Mike you really helped me pick out my six and a half inch door speakers because I have a sound system but it's not competition level but it's still drowns out my mids and highs thank you man I appreciate you keep doing your work.
So glad to see someone actually reviewing mid price speakers! Most of the channels speak very highly of 500$ door speakers but obviously we are not going to use those
Bro. Just put in the Orion XTR neos 6.5s. Man they are freaking loud and clear. I don't even need tweeters. The Play mids and highs well. Thanks for the review bro.
Mike in Trinidad we would say, "Mike, you real shit up." That's for asking if we are on the map. And yes, I am one of your subscribers. Hope you make the 10,000 soon.
Finally the test I've been waiting for. Orion vs Pioneer. You can definitely hear the difference between them. Thank you for taking your time Mike and doing these videos. It definitely helped me make my choice for the Orion's. And I'm definitely going to keep on watching the upcoming videos. Keep doing what you're doing Mike.👍🔈🔉🔊😖😖
Just found your vids and have watched quite a few as I was looking at the Pioneer Pro series for a full system install..Thanks for helping make an informed decsion, and for the different test you run in your vids .. You've earned a sub !! Keep up the great work 👍🏽
The other thing to consider is the speaker's DC resistance (not rated impedance, 8 ohm vs. 4 ohm). Even though both speaker may be rated nominally at 4 ohm, they may be almost a few ohms apart in which case the speaker with the lower DCR will be louder.
Yep, I'm also from Trinidad. Great video. Keep up the good work. It's rear to find someone other than yourself with so much info and testing, You save me a lot of research and Time. 👍
Just ordered A pair of these orions, it was either these or prv 500, I checked out your other videos and definetly choosing orion to pair on my taramps 800x4 with orion xtr 750 bullet tweets. Thank you for testing all of these speakers for us on a budget.
I ordered a pair of the cheaper orions cobalts with the 1.5 inch cobalt tweeters had to modify the door card mounted them flush on the outside wired them at 2ohm to my rockford p400.4 the best sounding budget pair of speakers I had ever way better than the infinity kappa I had in there in the summer gonna get 2 8inch and modify my rear deck great videos man keep it up!
Oh and one more thing. Ignore the peak wattage that's bs, go by the rms. If they don't give you the rms rule of thumb is the rms is around half the peak. Keep up the good work. I'm watching your channel more than I watch the others that I follow. You peaked my interest with this challenge and I want to see it to the end.👍
Speaking of speakers' style, each brand is different. That is, the Orion brand shows off loud and clear, while the pioneer brand listens to beautiful melodies.
I like your videos it really does help a lot of people with the confusion on which 6.5 will sound best for the money and quality. Also, everybody has different tastes in the sound choice ok. Some like crisp tweeters, others like more bass, and some with more mids. So, you and all your content make it possible to hear and see them at work side by side so, keep up the good work PS: when are you going to have some kind of giveaways that will be fire. JRT
@@acoupetroop617 I have Orion XTR 6.5Neos in my front doors and Orion XTX654s in my rear doors. 6 tweeters and they are all powered by an Orion XTR1000.4. I have done football field distance tests and they are loud and clear!
Bro I'm about to get to a Pair of those orion speakers I have 2 faital pro 10hp 1020 play solid clean mid bass the orion it sounds perfect thanks for the reviews
Love your passion for this stuff!!! I was looking for the comparison that included the Lanzar Pro OPTI6PM but I can't find your conclusion of that vid.
Greetings Mike, I congratulate you because it is clear that you are passionate about good sound quality in both car audio and pro audio, I personally appreciate your effort in time and resources to illustrate that it is better to buy according to market prices and what to expect from a product. I recently bought a pair of Pioneer TS-M800PRO midbass at a good price with which I want to replace the original midbass of a couple of old Pioneer TS-TRX800 cabinets, I want them to give me the lowest possible response and the most power in a safe area, Depending on that, Mike, could you please tell me at how many Hz do you recommend making the cut and how many Wrms can I apply? Thank you very much and congratulations
The is no free lunch in audio... just physics. You trade sensitivity for low end extension. To play 1/2 octave lower (halving the frequency) you need 4 times as much power or 4 times more moving mass (which conversely drops top end sensitivity by 6dB). Pioneer is biased for the low end while the Orion is for the top end. Frankly, there is no business playing 80Hz through a car door so generally I prefer the more sensitive gear. You want one of the loudest mids for the money? Look up the B&C 6PEV13 (rated 99dB/W out of a 6.5 inch driver). Keep in mind that is an 8-ohm speaker, not 4-ohm.
Hey i like your video's and i watch al of them, i want to ask you if you can make a video of eminence delta pro 8a and eminence beta 8a... try them and you will hear the difference 💪
I can attest to the deafbonce arnolds for sure, but i may have cheated with running 400w rms through them :) far as burningcoils go, i would make sure the gains are set with an o scope and from what your describing, could be clipping them a little bit.
The orion has lots of highs but how does it sound with a tweeter might be too much highs and distort had that happend before ,just something to consider
I have two sets of image dynamics in my wrangler up front and in the overhead pods . They sound great but the model I have it's just doesn't get loud enough for me I'm ready to upgrade
Can't wait for the Deaf Bonce Sylvester and Arnolds! So much hype surrounding them...dying to see if it's legit hype or just talk. Are you going to to any Down4Sound D4S speakers too? Made by Deaf Bonce but to D4S spec.
Hey id love to see you use the skar vx1 tweeter with the orion or the b&c. I just bought the skar tweeters and they are an improvment in clarity over my old prv 700ti tweeters. Im also using an eminence alpha 10a 10 inch mids and some cheap 10s and 8s that are similar to the full range pyramid in the videos. The eminence alpha 10a or 8a are more like the b&c speaker while the other speakers i have are more like the orion.
I can clearly hear the difference on my iPhone XR. I run Orion and love them, not that the pioneer is bad but for Same price or I believe Orion slightly less.
I told you orions were gooood i was cheking what model i have but i couldnt find the box but i know they were wery expensive 1600 wats wich i telly thing they went over the fence with that rating and mine are the slim models to but i must say i believe the magnet is bigger than the speaker
It will be way better then expensive system, most ppl doesn't think like you outside the box ) make sure you run correct crossover or multi channel receiver Like I did before ))
Can you try Genius audio slims 8 inch or 6.5. The reason I'm telling you this is because it's the same as ROCKFORD FOSGATE punch series. Exactly the same but different names. I put it on my car and it blew away the DS18' pro series I have.
How much power did you feed each speaker for this test? Also, I wonder how each speaker would sound when paired with an appropriate tweeter - I know the Orion sounds clearer, with more highs than the Pioneer, though I'm wondering if this is truly advantageous as each speaker would be paired with an accompanying tweeter or super tweeter, which would compliment the frequency range.
@@LIFEINSPEED Some times from the factory where the speakers are make the speakers can be mislabeled. Wrong sticker label put on speakers. You should not rely on a sticker. 101 for a reputable stereo installer to check the impedance on all speakers before installation. If you have two 6.5, same model, same brand one is 8ohm and the other is 4ohm. Using the same setup, same power and volume. With one will sound louder??? Providing you have tested each speaker with a DMM before installation to confirm the impedance of each speaker is correct for you testing. The speaker with the lowest impedance will draw more current and will sound lower. You might already know this information but from watching your videos, you are asking the question “quote” Why is it so loud.
The 250 rms 6x9 PRVs are 100 watts less than the 350 rms Orions 6.5 and are less sensitive at 97db vs the Orion's 99.8 db which is noticeable at being about a full 3+ db higher.

Orion sounds so clean love the videos bro 😁💯
Yep way better then legend pioneer
Can you add some sort of light that turns on indicating which speaker is playing
Great video sir keep up the good work really appreciate your videos 👍 👍 🙏
You could run both negative wires in sink then just use a 3 way toggle switch for the power wires that way you don't have to touch the wires.

What amp and how many watts RMS r u giving them speakers and any crossover, how bout some crescendos??!!

Try some dc audio mids and krome audio and b2 audio
Did you ever compare the soundstream and gravity's with the compression tweeters?

This is a flawed test. These are meant to be run with tweeters. As far as midrange go the Pioneer have more natural vocals than the Orion.
Also, speaker break-in plays a vital role in how they sound.
