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. They are available in  
standard 10”, 12” and 15” sizes.  
We at Orion strive to give you all the latest up to date information about this product.  
What we can’t give you in this manual is personal installation or technical experience.  
If you have questions concerning the use or application of this product, please refer  
or call the Orion technical support hotline at 1-800-876-0800. As we are always  
finding new ways to improve our product, the features and specifications are subject  
to change without notice.  
PRACTICE SAFE SOUND™  
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent  
hearing loss. High powered automotive sound systems can generate sound pressure  
levels in excess of 130dB. When playing your system at high levels, please use hearing  
protection and prevent long term exposure.  
INSTALLATION  
The performance of these HCCA subwoofers is directly proportional to the quality of  
installation. Care taken during the installation process will be rewarded with years of  
satisfying performance. If you are unsure about your installation capabilities, please  
refer to your local Authorized Orion Dealer for technical assistance. Orion dealers are  
trained professionals dedicated to extracting the maximum performance out of your  
Orion system. If you decide to install this speaker system yourself, please read the  
entire section on sealed and vented enclosures before starting your installation.  
Please Note: Due to the extremely long excursion and high temperature possibilities  
of this woofer, it is recommended that when the woofer is installed it be positioned  
so that the cone either faces upward or downward only.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE  
Listed are the majority of the tools required to perform the installation. Having the  
proper tools will make the installation much easier. It is very difficult when you get  
half way through the installation and discover that you require a specific tool to get  
yourself through a particular part of the installation. Some of these tools are  
necessities. Some make the job much easier.  
• Marking Pen  
• Assorted Drill Bits  
• Allen wrenches  
• Wire Strippers  
• Table saw  
• Electric Drill  
• Phillips Screwdriver  
• Volt/Ohm Meter (Optional)  
• Wire Cutters  
• Wire Crimper  
• Jig saw  
FINDING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS  
Choosing the correct speaker locations will have the greatest effect on the sound  
quality of the system. There are many different considerations needed when choosing  
the locations that best suit your needs. The locations must be large enough for the  
speakers to fit. Care is needed to ensure that the location you have chosen will not  
affect any of the mechanical or electrical operations of the vehicle.  
Determining the best location for the speakers will depend on your cosmetic needs  
and your vehicle's interior. Usually the woofers are installed in the trunk, rear seat, or  
rear of the vehicle.

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. The  
enclosure should be no less than 3/4" on sides. The baffle board (woofer mounting  
plate) should be no less than 1". If the woofer mounting is to be recessed then a  
minimum of two 3/4" plates together should be used. As MDF is a porous material  
it is best to also seal the inside of the enclosure.  
NOTE: The woofer must face up or down only, especially in sealed enclosures.

Enclosure Details  
1. Parameters listed are for conventional applications only, for further help please call Tech Audio Support  
2. 1" MDF is recommended.  
3. Recommended enclosures are NET Box Volumes, speaker and port displacement are calculated into the  
volume of the enclosure, you will not need to add these volumes to calculate GROSS volume for the  
enclosure.  
*** Sub-sonic filters should always be used and adjusted specifically for vented box designs.  
NOTE: The woofer must face up or down only, especially in sealed enclosures.
