it looks fake ( the company logo is wrong and i couldn't find it on www.orioncaraudio.com)

yeah this looks like someone tried to copy the orion line, back when the Extreme series was out.

I just found a soundstream with the dials and switches in the same place...wonder if its fake too, or if some dude copied the soundstream and badged it orion.

I believe the packaging is correct. The logo is correct for this time period. The dip switches are correct for time period. This is an Orion crossover about 8-12 year old model. I have seen many items from Orion in the Phoenix area (Home of Orion Car Audio) in the last 20 years floating around. Many prototypes and sample products still are available here. The settings on this crossover are not the type used on cheaper Fake products. The dip switches on this crossover appear to be the same used on the Orion red HCCA amplifier line. The HCCA250, HCCA 225. Looks like the sheet metal was the same as the Orion Bridging Mod. Orion used grommets in their amps to run power wires just like the ones shown. Thanks!
