2nd gen Orion HCCA 225

[shake this 10+ year member]

I have two mint 2nd generation HCCA 225 amps. What should I do with them?

I've been toying around with putting a system together again and thought about pulling these out of retirement. Would it be worth using them in a modern system or has technology changed for the better?

Was thinking about running each mono for my right and left front channel or maybe paring them up to run a single 12". This would be in a 2004 Mach 1 mustang.

What would you do if you had a pair just sitting around? What would you pair them with?

I'd sell them to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif But incase that cant happen, how about just using one for the front end and one bridged on the sub. While it may not be very loud or a lot of power, it would be very clean and a light load on your electrical system.

I'm really debating on running both to a daul 1ohm 12" for a total of 800 watts and then picking up something to run my fronts.

pics. i would consider replacing the electrolytic caps in them. they would look real nice paired to the sub. even better if you could find a matching 4channel

That brings back memories!

I have the little (6.5") brothers to your 10's.

Orion was good stuff back then.

I pushed out a lot of cobalt product back when I had a small shop. It was hard to beat at the time for the price. Made Kenwood and pioneer look like a joke for about the same price.
