Like is it better to have them at 2 or 4 ohm?

@@chrispeters1020 Dam it’s been a while since I bassed . It all depends on your amp. Ohms = resistance. So the higher the ohms, the more power you need to push them. & the less ohms, the less power you’ll need. HOWEVER, some amplifiers don’t support 1ohm & can cause it to overheat & go into protection mode. These subs come in either dual 4ohm or dual 2ohm, If you get the dual 4ohm, then you can connect it in parallel & bring it down to two ohms. So you’ll have to find an amplifier that can put out 2000 + watts rms at 2ohms. For the Dual 2ohm, you can connect those in parallel & get a 1ohm load (least resistance) & find an amp that can push 2000+ watts rms at 1ohm. Hope this helps.

@@shallowtito2902 Hey man I don’t really know anything about subs. But my brother gave me his two Orion hcaa 12s and I don’t know what kind of amp I need. My friend and I hooked them up to a 2500 watt amp but the amp went into protection mode. However when only one sub is hooked up to the amp it sounds pretty good

@@clayton2500 It sounds like an ohm issue. What’s happening is that your subwoofers are connected together in what’s called (parallel), which brings the ohm load down to let’s say 1ohm for example. However your amp can only support a 2ohm minimum, so anything less will put you amp in danger. So it goes into protection mode to avoid damage. Then when you connect only 1 subwoofer, the ohm load is reduced to 2ohms, thus meeting the Amps specifications and being able to bass. The info below will teach you how to rewire the subs in what’s called (series). Unlike parallel which reduces your ohms in half, a series connection will double your ohms. 1) What you can try first is make sure the gain on your amp isn’t cranked all the way up. (Simplest & less likely) When watching these videos, pay attention to key terms : 1)SVC & DVC subwoofers 2) Your amplifier (ohms per channel & power) The number of watts you gave me is most likely max power, which is useless. RMS watts is what you look for. 3) wiring subwoofers; parallel & series. In your case you might have to connect them in series. 4) Max watts vs RMS Watts 5)make sure you know exactly what subwoofer you have. For example; the 12” Orion HCCA subwoofers comes in two different ohm ratings HCCA 122 & HCCA 124. The 12(2) stands for 2ohms & the 12(4) stands for 4 ohms. They should both be DVC (Dual Voice Coil) These links can probably help you out a bit: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/md-hYMynsqq8l4k.html m.kzfaq.info/sun/PLgSNj_wNA0j0rk71E3l9Xqy0Nmf6pN3cq images.app.goo.gl/dQ7gXpt9R6LY7yy58 Good luck & be sure to watch the videos, understand it, & then comeback and reread what I wrote. It’ll help you out big time.

thanks brother (:

thanks man! and honestly i just brutalize these subs. i really let my voltage slide and just for like 30minutes at a time and they still dont even get really warm. im more than impressed at the handling of these subs. i believe you could give a single hcca 3000rms daily as long as the power is clean and itd give u all the bass u want without fault. on the same note i believe sundowns products can hold up just as these do without a problem.

Adam84 handsdownbest. Neen slamming orion sice 80s

Adam84 sundown ftmfw

WE ARE PROUD TO BE LOUD

No shit dickhead, why would he listen to a systems that sounds distorted

ImTheToller sometimes the comments so fucking dumb you cant help it so i dont blame him😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Jeremy Arnold you feel the air displacement more when they are faced towards you. Look up walled sub builds, they are all faced towards you.

I’ve been wondering about that actually but I could never find any answers

thanks man

Never had it metered. HCCAs believe it or not sounded pretty damn good, I enjoyed them for how loud but how clean they were. Box I believe was tuned to 31.5hz

+Jose Espino Thanks, brother!

@@critixizer does the bass make music so much more fun?

lol if u can fit them there. face it forward with the port unless u can find a way to fire it upwards which i believe is the best way in a truck

They will fit for sure I had 4 12s before slamming but only lasted 8 months befor I blew subs ... what you think about face ports 2 doors one on each side???

Soon Willbe

Anthony Martinez nah dude try to keep one big port if possible and i think for the loudest for passenger side in your cab you want the port on the driver side. I like trying different/mult ports but i do believe, and ifyou look at other people's setups, that one big port is the way to go. and if you have had 4 12s id say just face them up, power them up, and fire the port up one the left or right side of the box. my boy has 2 12" rockfords on 1200rms faced up in a shitty quick box i built and his is retardedly loud for 1200rms and 12s. but if you're rocking 2 12 hccas, do about 3-4cubes, 50-60 square inch port and you'll be golden. my box is about 3.5cubes which was a little big, and the port is also a little big but i got really lucky and a lot of range out of my setup.

also; if you can do an aero port, about 8inch circumference. i promise you won't be disappointed. (also meant to add by buddy's setup is in a silverado, so a pretty big cabin, think yours is a little smaller so you should be loud as hell.

Never to much!! Its always not enough power. #TrueBassHead

No. Sold them years ago

Honestly dude I think they make pretty good SQ. My overall setup is SQ with over 20 highs and mids and 2 1200rms 4channel amps. If you give them the right box with the power to match it they will produce just about anything for a fat SPL woofer. For what they are as SPL they do make a nice sound, overall I was surprised cuz i thought orion would let me down but they did the opposite.

Soon Willbe Nice dude. Yeah I imagine you can make almost any woofer (outside of burp woofers) sound good with the right box and right power. I was jus curiuos. I'm re-building my 2-12 trunk system now. Going from 2k to 4.5k plus alllllll the extras. (Going with PSI subs this time).Lots of money and lots of time lol. Your system is good shit bruh! Keep it up. Liked

richisamindset01 nice! and thanks brother. hey make sure u post me when u get your setup going!

Soon Willbe oh for sure brotha. I'm gonna do a before and after vid. The rebuild is getting started as soon as my new subs are finished being built (hopefully next week) With all things considered we should be done in April I'm hoping. You got a vid of how you did your amps? Your car is about the same size as mine. I might have to bite an idea or two off of you lol

richisamindset01

Sorry forgot to add...what were the specs on that enclosure? Net size and tuning?

3.5 cubes at 31.5hz

Shane Hough did you have a sunroof?

@@GiDD504 i did have the system in a golf mk4 with a sunroof did sound alot louder outside.. i now have the system in a audi a3.

あなたの先輩 lol yes it ripped my roof and now it's rusting away

Soon Willbe XD

Yes Im trying to find it. Did you find the song?

Hmmm I think that's right. Just Google a dual 4 ohm to 1 ohm wire setup

Pos to pos,neg to neg. Neg from one speaker to other speaker neg then out, pos from one speaker out to other speaker pos then out

well since your a 2 ohm sub i'd recommend anything 1500+. mine are 4 ohm so i run 2 of them down at 1 ohm, in the vid they see about 2000-2500 a piece off that bcendo. depends on ur money though man, if you want to see the speaker work hard id recommend a belva bb5000 for the price she'll give you a strong 2300rms depending on your electric/voltage. but hifonics has always done fine. it's mostly the box and its setup man. like i said if you got 4-500$ get a nice 2-3k rms amp. if not, spend like 180$ get a 2k hifonics. then put it in the right box, which i can also help you with. and thanks for watching my video, always here to help (:

oh... yah the crescendo is a BEAST amp. prices went up on em but if you reallllly want all you can get out of that 2 ohm orion you got, get the crescendo 3k. think it does like 3800 @ 1 ohm and it will DEF push your sub to that max

Tim Zlack he said it in the vid

William Nixon people are so cheap nowadays they can't pay attention. ;)

Yeah he said it but can't find it :( did anybody find it yet?

Brock Franzen say grace

+grandprixxx94 Sounds like Pony by Ginuwine DJ Slow N Throw version

did you not notice the bench of amps as the back seat? lol no back seats in this car with that setup.

lol alright man. I have 2 digital design 3500 12 that will take 1500 RMS a piece.. just need to decide on a 3000 watt amp

cendo went pretty hard. i'd recommend the 3k they have unless you have money to go with something a little pricier.

I had American Bass but I'm thinking about something different this time. Wish Sundown was cheaper.

I am going from 2 American Bass Xfl 12s to 2 Sundown v5d1 12s. I was gonna get these Orions until I heard both sets in person. It was no competition. The sundowns destroyed. and the Sundown V5s can easily push 4k per 12

+vladimir hernandez what if you do? lol you'll have explosive bass if you have the power for them and the right box etc.

eai, eu tenho um e esta a venda, se tiver inteeresse, vem no meu canal.

+Sonny Hunkin lol i got rid of this setup about 1.5 years ago. but i had 2 4-channel amps. highs were plenty loud but yes the bass nearly overwhelmed the highs. =) 4 tweets 4 6x9s up front 4 tweets 4 6.5s and 2 8s in the back. and yeah was probly seeing close to 4k from the crescendo bc5500 and the 4 channels were 1200rms each about 150-250 per channel. car got destroyed along with half the fiberglass work i did for the first time

Sunroof open is louder, its like playing outlaw

Think it was like 5.5cu. Was slightly undersized due to limited truck volume

Holy shit 5.5 in that trunk?! Lol props to u man I have a little under 5cu in my 05 tsx and it’s tight as fuck...do u have any other videos showing the box and trunk setup?

@@N54_Sauce well it might have been including port I can't remember. Port was huge. I might have pix

Damn if u do man I would love to see them

i do have some pictures. I'm not sure how I can send them, seems to be no messaging system via youtube

they like 5-600$ but if ur electric is good youll get over 4k out of them most likely

Im sure you've already checked it out but the Crescendo bc3500d is $780. I've seen a bench test with one of em and it put up a 4,178 @ .7ohms on 14.6 volts. Insane! Lol.

richisamindset01 were cause the videos i seen they didnt even do rated

Ummmm honestly it's been a while since I seen that vid. I'm on several car audio forums and whatnot so I can't recall where I seen it exactly. I think it might have been an 'amp test Tuesday' vid by SMD but don't quote me on that. But those Nendo amps (I have 2 bc2000ds) are LEGIT!

Un nendo 5500

You probably have to throw those 12s in a 5 cubic box tuned at 36 Hertz and use a 5000 watt RMS amp, otherwise yeah they're probably going to sound like other stuff

You'll do fine with that setup man. Pretty much rely on the enclosure unless you're dumping over 2k rms each

i dont wanna damage them some underpowering

I be honest man I ran mine at shitty 1ohm 1krms each and they never gave a fuck. I don't recommend anything under 1200rms each tho

@@critixizer so you think im good for now ? on my 3200 rms amp nd which side do the subs hit harder facing the seat or the trunk ? 1ohm is when u do positive to positive and negative with negative cause i do it right the connections nd my multimeter marks me like 1.3 1.4 ? but my multimeter is a cheap one from walmart u think thats why?

@@vidrioadam idk what your multimeter has to do with your wiring connections. if you have a good sound deadened trunk they can sound great in the trunk, otherwise you have to absolutely seal off to get louder into the cabin

Depends on your car. Trunk is usually best bet but I sealed mine forward with expanding foam to keep the sound from traveling backwards
