastrom1246]

you should try cerwin vega vmaxx subwoofer

[@dead6last]

orion hcca or splx do a 15.. what is ur daily at the moment ?

[@joekennonmagnetizedmindz2233]

We need a xtr pro it's 300 bucks looks really good

[@petermarino8233]

I wish they would bring back the xtrpro

[@adrianalvarez6009]

Hey Parker Keep up the great work Definitely do a review on the HCCA Would be awesome Even better if you could do the SPLX....

[@airflow_concepts]

See if you can test the cerwin Vega VMAX 12 at some point.
