Those new buggers has some huge ass magnets and are 135rms ea, I think. It was supposed to be a quick fix, but right now that setup needs a better riser. There's a gap that I don't like, but didn't have the time to let them sort out. I just wanted a budget replacement for the damaged skar woofer.
Decided to remove the skar crosses with the tweets because the Orions came with inline filters, and felt obligated to use them for some reason.
In terms of tweets, the orions are plenty harsher than the skars though.
I demo'd about 5 tweets before picking the orions.
NB1 (TOO harsh, bright and hissy, sounded like a blasted maxi)
Orion XTR dome (harsh-ish but hits some nice notes)
Nakamichi - best sounding IMO but too large to fit in factory location
Cadence - Muted. Wanted more "brightness".
(can't rem the last one)
Sound OK, but I didn't retune yet. Feel like this old van will need to get some love after I get around to my Honda install.
This is good enough to slam when I in the mood for noise.

The skars had a sensitivity of 88, these are 93 (i think). I can literally hear the difference. They actually start playing at a lower volume compared with the skar.
They are ok. I need to fix /seal them properly, no upfront bass rn. It was just a sort of plaster fix because I had literally no front stage.
Initial feedback is that they are loud and harsh compared with the comps. I def need to install them properly on risers and seal them.
It'll work as is until after I sort my Vez install, which reminds me. @kavaninho I need to give you a shout. sheit was insane on my end back at work, and the pile of equipment sitting in a corner is starting to bothering me. I have some leave coming up.
