Taramp is a Brazillian company. I don't know if they build their own amps on site or China but they are pretty good amps for the $$$!

Beautiful work here!!!

You are right. They are made in Brazil. That's one of the things that make them stand out and attracts people. For the money, they are pretty good. I just don't like the ones with the fans. The fans are pretty loud.

I haven't been into car audio for a long time, but way back in the day, Orion made some killer subs. A friend had a pair of 15's that blew your hair back, and they even sounded really crisp for 15's.

I had an Orion 10" in a dual chamber ported box that sounded AMAZING!!! One of the best boxes I've ever owned. That thing DUG DEEP for a 10"!!!

Not to revive this thread. But, the sub/amp combo boxes have come a long way in the last 10 years.

In high school I had 2 12” JL low profile subs behind the seat of my truck. Now, I just have a little 10” Rockford fosgate all in one unit in my Civic. Thing hits HARD… I was expecting just a little extra thump, but i actually needed to turn it down quite a bit. Something that I almost overlooked and I bet a lot of people would overlook as well since they were pretty lackluster a decade ago. Stupid easy to install and it has the LOC built into the box, so I was able to retain my factory radio without any extra wiring.

They’re pretty affordable too. I think I paid like $380 for it… which is pretty cheap considering it has everything. Not nearly as full and boomy as an actual setup with a ported box. But more then enough for a stock sound system or someone on a budget.

I had cars with multiple subs in them. Now I'm down to one shallow mount 10" Kicker L7. It hits harder than I need. I'm over the big boom now, but my kids are into now. I really enjoy building their systems. I wish I had a system like theirs when I was a teen.
