    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    so I could just put a few peices of wood in there and it will raise my tuning?? if so, could anyone tell me what I would need to do to raise it to 31-33hz? how many peices.

    the guy with the truck with 6-15" subs he was playing some classic rock on it, and it felt like there was a fan going, the guy with 2 inch hair was doing a hair trick without trying. I'm gonna wait until I can get a new amp and alternator then i'll go again sometime. to much gas right now.

    I went into modified 0-1000 class, and I got a 142.6db at 41hz in the passenger kick panel. I only got 3rd though.

    well I know I won't even have a close chance in mod 0-1000. but I guess for the practice. Hopefully i'm not laughed at....

    Well i have been playing a mix of everything, from pink floyd, to lil wayne, to techno, to an occasional test tone. I turn it down every once in awhile. It has been sounding awesome so far, and gets louder every day.

    ya, i'm increasing in output. I'm hoping to do good at tmrw's competition. So what class should I go in if my box is 1"-2" above the window line?

    Is there a difference to the smells? it doesn't smell like burning, it just smells like glue. and it is only when there is a lot of air movement.

    But I looked it up on google and it seemed common to smell glue on new enclosures. especially when the entire inside of mine is covered in glue. Plus I could smell the glue stronger a few days ago its starting to go away now.

    what about the glue inside the enclosure?? its only on the deep notes when I can feel the air move do I smell the glue. The entire inside of my enclosure is carpeted. When I said I could smell it I was basically saying my subs where really starting to break in and hit deep.

    well explain it to me then???

    how is it not a good thing??? the entire inside of the box smelt like that before I even put the sub in for the first time. I was actually halfway inside the box for about 20 minutes wiring the lights.

    So about when you mentioned it being below the window line, it looks like it might be about a inch above the window line, is that bad???

    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    Ya I could probably shorten the port, But at this rate i will live with it, it is still loud and is getting louder every day as it breaks in. I will just have to wait until I can afford some better components.

    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    would there be a way to change my tuning?? without building a new box?

    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    ok, thanks for you responses. I guess i will have to invest in some good components, but that won't be for a long time.
  21. One thing I have noticed about my xcon is that it hits a certain frequency range with a much greater intensity than the rest. It lacks any kind of upper bass. but the lows rock with it. So I want to know from all the people who own a xcon what songs hit the best on your xcon. I'm not asking for a general bass tester for any sub. I want to know what songs are great with a 15" xcon. What songs hit so hard that they make your doors push outward and your windshield flex. So far I have found that 1:12 into tick tock by banana inc is really loud, and bass i love you isn't half bad. But I wan't more ideas

    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    I do have fully powered polk momo 6x9's. 100rms and they get really loud and have good midbass, and they even sound like a small sub if i turn the xcon off. but the xcon is so loud i can't even notice the midbass at all from those momo's.

    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    well the enclosure is 4cf tuned to 29hz. it was built by a pro. even that it is a great box there is a really tiny leak at the seam of my top plexi window, its small, I can't feel any air moving through it but I can hear it easily if i'm within a foot of the box.

    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    Ya but I don't have much money. And my other subs could hit those notes just fine. its like there is a dead drop-off somewhere on the music, it will hit one bass note and be really loud and then it will go hit a note thats 5-10hz higher and Its really quiet. so idn..... i may be a but I do want to know why its just such a small freq.. range that it hits.

    15" xcon not good at upper bass??

    Please be nice, I just want a little lower mid-bass. half of my rap songs sound better on my 12" sanyo floor speakers that are 20 years old. just because when it gets to any of the higher bass notes it goes from loud to barely can hear it. and I have the xcon set at 80hz for crossover and i have tried 90hz also, and my 6x9's are set at 50hz.
