Back in 1985 I had an Orion 280GX running 4 ohms into 4 10" subs. One of the first bumping car stereos in town where you could hear it coming from 2 blocks away. Those were the good old days.

[BentonL]

Bet you never imagined you would see 300k subs. I remember when you had less than a 1000. You provide valuable info for all of us trying to buy amps.

[BIGGIEDEVIL]

These amps where so expensive back in the day way out of reach for many ppl thanks for the review big D would like to see more old 90s early 2000s amps if possible only cuz that's when I was most into audio thanks much love from Canada

[icemanification]

Still a beast of an amp!! It's crazy how we're getting close to 10 years since the first dyno on that amp. Seems like they're getting more powerful every year. Great video BigD!! 🏆🥇🥇🎖

Got into Stereos late 90s early to mid 2000s. Onion was outa my impatient budget. Did have a JL 500.1. But thanks to these dyno vids I went with an Orion XTR 750.4 to run not just the front component sets with resister boxes but also the set in the rear passenger side figuring I at least get whats on the rating plus more. Birth sheet shows 205watts @2ohms. Very pleased. Now if only it wasn't -6°F out with the windchill making it feel like -30°F I'd be able to install it... hehe

Brother been riding with you ever since you unboxed the Smd dyno and love every minute. Love the content brother!!

[budgetaudiowithJ]

Wow not bad, but a little sad that it didnt do big numbers. Overall great video.
My orion 3000.1dsplx is still going strong for years now ever since you did a review on it

I was an Orion fan boy back in the 80s and 90s when I competed in IASCA and USAC. HCCA Orions are all I ran...12 Kicker Comp 12s on 3 HCCA 250s.

The history of the original Reds and the legendary power they were capable of made these amps the best at that time.
Then came the US Amps buyout of Orion. From that point on, Orion Reds haven't been able to live up to their legend.

Original HCCAs(produced by Orion as an independent company) were awesome. THD % couldn't be touched. The original "cheater" amps.

From the moment Orion sold-out to US Amps, with the company changing hands again and again since then, have been junk. Plain and simple.

u knew i was off today and needing something good to

[Basshead]

Just got my Deaf Bonce AAK 6K in. Sure wish you had a dyno of it! Love the vids, always be a fan.

[michaelzernie]

I'd say I'm surprised but I'm not. I've heard that Orions quality has been dipping down over the last few years. Another awesome video man!

[sethgt]

I love my Orion HCCA amplifiers! I had 2 of the 11000.1's, but now I only have one, but I also have the HCCA 4, 000.4 and the HCCA 2, 000.4. Some of the best amplifiers I have ever owned. I just bought the JP 10 to the 4th. I can't wait to put that in and see how it sounds.

[briank.]

I love that Big D uses the Massive sub. I have the Summo & that thing is unholy. With it getting all the power It thirsts for It just beats the shit out of my car.🤣

[boominS]

My HCCA5000.1dv2 clamped over 8k rms in Orion video a few years ago. Best thing I've ever won

[ruikazane]

Speaking of big amps...imagine that older RF T1000.1bd being that size for "only" 1000 watts. Saw one on sale at a newly discovered shop, they also have a 225 HCCA (later model) and some old Precision Power amps, a few old skool Punch amps...if only I could afford to get one and a headunit to bang in New Year!

[sunnyskiesblue]

I'm running an 15" orion xtr series 3 sub. Still performs great.

[Vans]

I’ve always wonder why it seems no one who tests amps uses cmax for a battery. On my test bench I have a 145ah fat cell. A 6 amp, yes 6 amp, fully adjustable from 0-30 volts AC/DC power converter I keep it charged with. I just leave it at 16 volts all time. I have to draw over 1100 amps of current to drop 1/2 volt and I have $1725 into my charging system/battery. I had 240ah yinglong, same 16 volts and it was double the cost for half the power. Voltages tanked quick. Just curious why I never see cmax on test benches. See them in cars all the time. Great video big D👍🏼

[modularoutput]

We need to see PPI Poweclass dynos!

The PC1400 charcoal specifically.

[gregphillips.]

Happy Holidays Big D, thanks for another year of great entertaining content! 🙏
