The Strengths to this amp is its 2x25 at 4ohms great for comp.....Never get unbelevabley hot...puts out clean sound.....

I Dont like the Plugs for the speaker input and for power input although its a good connection.

I Paid around $200 only because I worked at ABC Warehouse and got a great discount though accomidations. I would recommend it to every one that wants a loud system i've heard best for JL Audio and Orion Subs Best to run HCCA's great sound with them.

I dont think anything compares

It looks good Good power at low volume

ran at 2 ohms stereo and it shut off every time I tried to push it, gets excessively hot, was factory installed so it wasnt my error hig price paid 519+tax, no fan definately can't run at .25ohm mono, so somebody is lying

$519 high price should warrant good quality, apparently most of the price is put into the looks. would not recommend to my worst enemy.

Precision Power 250x2 made hcca225 sound like a jenson amp

Power! Great looks. Quality.

It does set you back a few dollars. $399.99 in DEC 1993.

I have to start out by saying this amp looks way to good. The only thing I like more than its looks are the performance. I bought it to run 3 JL Audio 10w6 subs at 1 ohm mono. It does this with authority. There is pleanty of power with headroom, no need for a capacitor as the power supply in this amp is awesome! I had a punch 400x4 to run the mids a highs, one day I wanted to try the 225hcca out. I definitly heard a sound quality improvement, less power though (ratted 25x 2 stereo 4ohm, 400x1 mono 1ohm). Great amp!

Good God, does it get any better than this? I bought this amp used for 200, it is an older digital reference series, but I would love to see a four year old amp for 200 dollars try to match the power output. And the high damping factor keeps my JL sub under tight control all the time. I couldn't give a higher reccomendation for a product. Car Stereo Review did an article on a car with a HCCA 225 in it, and listed it as pushing 500 watts into each of two JL Audio tens ran in parallel. That's a total of a thousand watts! It's awesome!

This is an AWESOME amp! I purchased it from a local car-audio shop for $399 (100 off) but you can find these on Ebay for $300 or so.
It sounds like a low power amp- 25 watts x 2, but that is at 4 ohms. I'm running it with a Rockford Fosgate 15" DVC- so the DVC is a 2 ohm load. Since I'm running the amp bridged, I'm putting 100 VERY CLEAN watts into it. This amps is .25 ohm stalbe, so I could run 8 of these subs off this amp, all with the same power output... it would just run very hot.

It has a built in crossover (way better than any deck-crossover I've used). 64Hz, 80, 125, 170, 200Hz) It has RCA in and out, so you can filter the 'lows' out of your door speakers to minimize distortion.

I give it an A+++
