Can do the crossfire 3k

BigDWiz Crazy question, but are there any videos of two amps strapped on a dyno? Is that even possible?

BigDWiz I have two soundqubed 18" subwoofer rms 1500 watts would u suggest get 2 hcca 3000.1 r 5000.1 really need ur help love ur videos

This Amp has more watt than my cooking oven

do you have any info on the Boland audio amp dyno and interview?

It sucks the Orion splx3000.1 for the pass couple years isn’t the same one as Big d wiz tested if you look at the internals they aren’t nearly as beefy prolly realized how much power they was really making and redid it.

How decent are they now?

Got an audio stalker

1 out of every 10 comments would actually contain some thoughtful, insightful information...but the other 9 were like...painful

Thank God,he/she is on every audio channel being so Damn negative for no reason

bye felicia *door slam*

Lol

well, this comment didn't age well LOL

@@andrewlewis5251 sure it did sundown had to completely revamp their amps double their power and they still cost double to triple in some cases still they just dont compare even after the revamp sundown for the loss

imagine if orion pulled a sundown move we'd get a twenty thousand watt amp for 1200$ killin the game

Man if everyone thought like you, this shitty world would be a better place! Cheers homie! 🍻

They have changed owners over the years, but it appears the new Orion means serious bidness👈😲

They use to call them onion amps back in the day because of the distinct smell they use to put out. Orion has been my amp of choice since the mid 80's ever since seeing an exhibition build at the sound off competition at Devonshire Downs, San Fernando, CA. It was the first time i had seen a windshield get smashed by a sound system. This guy had 10,000 watts pushing 10 or 12, 12" Cerwin Vegas in a walled mini van. In the 80's the only way to get 10,000 watts was to use a shit load of smaller amps. In this case there had to have been at least 14 amps attached to a wall at the rear. All true class A 2 channel amps if I remember right. They got hot as hell and smelled like onions. I've have used plenty of other amps over the years, Hollywood Sound Labs (under rated and not well known) , PPI, ADS, Rockford Fosgate to name a few but I have always liked running Orion's for the bottom end. I still run an old school black XTR PRO 2400 2 ohm class D mono block (rare) in my Explorer. It's my understanding that Orion only made this amp for 1 year before replacing it with the red 2500 1 ohm stable version so you don't see to many of them around. It's been about 10 years now and it is still going strong. Even though it is rated at 2 ohms I have had no problems running it at 1 ohm except for the demand for current it puts on the charging system. It's good to see Orion come back to life with it's new owners. They kind of got lost there for a while and I thought I was going to have to wright them off as another great small company turned huge corporate producer of crap like so many other brands of the 80's and 90's. Orion has a good business plan I think. They have like two completely different divisions. One is straight forward consumer grade Chinese "made for the masses" nothing special type shit you find at Wall Mart and then they have the other division dedicated to making car audio that is actually worth putting in your car. If I needed to replace my current system this amp would be on my short list of candidates. The price to power ratio of this amp is top tier.

They did sell out to DEI , but someone brought them back hard !!!!!!!!!!!!yeh boy

Oh they def sold out. That hcca is an oldie

"Car wars" is what the locals called it here. I won a bunch of them with 2 of those amps

this is what happens automatically when they build their stuff in those countries. maybe not so much in korea but in china the gov takes all of the blueprints and makes their own stuff. they don't care about copyrights, patents or trademarks. what's really a scary thought is boeing and northrop grumman build all of their controls and electronics for fighter jets and other weapon systems in china

From my understanding Orion and Rockford has their own build house and manufacturing. Unlike other brands that copy 🐈 their products from one another. I have not seen any copy cat amp boards like Orion or Rockford on the market.

@@danielhillwick8430 rockford may not be copykatting but for how much they sell for still not worth it rockford wasnt even in the running or mentioned cause they are a rip off just like jl audio

You da man!! Congrats brother 👌😎👍

Big congrats out to you, man!!!

Congrats!

YOU BIGG DUMMY!....(ya kno i hadta!) - haha, CongratZ!

Congrats dude!!

👌😬👍

The 17k HCCA is their largest amp. I would need another 10-12 batteries to power that beast though...

Orion dyno'd the 17k. It does crazy numbers as well.

That's insane. What's the max the dyno will take? You need another channel for PA amps. Let's see what one of those Powersoft K20s does.

@@whithutchinson6895 for PA Amps the dyno Is too small only 2500w 8 ohm

Not me, it’s the amp. It’s like the Energizer bunny. Just keeps going and going and going...

@@wal we won't know unless you shoot the video with an amazing battery supply!

Jeremy Moore nooooooo "he wasn't ready"

As long as you can feed the Orion what it wants (current and a lot of it) it will stay out of protect mode. The fan may come on though. They also like to see 4 volts or more at the inputs. Ive had problems running them with 2 volt RCA's at high volume.

Thanks for keeping it family friendly. I’m big on that 🤙

its amazing

@@wal Gadzooks lol 😇

Best of luck to ya brother!

Congrats man. Good luck with it.

Where at in Nashville are you

I live 20 min north of Nashville like to check out your shop

I'm selling mine for a decent price

👈🤣 I kept it clean on camera, but I almost peed myself 😜

Same here! I would have loved to see how long the amp could maintain that. When I watch these tests, I have often thought it would be cool to measure the operating temperature as well.

@@danabarnes4751 I was really hoping he'd touch it and give us a measure of how warm it was. Then again, it might not heat up that much off a quick burp.

Mine too 😲

👈😊👍

Thanks for watching and commenting!

I wish u would do the Orion xtr4000.1d . i wonder what it is done in actual power output.

👌😬👍

He’s the reason they can’t stay in stock and why they hold they’re a value

👌😬👍

Competition is good for the industry. My tests are not rigged, but you guys already knew that. I do these tests for you guys, the companies can benefit if their amps do well, but I don't care one way or the other. I just have fun testing and making the vids. Da truf will see U free...

BigDWiz we all appreciate what you do. Keep up the great work!!

Somebody pleeeease make a meme of BigDwiz slapping JP like in the vids baahahahahaha

My question is, then why the countless videos i see in youtube are most with crescendo and sundown amps?

kevin auman with the "you big dummy" tag

50,000w 😂

The 5000.1 turned out to be a dud. 😪

What year did you buy yours?

Orion brought the AAAAAAAA game way to go

i can hear the team orion amp repair guys from here. lol

there is a sundown fan boy now lmao

Lmao

The sun went down on them lol

Thanks bro 👌

I have to four mojo 615s looking for something to push them with gonna stay between 12 to 15 volts

If you buy it, the subs will come... Seriously we should all just buy one and then go from there with our builds. These things give off so much powwwwa! It doesnt matter what subs you get, they will be jumpin out da box! Doesnt matter if you rise to 1.5 or 2 ohm, they still will be slammin! Only real problem is we all just added at least a grand to the total build bill for all the extra electrical. I mean 1000 amps plus!! FUQ me shit just got real. We all need to invest in some lead and copper cuz these beauties with the tripple power and ground inputs just made 6 runs of 1/0 and 4 group 31 agms standard. Mr Singer and Mechman arent going to be able to keep up.

Scott Weakley more like add an extra 5k for electrical

Me too

Nope it was on 1 ohm

Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙

I wish they made a 1kW version as I don’t need this much power

BigDWiz turn the gain down or run it at 4 ohms , this thing is a beast ! 😂🤣. You big dummy !!! 😂 but of course you already know that !

@@JP-or1jb I used to love orion...ran hcca back in 2000. Now you couldn't pay me to take it.....I watched how the owner talks to people. Calling them liars when they have an issue ect. There's a reason I run dc audio now.

Thanks for watching and commenting 👌

Or is it 8,000?

so how much will a 8k hcca give me? any suggestions on how many batteries i need and kind of amp i have 2 15" 154 blk coil series

Lots of batteries

Thanks for watching and commenting 👌

Do u know the model number to this amp

Micheal Robinson Orion HCCA 3000.1 D SPLX

Thanks man!

How exactly? If you use a current/volt/watt calculator, it adds up based on current pulled from the fluke/multimeter

@@VictorEstrada You don't get what he means. Back in the 80s-90s, competitions were classified by power classes. Orion and most other higher end brands offered "25W" amps... at 4Ohm, that would operate at .25 Ohm and make 500-1kW, depending on the brand/ model. They were called "cheater" amps, and, Orion was one of the kings of 1/4 Ohm- 1/2 Ohm world, as was Soundstream (Reference series would run wired .25 Ohm), US amps, Linear Power, and several others.

Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Tommy Gun required 😬

@@wal on a serious side I think your hot rod is pretty dope what engine is that it sounds different than anything I recognize

Thanks brother! It's a Ford 302, honestly not sure about any upgrades. I got it from an old guy who had 8 other hot/rat rods and I don't think he kept the best records on what each car had. It currently has Triple Deuces and WAY too much carb for the motor. I'm going single 4B carb soon, then some more updates. Will be a fun project...

I would’ve never guessed this high either

I would’ve guessed around 10k myself

(8) 14 volt batteries primary and (8) banks of Supercaps (backup)
