Something might be wrong with my hcca

LMAO at waffle's first post though.
Im sure that HCCA hates you for running it sealed. If you had someone give you the specs for a ported box i bet youd have much better results.

I agree, but since it is so not-musical, the sealed box helps it some.

it's not gonna sound good in a sealed box no matter what you do. but it should not sound like something is wrong. if it sounds messed up still out of the box, it could be coil rub maybe. i think its a leaky box or possibly the speaker was not mounted tightly. play a test tone off a home amp or something and move around the box and see if you can hear air leaking anywhere

Oddly enough Orion designed the hcca for sealed enclosures. They do well in ported but a proper sealed box makes them hammer

This above me.

Hhmm i just think a sub of that nature would hammer more so in a proper built ported box.

I havent heard a loud sealed setup in years.. im curious to run a ****** sub sealed one day and see how it performs.

You have a HCCA in a sealed box? Those are SPECIFICALLY designed for ported boxes, that's like getting a 427 V8 then give it a fuel pump from a Grand Prix, you're doing it wrong dude.

Ummmm hccas are for ported. I had one in a small sealed box and a large sealed box. Hated both

Read the manual from ORION

The manual for a kicker l7 also gives sealed recommendations....

Some reputable member has to know what I'm talking about....back when the hcca came out they were said to be optimized for sealed.

 

[Ryan shaw 10+ year member]

Just saying that from my experience it sounds terrible in sealed boxes

negative ghost rider... I have had hcca's for years dating back to 2001. They have always been designed around a large vented box.
