What do you think of this amp?

Not sure which year it is. I think it was gold plated by someone else (not factory). Anything you know about it I would be interested to know.

[dumple 5,000+ posts]

yea you should prolly sell it to me for like 100 bucks

Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like a early-gen of Orion's HCCA amps, which means it is awesome. That "100 watt" rating is probably more than double of that.

looks like a hcca 250v1

ya i originally bought it years ago for my subs, but its not bridgeable without a special wiring harness. just thought id see what you thought. So it will be good for comps?

Without a bridging module, they are useless to attempt to bridge. You can still DIY one: Index of /temp/dinbridgingmodule

As for power, I benched a HCCA 250 G4 at 100 watts RMS per channel just prior to clipping into a four ohm load. If I am not mistaken, the older ones will produce a tad bit more power.

thanks guns4me. I already have a crossfire vr1000d for my sub, so no need to bridge this one. I am just going to use this for my front speakers.

Out of curiosity, how much do you think this amp is worth?

 

[groundpound4200 5,000+ posts]

if it was mint... a LOT!

 

[chillin 10+ year member]

well its definitely not mint. And did they make a gold amp or was it done after? I assume after, but have never been sure.

They had the Orion Concept 97.1/2/3 amplifiers. Also, I think I recall seeing their custom GS amplifiers in gold sinks too.
