Orion High Performance (HP™) that’s who! HP takes raw power to a whole new level, with machine-turned die-cast aluminum baskets and powerful Open Loop motors that utilize a vented hybrid magnet structure which dramatically increases airflow through the speaker.Open Loop speaker technology keeps the HP-Series subwoofers running cool even under the most demanding SPL situations.
In 2006 one of the most loved and most feared names in car audio returns to the Orion lineup: HCCA High Current Competition Class D Mono Amps. Born in the 1980’s in the blazing heat of the Valley of the Sun, HCCA put the industry and
the competition world on notice that Orion was a force to be reckoned with and the equipment of choice when you had to have the loudest, the lowest, and the strongest system in the joint. The technology then was transistors andmassive class AB designs that stretched the length of a football field, today it’s more efficient MOSFET and class D designs but the outcome is the same: serious amounts of power driving ridiculously low impedances at insane output levels.
The H2TM (short for “HCCA gen 2″) subwoofer design features a unique new motor design called Dual Gap Geometry(patented) that centers a short, lightweight voice coil between two magnetic gaps. The resulting ultralight moving mass is driven through a far flatter, more linear stroke by the extended magnetic field. The result is phenomenal excursion -29mm Xmax- and linearity as well as enhanced efficiency, and innovations in the basket industrial design allow an industry-leading 2000 watts continuous power handling. Dual spiders on a raised ventilated spider tower support the extreme mechanical excursion limits and improve air flow for better cooling.
Design that evokes shock and awe, with rugged die-cast aluminum covers, and the Orion badge proudly illuminated - represent! On the inside, massive loosely-regulated power supplies drive an all-new Pure MOSFET output circuit design delivering more power than ever through mil-spec circuit boards.The legendary Orion combination of pure power delivery and absolute signal clarity lives on. Front end features include a range by model of user-friendly features such as Intelli-Q or Intelli-Bass Equalization Circuit, high and low level inputs and advanced signal routing options, plus patented ESP2 features programmable with Directed’s ubiquitous Bitwriter™ and new PocketWriter™
