Hi,
I am passing down to my son some of my gear I stored from back in the days (late 80s, early 90s).
I have a HCCA 250, and 2 Xtreme 400s.
We are evaluating which subs would pair up best with those amps. My preference is to just give him the 2 X400s and keep the HCCA for a future install for myself. But I am not opposed to giving him the whole kit n kaboodle.
This is the gear being considered:
For front stage I am giving him my MBQuart QM130s Separates (Made in Germany) - power with an Xtreme 400 (a bit over kill I guess)
Rear fill speakers - purchase some high quality coax and power it from the head unit.
Subs: here's where we are undecided (except we know they will be JLs). I want to maximize power amp to speaker optimal rating. So we could go with :
2 - JL Audio 12w3v2 4 Ohm (per SPKR Max RMS Power of = 500 watts, 300 watts RMS is Optimal)
Power both of them with an Xtreme 400 @ 4 Ohms, 400 Watts RMS
Power both of them with the HCCA 250 @ 1 Ohm, 800 watts
or
2 JL Audio 10w6v2 4 Ohm (per SPKR Max RMS Power of 600 Watts, 400 watts RMS is Optimal) =
Power both with HCCA 250 @ 1 Ohm, 800 Watts RMS

I,d go with the hcca 250 at 1 ohm but make sure to check the electrolytic caps in it as one of my caps in my hcca 2100 just dried out and literally fell apart and I just got the caps today for my xtr 200 as they have all swollen up with age just like the rest of us  but I think the old gear still rocks the best (just my opinion) it just needs a little tune-up now and again
