Blown Orion H2, what should I replace it with?

I think I hurt my Orion H2. I think the voice coil is rubbing. Since the H2 is no longer made, and I can't readily find a replacement, I was wondering what comparable speakers exist. I have an orion D2400 amp, and I will probably be placing the sub in a bandpass box. I want something that is really close to as loud as the H2. I generally play 90s era bass music on the system. Any recommendations (Along with price) would be appreciated.

Audiopulse Axis 12, Audiopulse.com. Contact Mike at Exigeaudio.com for better prices.

Also bandpass boxes are not the way to go. You can save space and get a much better sound off a ported box. I would build a 2cuft box tuned to 32hz for the 12.

I guess I could consider a basic ported box. I'll be ripping up the box anyway. If I do a ported box I'll probably need to stick with a sub that is less than 9" deep. I did check out the AudioPulse Axis 12 and that does seem pretty much like the H2.

Any other suggestions?

I'll post the pics later. I took apart the sub, and the voice coil had come apart. Heat had damaged and warped the Aluminun former. I really thought I didn't actually have the power to damage that sub.
I have an orion D2400. I'm running only one sub. My goal is to have really solid 30 to 60 Hz bass for old school street bass music. I have no interest in audio competition.

Jamon,

If you killed an Orion H2 12" w/ a D2400, you were clipping the F#CK out of that amp.
What ever sub you get next, turn that gain/bass boost down! You may also want to look into a pair of 10's, maybe Fi SSd's.

Forget the bandpass box, go w/ a nice ported box tuned low.

As for a comparable sub. And RE SX on that amp would be a good match.

well considering the d2400 only does 1200 watts i don't think you have the power for an axis and they only make the revo in dual 2 so I would probably go with an incriminator audio death penalty. you can find them on www.soundsolutionsaudio.com
