Orion HCCA17000.1DSPLX in vehicle test. Wired to 1 ohm

[@joshhanson6777]

The orion xtr's perform wonderfully also. Orion's are not priced through the roof either.

[@razorred7]

This is the type of videos I've been looking for.

[@arkaudio]

Orion, my go to audio.

[@flatdog691]

Doesn’t anyone care about clarity and listening to the music anymore at high level? I guess I miss the days of guys customizing their cars trucks and clean music coming out

[@timothyhinton5665]

They still have that sound quality stuff. But these set ups are made to get loud and low.

[@charliefrancis6438]

I have 4 15 inch hcca d4 in my car and they are the best sounding subs I have ever had , and I currently own a pair of JL audio 13 w 6 s in a manufacturer recommended box , that doesn’t hold a candle to the Orion hcca 15.4 s not only in low bass region but in mid to high punchy bass region where they are supposed to shine , Orion hcca 15.4 ( Daul four ohms coils )in a 4.05 cubic foot box turned to 36hz sounds incredible, on all music, I would recommend to anyone who wants to put in the work to build a custom box Orion has the best products.

[@chuckholmes]

don't assume he's just blaring 160db every time he's in the truck. he'd go deaf. most people who have the setups don't blare it unless some kid in a honda and 2 Power Acoustic 10's pulls up next to you or you're at a con. I myself listen to it low volume and sometimes comedy (pandora) or talk radio. after long plays of hard bass the headaches just won't go away no matter how many advil you pop.

Couldn't find any 17k amplifiers so I got 8 4500splx amplifiers working out great 👍

[@charliefrancis6438]

Awesome, i like to see them tested at 1 ohm nominal ,great power,I would love to own some of these amps,but the price on these amps has almost tripled in the past year, that’s if you can even find them, when I first was interested in these they were selling for $1850, but not now,maybe the prices will come down after they get some back in stock

[@kswis]

The hcca line is where it's at. Couldn't find one for a reasonable price so I went with synergy but still got 6.5k out of a 3.1k Big D Williston got 11k out of the hcca 3k

[@TheCustomEverythingChannel]

Thats over 80k watts if they were all hooked at full capacity holy crap what subs u running?

[@stevemaniaci4750]

Orion always had good power one my favorite amps. Awesome test

[@JoeAcosta]

50 amp Orion was my second amp back in the 90's

[@ljrand3]

Orion ftw!!!!

[@ruisoares7303]

143 db?

[@jasonneal]

143.8 with 20626 watts?

[@huhdidwhat]

That's what I'm saying, seems really low for that amount of power 😮

[@alexo9468]

Good evening, do you deliver to France?

[@kickerman938]

Only 143 Db With 18,000 watts.

[@tomigran4649]

Man, y’all are dumb as heck lol. The sounds not coming from the van, but from the two woofers in the room DUH! Geez 🙄 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@huhdidwhat]

Right? What's up with that

[@10krms8]

Try it at 12.6

[@keithhaynes9396]

How much voltage and how much electrical do I need for this amp

[@kevinanderson6513]

What type of battery are you using, to get your voltage up?

[@marcomartinez9181]

Let me know if you ever want to sell one of these amps

[@pikicustoms4628]

Will dual 2/0 female to 1/0 male amp input fit this amp ???

[@anthonydunn4613]

How do u adjust the voltage i been trying to figure out this for my build

[@nbarnes9750]

If you are referring to the supply voltage feeding the power inputs of the amp, you more than likely won't be able to. An alternators voltage output changes only slightly, while the amperage change is much more significant. Everything in the vehicle is designed to run on the 13.8 to 15.2 VOLTS DC created by the alternator, what changes is the amperage the alternator puts out...as load demands increase, the alternators internal regulator senses this and jacks up the amperage output...But the voltage change is minimal, maybe only .2 to .4 volts. This might get you a little more power from your amp, but in the overall scheme of things...it's really not much. You won't start to see a significant jump in output power until you start changing voltages by .8 to 2 volts DC, compared to 12.8 which is the minimum for a vehicle's charging system, as I said earlier...13.6...or 13.8 is much better. High performance SPL rigs usually try to use amps with unregulated power supplies and feed them with no less than 14 to 14.4 VOLTS to keep up with loads at 1 ohm or .5 ohm. In closing....get your voltage in the neighborhood of 14+ VOLTS, and you'll be solid. If you want to change the output of the amp, remote gain controls can do that. But again, you want the voltage supply to be rock solid, stable...constant. Hope this helped man....thanks for your time.

[@jasonneal]

How many amps are you pulling from the batteries?

[@rob22849]

Why do u guys refuse to dyno the amp on the dyno at 1ohm with clean signal unclipped? I seen 4ohm videos but no 1ohm vids why is that?

[@charliefrancis6438]

Real power Orion !!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@markiushankins3715]

How would they sound in a Honda 2001

[@mrbrowz1000101]

Only 100 amps drawn??

[@detonationpyrotechnics4156]

That's what I was thinking

[@K-Effect]

100 amps is what’s going from the amp to the subs, not from the battery to the amp

[@jasonlittou9395]

Ok this might be a stupid question to some but the spec sheet claims 17k at 12.6 volts and a lot more at 14.4 volts. Im just curious as to why during this test and the other test that it didn't reach those numbers?

[@0415williamj1979]

Jason Littou 20,000w is a lot more than 17,000w. Are you sure you were watching the same video?

[@Jraudio41]

Nice.

[@djndgindagruv214]

BAD ASS TEST,BRO......BEEN A FAN OF ORION SINCE THE MID-80s AND A BIG FAN OF THE GOLD AMPS THEY HAD.....DON'T KNOW IF THEY STILL DO.....BUT THIS IS ONE BAD MF AMP.....I'M PROBABLY GOING WITH AN ALL ORION SETUP THIS YEAR OR NEXT......DAMN THAT'S SOME SERIOUS WATTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Yokoboy045]

So these HCCA amps don't need fuses or do they?

[@charliefrancis6438]

Not for a burp

[@Yokoboy045]

What about 2 8Ks on 4 hcca124s daily?

[@0415williamj1979]

Only an idiot would not fuse their amplifier!

[@tammyforbes2101]

charlie francis what do you think what your playing has to do with it. Only time you don’t need a fuse is if your 100% positive you want short out the hot wire like on a bench test. You would be insane to hook up a huge 1/0 wire in your car and not fuse it that’s just asking to burn your car to the ground and or fry your amp. It’s not the amp itself that needs fused it’s the wire that feeds it. And it don’t matter what your playing weather it be a burp or music the amps power supply has nothing to do with that other then feeding the amp 9-18volts based on what voltage your running. If it’s 9 your in bad trouble and already out a battery and a alt and if it’s as high as 18 you got a hoss of an electrical system.

[@charliefrancis6438]

Yokoboy045 this was only for a test , if you know where all your wires are and they can handle the current you don’t need a fuse for s test run ,Tim Forbes, although if you plan to keep this system going for a long time you should definitely use circuit breakers or fuses, sorry for the confusion, I would never recommend someone not to fuse or circuit break there amp

[@tammyforbes2101]

Uh 143db on 18k Watts is a horrid score. Where are you measuring outside the car? I’m doing 150db on 2 DC audio LVL4 12’s on a DC 2k but it is in a tiny little Chevy Cruze but still. What am I missing here where you just testing the power and not the DB? Or did you just have like 1 sub hooked up or something.

[@chuckholmes]

i was gonna say the exact same thing. I hit 151 on 4000 watts with 2 original series DDZ10's

[@dickfantastic7908]

I used to have a single JL Audio 15w3 hooked up to a 4 channel amp, an Aura MR-4150q and I was hitting in the mid 140's with that. I think the specs on that said 375 watts.

[@nbarnes9750]

It sounds like everyone is speaking on SPL and power without taking into consideration the resonant frequency of the inside of the vehicle...which also acts as part of the enclosure. Different sized vehicles have different resonant frequencies. You can get an awful lot of SPL out of a little car, with only a moderate amount of power and a couple of reasonably capable subs ...like Tammy Forbes did. Remember...SPL IS SPL, resonant frequency only matters when you are doing Db drag, as you want to set up your build to emphasize the natural resonance of the inside of your ride. Also, I don't think this fellow was as much concerned about the SPL as he was about the input voltage to output power ratio, since these amps employ unregulated power supplies ( the more juice you feed em....the more they hammer). He also had it wired at 1 ohm mono, so he was clearly going for max output. Plus only 1 amp was running. I'm also pretty sure he had a test CD/source plugged in, as he was clearly adjusting the frequency of the burp. And he may very well have been burping at the minivans resonant frequency, but one thing is still to be considered....that last run of 20,000+ watts at 15.9 VOLTS DC...was throwing out about 200 volts at over 100 amps....at 65Hz....PEOPLE!! you can damn near run 3 clothes dryers off that...AT THE SAME TIME!!!...From a car stereo amplifier, let's remember back to the age of EQ/Boosters ( like pyramid and sparkomatic🤔🤔🤔)...amps have come a long way in 40 years. One last thing, it's a class D amp, so it's very efficient ( probably between 80 and 90 percent ) so what you get out is almost the same as what you feed it. Imagine if it was a class AB, or worse yet class A...hell....you'd need a trailer full of alternators with hydraulic drive motors to run em, just to get the rated power out. So it's doing pretty good to run a small handful of subs by itself. Thanks for your time and patience.

[@K-Effect]

The mic is not inside the vehicle during these tests, it’s just sitting on the bench. In the beginning of the video he said he wasn’t testing at his preferred frequency because he didn’t want to disturb the neighbors

[@Pro-TechServices]

you system sucks to have all the wattage and electrical and only doing 143.7. back in the 90s we hit 140 to 150 db with only 3000 wattages in astro van cadance car audio and in other builds blade audio that was from Canada but gone out of business .. you can build Rockfordfosgate and get in the 140dbs with couple of 1200 watt punch amps and 4 p3 12s in the right sub enclosure your doing something wrong.. you should be doing 155 or 160 with 18k of wattage and the cap bank at 15+ volts

[@TheMazdamn]

20k @ 107a? OMFG!

[@expertautodetail1833]

could this be current going to speakers instead of current supplying the amps?

[@ernesternest7310]

Omg!!! 143.8 Db at over 20,000 watts!!!!! > thats horrible!!!! Why would you even buy this??**** SPL should be 156 Db or higher with that battery bank and power level!!!!!

HCCA amps…. Sweet, Burp systems……Lame…

[@BenaresDarkness]

Should have did 47hz would have gotten more power plus it's a burp 2 second at Max ain't know going to say anything over 2 second so basically this was pointless
