Summary:
Anyone who makes a bad review on the HCCA's are morons if you plan on running any hcca you best be ready to spend thousands to prep your car these subs are not ment to be just slapped in a car with some random crap you need lots of power first off the guy lol talking about his amp being too hot lol you dont have anywhere near enough power stoopid your lack of power is causing severe voltage drop if you have a clue what ur doing you would know that less voltage means more resistance increasing amp draw causing more heat if you were properly maintaining 12v or better your amp wouldnt get hot and cut off on voltage limits and overloads that guy with the one optima is killing his amp even two optimas of any kind may not be enough you got to remember the car need power duhhh so one battery is enough to run the car efficiently. ok now add 1500watts of longterm draw aka ONE 10" orion hcca to the system that one sub alone needs another battery just for itself to run propery then you need a beast of an alternator or your batteries will be trash in a matter of hours you need to maintain as close to a full charge on you batteries as possible if you want them to last even if you have an upgraded alternator i would suggest regularly charging your batteries to make sure they are at maximum potential and as far as what batteries to use ther is NOTHING BETTER in my opinion than KINETIK they can get expensive but you get your money worth im running kinetik batteries for those who dont know capacitors are completely worthless they dont do crap cause they have no reserve 1,2,3 hits of extreme bass and the cap is drained and cant charge until a break in the songs bass kinetiks on the other hand have a huge reserve of energy because its not just a rediculously powerfull capacitor its a battery you can accualy replace your car battery with them and power your rediculous stereo at the same time when properly sized ok so my system is perfect in my book and heres the details two 10inch hcca orions 3000watts a piece for a total of 3000rms plus maybe another 400watts rms for interior speakers plus the average maximum draw from the car maybe 1400watts thats a total of 4800watts crazy when you look at the full equasion it says i need atleast 3 batteries to run this and a bad ass alternator to keep them charged 90% of the systems i see are severly underpower cause people just dont know so technically i could get away with 2 hc2400 kinetiks aka 4800watts of power supply aka 3 or 4 traditional batteries but i went ahead and got 3 hc2400's its best to have more power than you need so you dont drain your batteries and comprimise their life expectancy not to metion we are only talking rms dont forget the addition power that orions and other subs will peek above the rms rating if you plan on slamming these things with perfection a lil bit over overkill never hurt anything except your wallet lol and im leaving room for other power hungry additions to my car suck as air ride compressors, inverter, and such im pushing these bad boys with an orion d5000 mono block amp and it doesnt get hot at all...ever its a friggin beast orion hcca's and kinetik's together equal perfection i have not listened to anything better
