More info about the subs. An exact model number would be ideal.

I love the old school Fosgates as well, I had a 1000a2 which I used to power a couple 12 inch HX2's. It was a great amp.

The 800a2 is by no means "old school". However, the 45 and 80 are da bomb!

what type of orions do you have? i had the old xtr's with the dual voice coils and grey lettering in a bandpass box. i used an earthquake amp to push the 2 12's. the amp was only rated at 400 watts rms and they did the job by far. ive got an 800a2, that i use to run my audiobahn in a stealth box. im happy with that. to run 2 12's i'd say at least 200watts x2 would push them. if you want to slam them, go for a 800watt amp. other companys that make pretty good amps that are sold everywhere are MTX(not the road thunder) soundstream, alpha sonic, crossfire.......
