HCCA154ck ORION HCCA 15” 4 OHM Re-Cone Kit WIRING CONFIGURATIONS The following illustrations provide guidelines on properly connecting your HCCA Orion woofer to an Orion amplifier for maximum power and performance using COMMONPARALLEL,ANDSERIES/PARALLELWIRINGCONFIGURATIONS. Recommended Amplifier Power 1 woofer 1,200 to 4,000 watts...
Series—One Speaker (dual 2 ohm voice coils) One dual 2 ohm voice coil woofer with voice coils in connected in series results in a 4 ohm load to the amplifier. Figure 2 Figura 2 Abbildung 2 1. Connect the woofer in series by connecting the negative (-) of one terminal to the positive (+) terminal of the other coil.
Parallel—One Speaker (dual 2 ohm voice coils) One dual 2 ohm voice coil woofer with voice coils in parallel results in a 1 ohm load to the amplifier. Figure 3 Figura 3 Abbildung 3 1. Connect the speaker in parallel by connecting the two positive (+) terminals together and the two negative (-) terminals together.
Parallel—One Speaker (dual 4 ohm voice coils) One dual 4 ohm voice coil woofer with voice coils in parallel results in a 2 ohm load to the amplifier. Figure 4 Figura 4 Abbildung 4 1. Connect the speaker in parallel by connecting the two positive (+) terminals together and the two negative (-) terminals together.
Parallel—Two Speakers (dual 4 ohm voice coils) Two dual 4 ohm voice coil woofers with voice coils in parallel and the two woofers in parallel results in a 1 ohm load to the amplifier. Figure 5 Figura 5 Abbildung 5 1.
Series-Parallel—Two Speakers (dual 2 ohm voice coils) Note: Verify and ensure that the woofer wiring is connected as shown with the negative connection from the first woofer coil connected to the positive connection of the second woofer coil. Two dual 2 ohm voice coil woofers with voice coils in series and then parallel the two series woofers results in a 2 ohm load to the amplifier.
Series-Parallel—Three Speakers (dual 4 ohm voice coils) Note: Verify and ensure that the woofer wiring is connected as shown with the negative connection from the first woofer coil connected to the positive connection of the second woofer coil. Three dual 4 ohm voice coil woofer with voice coils of each woofer wired in series and then parallel the three woofers for a resulting 2.67 ohms.load to the amplifier.
Series-Parallel—Four Speakers (dual 4 ohm voice coils) Note: Verify and ensure that the woofer wiring is connected as shown with the negative connection from the first woofer coil connected to the positive connection of the second woofer coil. Four dual 4 ohm voice coil woofers should be wired with the voice coils on each woofer in series and then parallel the four woofers for a resulting 2 ohm load to the amplifier.

2 Amplifiers—One Speaker (dual 2 ohm voice coils) One dual 2 ohm voice coil woofer with each voice coil connected to an individual amplifier, resulting in a 2 ohm load to each amplifier. Figure 10 Figura 10 Abbildung 10 1. Connect one of the speaker’s voice coils to the first amplifier by connecting the positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) terminal from the speaker to the respective positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) terminal from the first amplifier.

Connect one of the speaker’s voice coils to the first amplifier by connecting the positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) terminal from the speaker to the respective positive (+) terminal and the negative (-) terminal from the first amplifier.
**** Electrical Parameters were calculated in series. ENCLOSURE DESIGN This section gives the basic description for a sealed enclosure. Orion HCCA woofers are designed for sealed enclosures and vented enclosures. Sealed enclosures are generally considered the most versatile for all music types and are the easiest to build.
3dB. This is an important number when it comes to setting your a highpass filter or your ORION IntelliQ. The IntelliQ should be set at the same frequency as the “F3”as this will keep the speaker from damaging or what is know as overloading.

HCCA102 & 104 Vented 800 to 1500 Watts Input Note: These enclosures will deliver higher sound pressure levels than sealed enclosures. The perceived loudness will be lower than a sealed enclosure, although the metered number will be higher. WARNING: proper setting of the IntelliQ is critical or woofers...

HCCA102 & 104 Vented SPL Enclosure Only. Note: These SPL enclosures are for dB drag vehicles only!!!!! If music is played through this type of enclosure, the woofer will be damaged! Listed here are starting points, experimentation is the key to success. Use extreme caution, the woofers can be damaged with frequencies below the tuning frequency.
