Orion out of buisness ...?


Recommended Posts

So this guy that owns a kinda shady stereo shop was supposed to order me an HCCA 15, because he sold me some bunk 12s, long story short, apparently he said he couldn't order it and offer te warranty because Orion got bought out by some company in Venezuela ? I think he's full of shit. Anyone heard of this ?

This is true. Another thread was started about it earlier yesterday. They're gonna try to get Orion back to what it was in the 80s and 90s. Same company that makes the Lanzar Pro stuff I believe.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Pretty much sold the name and future rights to it. Stores will sell off current inventory and start off fresh with the redesigned orion.

Sounds promising, Hopefully they pull through, If this guy is an authorized dealer they should still honor any warranty issues.

........... From the article......

The Orion brand and product rights were sold

for an undisclosed sum.

As of February 10, MD Audio, based in Miami,

handles all Orion orders and warranties. MD

Audio is an arm of Mobile Sound out of

Venezuela, which sells Lanzar Pro car audio

amplifiers and speakers in the Latin and Central

American markets as well as the Caribbean. It

has been in the car audio business for about 25

years .

For its part, Directed divested Orion in order to

focus its energy on “car security and control”

products and window film, said VP marketing

Jim Jardin.

Directed’s parent company, DEI Holdings,

continues to own Polk Audio.

“SmartStart and connectivity of your phone is

just taking off. We lead that category and we

want to continue to lead….we have plans to

aggressively grow it and we just want to focus

on our core again,” said Jardin.

MD Audio’s financial officer Willy Lopez said the

company plans to improve the product quality

of Orion and take the brand global. “Our intent

is to restore Orion to the position it held in its

glory days in the late 80’s and early 90’s, when

it was the premier high power, dollar for power

product you could buy.”

The company plans to improve componentry

and “step it up to more power for the dollar,”

Lopez said.

MD Audio acquired all global rights to Orion, as

well as proprietary designs, existing inventory,

show cars, marketing materials and web

domains.

The company plans to keep the Lanzar Pro and

Orion brands separate, with Lanzar Pro aimed at

the Latin and Central American markets and the

Caribbean while Orion is initially aimed at the

U.S.
