What do you guys think about the new orion HCCA competition MONO Amps?

well more like last years design?

el-cheapo Power Accoustick amp blew on me last night....looking to replace..

 

should be in audio forum..

 

DEI sucks

Made in China FTL

 

^^thanks for the heads up....I DIDNT KNOW THAT

i would have left it in there...Only 2 and 1/2 days later and no reply

 

They look like crap, but beyond that no way to tell till their actually out. Probably be a decent middle of the road type of amp. They don't look like anythign special.

Any opinions you get here are going to be pretty subjective... only real way to know will be to actually test one out or find someone who's got one.

 

thanks man, i pretty much figured id get subjective opinions Would you have any suggestions on a Good Mono Amp for about 400 bucks??

 

how much power are you looking for? what subs?
I have a PPI 1250x I was going to put on ebay if your interested

 

If you can wait a little while go for an Arc Audio Kar, or see if there are some of the current line available www.arcaudio.com they should fall into your budget and have great features and alot of power.

 

what do you think about the Arc Audio KAR 1000v1?

 

Anything that DEI gets their hands on turns to **** instantly. PPI,Orion,A/D/S are not exceptions by a long shot...

 

Great amp, but is going a complete overhaul now.

 

Then you suck too...I enjoy my DEI amp thank you very much.

 

Its still poop tho.

 

I just took a poop....

 

When it breaks I will get somethin ARC to match the sub.

 

Thanks for sharin' I do that regularly.

It happens...

 

Hey if it works, it works. Gets the job done right?

I just like bustin your *****.

 

well im not looking to do a complete overhaul rigt now. So im just gonna get the Orion Amp for now. But when i upgrade my subs as well as 4 channel amp ill go for two arc audio amps, and 2 arc 12 inch subs (2 ohm DVC's)

 

If you are gonna buy...don't waste $ and just get the ARC's 1st time around.

 

But why spend money twice? It turns out being that much more expensive. Spend the coin (or save if you dont have it) the first time around. Itll save you both time and money in the longrun.

Theres several offerings from Arc,Alumapro,Rainbow,DLS,Audison,Eclipse,etc that will more than suit your needs..

 

^^lol, i wish you guys would have replied in the thead i had in the Audio forum...BEFORE I PURCHASED IT LASTNIGHT Thats why i put the thread in this section because i knew i would get a reply AT LEAST


DAMN! now i regret not getting the ARC amp...BECASE THE THING ABOUT IT IS, I ACTUALLY WENT TO THEIR DAMN SITE LASTNIGHT AND LOOKED AT THEIR SELECTION! ****

 

I have the OLD Orion HCCA. That little sucker ROCKS my JL Audio 12. 2ohm DVC in a 1.22 cu ft cabinet

But hey, how good can it sound if it is only 25W per channel......??????

 

where'd you buy it from? Return it, stop payment, do not accept delivery...

 

Um the new ones aren't cheater amps like the old. The old ones are MUCHHHHHHHHH nicer.

 

I have about a dozen of those.

 

For that SPL van you were gonna build?

 

Buahahaha, nah for my personal collection. Along with alot of other fine classics.

 

I would love to go into your stash and see what gems are in there

 

Nope, not happening. I keep the majority of it at my parents house in the attic in original boxes and wrapped in plastic. No one touches them including myself.

 

EBAY BRO, EBAY.... SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS....lol

 

Where can i buy Arc Audio Amps for cheaper than retail anyway??....other than ebay

would you happen to know pear96max?...

 

He's a dealer for them...

 

o wow....are u serious...lol....HEY PEARL???WHY DIDN'T U SAY SOMETHING....LOL....U GET ME A PRICE RIGHT NOW AND ILL BUY AN AMP FROM U TONIGHT!...AS I Stated before somewhere in the 350-450 dollar range...I guess....for that would I be able to get one that hits pretty hard? sorry about the caps bro, I'm typing from my treo...no disrespect

 

find the older ones on ebay, they are great

 

assuming it still works

 

I have a few of the original Orion amps as well in a safe and secure place. If I remember correctly one of their first head sales guys was named Gino. He had the guys in Tempe 'tweak' a couple of 240 and 280 gx's for me. I even have a GS1000. Nice and shiny gold plating. That is in storage too.

Now if I could just find a couple of extra bridging modules......
