found one that some guy is selling near me for $150. is that a good deal? i need a new amp for highs that pushes at least 100 watts at 4 ohms.

That is a great price, provided it works. Even at 4 ohms stereo you should expect MORE than 100 watts per channel. I measured a HCCA 225 to produce 73.5 watts RMS per channel just prior to clipping into a 4 ohm load with 14.4 volts of input. I also measured a HCCA 225 G4 to produce just over 100 watts per channel into a 4 ohm load with 14.4 volts of input.

My only word of warning is that beast is inefficient and loves to draw LOTS of current!

no. back when i just had a hcca 225 runnig a pair of 12w5's,it kept melting my alt on a 86 t-bird. above is correct-hence the hcca.

Back in the day, we called them O-Fryin'. The red Heatsink was red for a reason. Sweet sounding amps though!

I am running a HCCA 225 Digital Reference on a Memphis 15-MS124D @ 2 ohms in my fiancee's vehicle and the amp barely gets warm.

Drop it to 1 ohm mono and feel the heat!
