BEWARE: MD Audio/Orion car audio equipment
Just want to warn you guys about MD Audio/Orion subwoofers and other equipment. It is of inferior quality and they do not stand behind their product. One of their 15" inch subs had a dead short in the voice coil that caused a fire in the trunk of my car. They have refused to stand behind their product, much less make any attempt to help with fixing the damages their product caused.
For the record, these are 3000w max subs being pushed by a 1600w amp. All wired correctly according to MD Audio/Orion's wiring guides. The system was professionally installed. There were no blown fuses, burnt or melted wires, and on top of all that neither the amp or bass controller were at their full power. Sub was 2 months old.
They are not honoring the warranty? I'd file a BBB complaint, cite a review in yelp, etc. Hopefully no one was hurt. I'd also leverage all this with the car insurance claim if you haven't already. Sorry to see this - that's ridiculous. Might be good to have documentation from the installer who set it up (unless you did it yourself).
Sorry to see that, I would be very upset if that was my car. I would look in to going after the shop that installed the equipment. The warranty should start there and they get a refund from the company they buy their product from. Good luck to you!
