[mikesEK]

i'm NOT really wanting to sell my amps...I collect these puppies (most are broken) and I figure
some of you dudes might get a kick out of what I've got in my collection

car guys come to my house and go ape shit over them,,and some ppl (not car guys) see them and they look at me weird and I know they're thinking """this dude is really strange ,he has amplifiers for cars on his wall"" but hey I'm crazy like that ask anyone who knows me

feel free to comment ,,,,,there is one amp in my collection that will only be reconized by true old school caraudio nut jobs ...DAVE dont you chime in just yet I want to see who else can name it

No need to fix what isn't broken...may not be the best, but as long as it works, it isn't getting replaced.

[redgst97]

A few months ago, I have 2 PPI flat 12" subs, but the guy I bought them from blew his 2, and I sold them back to him....
I have a (circa 1995) Soundstream Reference 405 in the basement, along with an original Tube Driver amp.

In my Eclipse, I am using a Clarion 9255 radio....circa 1995. They dont make them like that any longer...

[con]

quite a collection.......

[mikesEK]

those old school SoundStream where pretty decent ,but I will say I have seen more NOT working than I seen working

[B18c1Turboed]

PRICES!!!

Nice. That red Orion model is pretty well known. I was a US Amps guy back then. I had a VLX-400 and two 50HC's but I sold them. I still have my two first US Amps, a 442 and US200, laying around.

[David88vert]

David Hafler Co. was bought by Rockford Corp back in 1987. That amp was produced after the purchase; hence, the old RF logo on the side.

[FAHHQUE700]

I have 2 Orion 97.3's I was thinking about using one of them.

[mikesEK]

I'm not familuar,,,educate me!!!! ...and post a pic if you can

You've got quite a nice collection of amps.. I've never really owned but 2 or 3 of them. I remember my first one and I still have it, still works too. Hifonics MARS 1600watt. Come with a huge ass book telling me configurations for best sounds and oms that match the subs... I'm not even sure what year it was made.

I know when I show it to people they are always going "I WANT IT BLA BLA BLA" So I'm going to hold on to it for a while..

Had it since 2000 and I bought it from my brother for 300 bucks then. Here's a few pics

[mikesEK]

yep this is just before HiFonics went overseas and turned to shit

I cant say this enough ...if you want the best amps out there ,,make sure it says made in USA,,, but man these days even some of the oversea's shit aint soo bad ,take JLaudio for example

I know it will make 3 10" mtx thunder 6k's thump
They weigh the mazda down too much though.

[David88vert]

I used to sell HiFonics. Ran Series 7's (Jupiter and Thor) in one of my old cars. Used to have HiFonics Vulcan Gen 2. That was a common ground amp. Even the guys at HiFonics weren't familiar with it anymore - and that was back in 1995.

[Spyder]

Nice collection of old shit... I myself still run some realllllly old gear, unfortunatly alot of the stuff I have had over the years has been stolen... I had a Pheonix Hold Outlaw Bandit Limited edition... #1465(i think)... this was stolen some years ago

i still use some old RF 200's lol.. and a modified MMats D300HC.. meh, memories.

[mikesEK]

The one that they only made a few of? the... ehh.. damn I cant remember the name, it came with an alternator and wiring.. and installation if I remember correctly it was like 250K or something stupid lol..

[GTScoob]

That orion HCCA is the shit. Is that the one that is stable down to 1/4 ohm, maybe 1/2 ohm?

[mikesEK]

YEP THATS THE ONE!!!!!!!

[David88vert]

Nah, you've already hooked me up with lots of equipment over the years.

[scttydb411]

i've owned quite a few of those as well...brings back memories.

some a$$hole decided to liberate my 2 hcca 225 from my car a week after moving to atl. they were the original ones that used brg modules and crx modules instead of push button bridging. it was nice competing in the 1-100 watt class and killing everyone...it would play for a while on 1ohm mono before thermaling off.

i still have the brg floating in my garage somewhere. the crx modules are still being used on the replacement sx amps.

[mikesEK]

I could be wrong but the HCCA dont have a PROTECT mode ,,,,and its called the BRG-400 if I remember right
