INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of the Orion HCCA SubWoofers. These woofers represent a combination of incredible performance and value. The HCCA series subwoofers feature a massive 4" voice coil and triple stacked magnet assembly to maximize excursion and output. Capable of maintaining their balance at exceptionally high output levels. These high-performance woofers are built with dual 2 or 4 ohm voice coils, to get the most out of your amplifier.
TOOLS OF THE TRADE Listed are the majority of the tools required to perform the installation. Having proper tools will make the installation much easier. It is very difficult when you half way through the installation and discover that you require a specific tool to yourself through a particular part of the installation. Some of these tools necessities. Some make the job much easier.
1. Paper dust cap - moisture and UV 12. Voice coil gap vents. Part of the resistant. enhanced voice coil cooling system (forced convection - aluminum heat sinking -shorting rings to reduce inductive heating). 2. Tall, wide, balanced, NBR Foam (high 13. Cast aluminum rear pole piece heat density expanded polyester foam) sink with fins and vent holes.
RE-CONE KIT A re-cone kit is available for these speakers and can be obtained from your dealer. The part number for each model is listed below. Model HCCA10.2CK HCCA10.4CK HCCA12.2CK HCCA12.4CK HCCA15.2CK HCCA15.

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. They will also give high power handling with a wider range of frequencies. The enclosure must be absolutely air tight. Use a high quality wood glue for all seams of the enclosure. The enclosure should also be screwed together.
