  5. Orion HCCA 10.2 How much can they really take?

    Posted · Edited by HUMBOLDT_knock

    i wouldnt trust someone that just "saw a guy" throwin tons of power too them, but their ratings even say 1500rms is and underrating, and its got a 4" coil. I'd think 2000 to 2500 is good each, but if youve got 2 thats 5000 watts. youll need a very good electrical system in the car to get near that power.

    Ok, so Im thinking of maybe running a saz-3000 at 2 ohm, until I get my new batteries and alt. then changing to .5 ohm. I hope these things dont blow up, I guess I can always get a recone kit for them :spiteful:

  7. Electrical upgrade, what do I need?

    D3100 powermaster battery and a 250 amp alt. Most alts with true 300 amp output have pretty crappy idle output.

    Well I already have a custom made battery tray and I would like to get two D2400 to replace my optimas and still use my tray. I see that two D2400 have a higher combind Ah rating of 174 and one D3100 has a Ah rating of 117 so Im a ssuming I would be better off buying the two D2400s?

  10. Electrical upgrade, what do I need?

    ok so Im running 2) clarion 2x50 amps for mids and highs, and I will be running a new amplifier for my woofers, I think I am going to run a saz-2000 @.5ohm or maybe even a aq-3500. Everyoine says I need the proper electrical to do this so what do I need to do?

    I currently have a 140 amp alternator, stock battery under the hood, #2 going to two optimayellow tops (probably dead) ,then #1/0 to a 5 farad lanzar opticap.

    My lights would dim hard with my last amplifier at high volumes. I believe my optimas are shot so I am looking to replace them soon. I also know I need a 300amp alternator and, multiple runs of 1/0 going to my aux. batteries.

    I already have a bullet proof ground system so I think Im go there.

    So, does anyone have any input on what more I will need to do to run a true 5000 watt setup?

  15. Amp died Time for a new one, need advice

    I have 2 orion HCCA 10.2 subwoofers, I had an Earthquake PH-d2 2000w/1. I believe my subs can handle 1500w each daily, I would like to get an amplifier thats not too expensive and will put at least 1000w to each sub. Anyone have any ideas?

    I also wonder if I could run my subs at .5ohm for daily use. I realize I need to find an amp that is .5ohm stable.

    I thought about buying this hifonics and running it stereo but, both subs are in one common enclosure, will running an amp and subs in stereo screw anything up because of the common enclosure? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9356_H...V-COLOSSUS.html

    I am also considering an MMats D3500.1 and running it at .5ohm daily, any thoughts on that option??

  16. W7 Missing Some Notes

    You need to start systematically ruling each component out! I would start with the sub, get one that can handle your amp and try to replicate the problem. If it doesn't do it then you know your Sub is F'ed. I would spend money on replacing components when you dont know if they are the culprit, you can waste lots of money doing it that way.

  17. Port Air Velocity Question

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Well, I put a subsonic filter on this program and it brings my air velocity down to 152 ft/s with the filter at 30Hz.

    With the filter at 37Hz the velocity is down to 127 ft/s

    I have the 37Hz subsonic filter built into my Line driver but with my enclosure tuned to 36Hz I know I dont want to run that high of a freq. on my subsonic.

  18. Port Air Velocity Question

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    well, I am so limited in size ,im pretty much screwed. I figured that would be too much. In order to bring that down I would have to double the size of my port which would put my port length at like 40" which would be impossible for my size constraints. I hate being limited to size!

  19. Port Air Velocity Question

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    So I am using WinISD Alpha enclosure software. It shows a great output gain on my new vented enclosure verses my way too small sealed enclosure.

    I am however worried about the Air Velocity of the port. I am very limited on space so I had to only use 24 Sq. Inches of port space for my 2) Orion HCCA 10.2. They are getting 2000W between the two woofer.

    Orions dimensions called for only 18 Sq Inches so I figured 24 would be better.

    The WinISD program shows a port velocity for my vented encolsure of 187 ft/s at 35Hz. Is this too much Port velocity??

    Per Orions dimensions I get 238 ft/s of port velocity.

    Since I am much lower than the Orion design I am sure this would be better but is 187 ft/s a lot of port velocity or what? I just dont know what # is good or bad

  21. Need Slot Port Help

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by HUMBOLDT_knock

    OK, those were about the numbers I was getting with my program. I will however make my port larger. Probably go with a 2"x12" slot so that would put me a 24 sq, inches. You say 20+ for Each sub? Orion says 9 sq. inches for 1 sub at 1.2^3 so I was going to shoot for about that volume. 24 sq. inches sounds better to me, this will be one port for both woofers. do you think that will be still too small? I have very limited space so a 2" port may be as big as I can go.

    Thanks for your input.
