Just a true amplifier with a single potentiometer for gain and that's it.
The HCCA 250 for example was rated at 2x50 into 4 ohm, but load that sucker down to 1 ohm mono(if you had the module) or .5 ohm stereo and she made appx. 800 RMS and sounded good while doing it.
The HCCA amps were always sweet no matter what gen it was, until DEI bought A/D/S and killed a legend when they shut down the Orion build house in Tempe Arizona and discontinued the HCCA line for China built D class amps.
Sorry for the rant but it just isn't like it used to be. |
YES YES YES!!! someone who understands it! I am a o/s orion freak. a/d/s/t knew what they were doing with orion, ppi, and a/d/s. I currently have 2 275R's, 1 12" hcca (can't find a second someone let me know if you've got one!!) 4 6s hcca components and a 425HCCA. For a system that says it's gonna do 400wRMS total, haha, it eats 260amps. Great company, great ideals, and they are the only reason i'm actually on a canadian post - lookin for HCCA's and I found one from this site looking for another!
later guys |

way to go NEWB!!!
p.s. let me know if you want to sell them...lol | Hehe, they would be for sale... at the right price.
And yes, they came from who Sux guessed. I've heard of one more in Canada, and I know there are a few in the US, UK, and Japan. Not a lot tho I imagine.
S/N is 0010110 on one, the other has none. I'm guessing there were only a few hundred of these made at the most, and most are in a warehouse somewhere in Japan. | |

| ^ A few years ago someone from Red Deer posted pics of an SPL truck with two of those in the back. Whether these are the same 2 I have no idea - I dunno if the previous owner picked them up new or used.

| ^ The 260sD had the same board as the Punch30hd. I agree though, those first gen connectors were rotten to use.
