Help with my amp HCCA 2100

[revrider1 5,000+ posts]

I have this amp, that has been sitting in my room for about 8 years and was wondering if anyone knows the specs and the wiring diagrams for it. I dont remember, and was wondering if anyone could help. Also can anyone recommend subs for it, I was thinking 4 15" subs or maybe 2 18" subs. When I had it running it was pushing 4 15" subs. THANKS

i think this is accurate

100watts x 2 at 4ohms

200watts x 2 at 2ohms

400watts x 2 at 1ohm

800watts x 2 at .5ohm

Bridged

200 x 1 4ohms

400 x 1 2ohms

800 x 1 1ohm

I thought, if I remember correctly it was 1600 watts @ 1ohm.

If it's .25ohm stable it could put out 1600@.5ohm, dunno if it could do that probably not

Its way under rated and better than anything mainstream made in the last few years.

Itll run .25 ohm as well............That 100 watt amp will push 2 13 w7's.

Good lord that musta been a ton of power back then....

I never ran it that low, The lowest was 1ohm. I had a friend with 2 of these pusing 8 15" old school round solobarics, he was running .5ohm daily. Nobody remembers the specs though, not even him.

800 x 1 1ohm

If i understand amps correctly, when bridged, it takes the ohm figure previous to it. Example, if it is 100x2 at 4 ohms, and 200x2 at 2ohms, then at bridged 4, it should be 400, not 200. Otherwise what advantage would there be to bridging? So the figures should be:

bridged:

400x1 at 4ohms

800x1 at 2ohms

1600x1 at 1ohm.

I think all of the other figures should be right, though. Sweet amp!

Thats what I thought.

wiring diagrams?? is it not labeled?

 

[revrider1 5,000+ posts]

No, it is not labeled. I have the wiring harness, I just dont remember what wires are what. I know the blue is the remote. There is a yellow, a black/yellow, an orange, and a black/orange.

The yellow and yellow/black are the +/- for one channel and the orange and orange/black are the other. I'm currently in Iraq or I would pull out the owner's manual for mine and tell you which was which as far as left and right and which ones are used to bridge it. I do know that they were never actually rated to be run at less than 1 ohm stereo and two ohms bridged. I know plenty of people ran them lower, but they weren't rated for it and they probably only got away with it because of impedance rise.

I know that the wires stated are for stereo use , but I was wondering what the wiring was for mono use. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

Yeah i dunno... I just posted what I was told when I asked my friend who knows about this junk. Doesn't really make sense

Do you have the harness with the inline fuses on the speaker leads? If so the two with the fuses are the ones you want for bridged operation.
