Is this a good box for a Orion HCCA sub?

Yes! This would be an excellent box for it. This is one serious sub box, I love it and gives off clean low bass.

Its a good box but I wouldn't use it on that sub. It's tuned too high. 39hz for the port!

I have it for a re audio sex 15 with 650 watt rms amp it slams my truck plus the ml 320 has perfect sound damping

If your going to power your sub to full capacity, I'd spray the inside with rhino liner to help reinforce the box. It's a good box but to help make it last I'd reinforce it

Yes, its a really amazing box to have. I used to own an older 15 inch spl gorilla audio sub that had 5,000 watts max peak, with 4,000 Class D monoblock amp. This sub is the same size as your Orion. With your sub it will tear peoples ear drums out 3 blocks away. The lows hit really nice and can play super deep lows that most boxes you cant hear. This box will force some air with a setup like this. If your planning on fitting it in an extended cab truck, be sure to pull out the bottom cushion of the back seat and fit it on the floor. Well that is what i did, and it sounded better and louder that way. Yes, its a really amazing box to have.

Yes it sounds really good. The sub needs a big sealed box to sound its potential though. I have this same set up in a ported truck box doesn't sound bad just know it could sound better.

What ever you decide, make shure you buy or build a good enclosure. The enclosure can make or break a sub. I would steer clear of prefab boxes, I would highly recommend getting ahold of Dustin Cambron of DC Creations and have him build you a enclosure to fit your needs. Go to caraudio.com, he is a moderator on that site and does wonderful builds for about what you will pay for a crappy prefab box. He goes by the user name of prorabbit.

same here got mine from CL. not a bad sub if you lay it on its side and plug the port (don't care for ported down fireing subs seal it and lay it on its side sna it will sound better!)

Yes it is. I had mine hooked up to 2 cheap sony svc I had It souned pretty good. Aslo if you want good sount with this amp a lot of that would have to do with what style of BOX you have. I built a box for one 15inch sub and let me tell you my living room is 22x15. My whole house shakes. My wife is not a big fan of it due to the fact that Everything shakes and rattles when Im using it. I love I have it on for hours at a time.

Your better off geting a custom enclosure built. If its a prefab box your not really getting anything out of it. But you usually set the subsonic to half of the tuning of the box. Lof is usually 60 to 80hz is fine.

Hi, DB62. I'm not sure as I have never had experience with the Orion. But as I compare all of these 9X50's they all look like they have all come from the same manufacturer and use different names. My guess would be that they are close to identical. I love it for what it is and it is a marked improvement in light gathering over an 8X50 or my old 6X50. Let me know if you have any other questions! TM

I'm researching the same question. Orion recommends 43"x9"x11" Orion Padded Telescope Case. Did you get the larger case? Does it work for you?

I have not, the box was too small for the sub I bought, so I could try if you really need an answer. From what I can tell, the carpet is glued down pretty good. So it would be a challenge, and wouldn't look real good as well.

I have a full enclosed box and it sounds great. The design to my box was custom, since for this size of sub, it is a must. The thickness of the box is 1 inch. My sub I have installed in my Baja power boat, so for this reason, I had to have my box made with special marine grade compounds to prevent expansion and distortion to the box. But if you plan on having installed in a vehicle, you shouldn't have an issue with that. One suggestion, this sub does require a lot of power, so I would highly recommended at least 750watt HD amp from JL audio.

Trust me one is plenty. I also have a 2000 watt pioneer amp and this thing is nuts. Get a box with 1.0 cubic inch of airspace.

It will need a custom built enclosure because of the size of the sub itself. My fiancee and I had to have a box built around it by Pioneer specifications.

Just from my experience these subs don't work in a ported box. Maybe they just weren't working in my box but I ended up making a new sealed box and they beat pretty hard for 50 bucks a piece.

Yes however it depends on your subs that are installed. I recommend some slims. Also when purchasing subs keep in mind the depth of the magnet to the bottom of the box. Clearance is a mere inch to seat bottom as well. Cheers!

The sub Box you need is a box with a air volume of .80You can make any Design of box as long as it has a air volume of .80 or as close to that as possible I have two of these subs and my air volume for each box is .78 wich is really close to it and it won't make a difference for tht little bit off from .80

No. This box is good for a sub that requires at least 2 to 2.2 cubic feet of air space.

Absolutely! I purchased mine a few months ago and as I am tweaking and optimizing they just get better and better. I use them in a 16x20 space and am most pleased with the separation from front to back an left to right. The center is solid and the sub bumps nicely. I set it to the highest setting and then flat on my amp. They look attractive as hell in a Steinway glossy black and the look will fit anywhere.
