Installing HCCA 225

[gettheledout 10+ year member]

Here is what I have- first gen HCCA 225, Audiocontrol 2xs, and a kicker 10" L7 2ohm DVC in a kicker ported box. I have 4ga wire, but still need to figure out a fuse size. First of all the ratings aren't true, and I want to wire the sub in parallel to run at 1 ohm. Does the crossover come before the amp? If so, which of the 4 output wires on the amp do I attach to the sub terminals. Might seem like a common sense question, but I can't figure it out. Also, tried to research the size of the fuse from the battery but I didn't know what is good for this particular application... :/

Thanks, rguy

If you're wanting to run that HCCA225 bridged then you'll need Orion's external bridging module to do so.

As I recall the 1st Gens wouldn't run in mono bridged mode otherwise.

I think it wasn't until Gen 3 that they could run bridged standalone without the external module...

that's what the Audiocontrol is for. It's one of the older models with bridging, and A LOT of people on this and other forums said that it would work as well as the Orion one. Yes or no?..

It will need about an 80 amp fuse...If you need it I have a mint Orion EQ with cable that will work perfect with your amp...PM me if interested....
