I currently have a Fosgate 1001BD pushing 2 10" HX2. I was thinking of changing my woofers.

Do you think the Alpine Type R 12's will be better?

i had the set up with the type R and the 1001bd they pounded but the hx2 will hit harder the type R will be a cleaner sound.

need more details on what your looking for; SQ? SQL? SPL? how much trunk space willing to sacrafice? price budget? etc

HX2 is a better overall sub for loudness type r is better sound quality, but a bd1001 will rape two type r 12's. I have a similar setup, with an older bd1501 and an older power HX2 12. Now that is a setup that pounds, pretty good sq when turned down too

So I have came across an Orion 225 HCCA. Should I ditch the fosgate setup and get some Orion speakers to match. Not really sure if they would compare .

Dont know too much about Orion because I have never worked with that company. But if you've already got the Fosgate subs, why go spend more money when you have subs that already work. Just a thought.

Yeah, What exactly are you looking to gain. The type Rs will give you better quality. The fosgates will give you bigger boom.

Alittle of both. I want it to sound good and have boom. Maybe I should just stick with what I have. I have always heard how great the Orion 225 was, Just thought I would try something different.

The HCCA is meant for a ported/ vented box. teh box will most likely be the same size or bigger than your 2 sub box. When i interned at a local car audio shop we did an install with the first gen HCCA. The truck had q series and an mmats amp. most retardedly loud thing i ever heard in my life. Like everyone said the rockford woudl be more for spl and teh alpine sq. its up to you. IMO they are so similar that its not worth switching. Look into eclipse aluminums or the titanium if you wants some seriosul boom or the mmats jugernaught.
