i am currently uploading my xcon vids, stick around I will have the link posted in 10-20 minutes.

I already have designed my enclosure, I plan on putting it in a 4 cubic foot box tuned to 29hz here is a link to the enclosure I plan on having built... I am looking for someone to build a Enclosure - SSA Car Audio Forum

My LPF is set at 100hz with a 24db roll off.

the 15" its in a full size 92 buick century station wagon on a stock alternator with 2 gauge wire, and a 1600rms amp. I wish I could see its full potential, that will have to wait until next month

I tried, euro-dance which is similar to techno), I also tried rap and some bass testers. I kind of noticed it wasn't hitting anything above 50hz very well is it just because it isn't broken in yet? i can tell it does sound very stiff, it could also be because its not in its ideal enclosure yet. Give me ideas on how to improve on my setup before I do my video tomorrow.

I love sound quality and its clarity. But I always end up listening to mp3's and I have heard from many places and I do believe them, that mp3's are to heavily compressed, and I want to know where I can get true audiophile grade sound tracks, of rock and techno type music??

Lol, Ya my kove, made shit come loose that was never loose before in my 95 cadillac. the only things that rattle where my brake lights and sunroof cover. I had everything else padded down.

I'm upgrading from my 11 year old kove sub, its been very really reliable, alot of people don't like kove subs, but it has been able to blow my lighter out in the front seat with just one sub, and I have beaten the s*** out of it, and it still is working like the day I got it , its up for sale also $175 enclosure included. I can't believe how old this thing is, who ever owned one of these in 1999 must of been envied by his whole town.

Well the only reason I want a nice enclosure, is because I am planning on this being my long-term subwoofer, 5-10 years unless I win the lottery or something.

Ya here is a link to the one hes gonna be building me I am looking for someone to build a Enclosure - SSA Car Audio Forum

I had a box that looks similiar to this one without a kerfed port made by the bst audio shop in wisconsin, and the charged $250, but audible customs is gonna build me a enclosure that is much better and cooler looking for $260.

Wow, i'm glad I picked this guy to build my enclosure now, I was talking with him a few weeks back. Now I just can't wait to get the money for it.

I would suggest upgrading the alternator first anyways, because if you put 1,2,or 3 batteries on a stock alternator its gonna wear the alternator out, so upgrade that first. If you already have a high output alternator, then i'd suggest 1-2 100ah batteries.

Really sweet, I wish my amp does that. That would be handy for me.

I thought the remote Bass knobs where to control the bass boost on the amp, if so then this knob wouldn't turn the bass down that much for the kids, and when you turn the knob up wouldn't it make it an unbalanced setup. One of the amps I own that is what it controls.

No offense to anyone, ive never heard one. i'm just curious, but what is so great about a sundown audio amp, I have read the specs and they seam good, but there thd distortion isn't that low, and people always recommend the 1500rms version for an xcon and I always wondered why?? I have read they have plenty of raw power, but i'm the kind of guy that likes to know every detail.

I got a negative reputation to this specific post, and I am just curious to why i would even get one for this, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this message???? Sry if i bother anyone, i'm just confused at this.

idn I have had a couple crappy amps in the past that just sounded awful, once I had this amp from china a company called tinly I think and it was horrible sounding, it was my first amp. And I was just throwing things out there, trying to get the full picture clearly.

ok thanks for your responses, so what else make it good, does it sound better than other amps in its class? is it super efficient? does it have good output at all frequency's?

A subwoofer will play anything, the only factor that changes is volume. You cannot hear anything below ~20 hz. I'm not exactly sure what your saying in your first statement there, but I know very well you can't here below 20hz, but what about the 20-30hz range that the crunch doesn't cover, and my ears don't lie when I hear a big difference in anything lower than 40hz between the crunch and hifonics.

ya, I used the crunch for my speakers, and it works great for that but the crunch amps freq response only goes down to 30hz unlike the hifonics which they go down to 5hz, I know no sub can hit that low but it doesn't hurt to have a lil headroom

um yes it did, because I tried a hifonics amp, and a crunch amp, with the very same subwoofer and wires and head unit, the only thing that changed was the amp. My old hifonics died so I used that crunch for a couple months and it didn't sound at all the same. I was using monster cables best rca wire $140, 2 gauge wire, a kenwood excelon x991 head unit, and monster speaker cable to the 15" kove sub.

I live 40 miles north of madison, its a good 2 hour drive to get to chicago.

I have posted a few topics on my new ssa xcon, I haven't received it yet, it just got don't being built today, so it probably will be shipped out tomorrow. I just am bored, and I want to talk about it, or here any insight or anything random at all about it or anything even related to it, and completely off topic subjects are ok, just as long as you don't fill the whole page with it. so type away

Ok, I am in wisconsin, I have ordered many things from ups I always use ground shipping and I have seen things arrive between 2-5 days, the one time something came from california and got here in wisconsin in 2 days, I was amazed. I'm just trying to make conversation about my xcon until it arrives, I have no job and I live in a town of 721ppl so i'm bored often.
