Yeah, but a trianglular port with a rectangular opening???

I've been here since 1978, lol. the port opening would be at the top in this pic

Has anyone ever seen a triangular port with a rectangular opening??? WTF!?!?!?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any clubs or teams in the Lake Charles area or anywhere in Southwest Louisiana. I'd like to get involved but I really can't find anything.

Nice vid man, watcha gonna put back there?? Nevermind didn't read the other replies first. went to go make a vid of my shit after seeing yours and it started raining, wtf.

I can actually say, since I used to own a CVR on the same kind of set up, that the DCON's sound way better, and since its ported it hits harder too, but thats just my opinion.

I would loose my interest in car audio completely if my SSF was stuck 3hz below my tuning frequency...LOL to the origional poster...sounds like the enclosure is at fault or the subs just have not had a chance to loosen up I have installed Dcons and they get right down and dirty with the low stuff oh I loosend them up alright, its viberating the front wall of my truck bed and when the bass "kicks" if feels like one of my kids is kicking the back of my seat, lol.

That seems counter intuitive. The good old school amps weren't cutting corners like today and were surely happy at loads under 8 ohms. Either way on a sub there is NO WAY that you are going to hear a difference anyways. The amount of distortion you can sustain before your ear can hear it at low frequencies is disgusting. I would also bet that this is partly the problem the OP has. In his previous setup he ran it into distortion creating a sense of loudness, the Dcon's it sounds like aren't setup in his box to do that which can surely make it seem to be quieter. What???

Yep, it was gremlins.

OK OK OK, whoever said just let them brake in was right, and who ever said just let them play loud for a couple of hours was right. I spent the last three hours playing 20hz test tones and sine sweeps and deep bass musik, after my sub sat the my truck in 98 degree heat all day, and the lows are back as a matter of fact I'm getting the same kind of sound as I was from the 10's only I got louder lows and the bass seems to kick harder than before.

What is your subsonic filter set to? I know it's fixed, but what is the frequency? Have no info on that Have you verified the enclosure volume and tuning frequency? No What was your prior subwoofer? 2 Diamon Audio D1 10's Do they "feel" stronger than your prior setup, just not as loud to the ear? Yes How low of frequencies are we talking about? Below around 30hz

It is running at 2ohms, it's an A/B class amp, but thank you for the advice.

Thats another thing I was concerned about, It's not really broken in yet, I've only been playing it for 3 days, but for 6-7hrs at pretty decent volume levels.

My subsonic is not adjustable.

My last system was the same except I was running 2 Diamond Audio D1 10's in a sealed box

He tried to get the T/S specs off the net, but his computer at the shop sucks, so he told me not to worry, he would look them up at home and build the box Mon. Thank you all sooo much for your help, its been raining down here for like 4 days and I think I was just getting stir crazy, lol.

If the port area is 32.5in^2 how long do I need to make it to get 30-31hz??? This is for my 12" DCON.

He's got a program for it, but he needs the sub to hook it up to and it's been two weeks since I ordered the sub and it still isn't in yet.

OK heres the deal, the box isn't made yet. That is the info I need to know, what size and what port deminsions, all I know is it; 1.NEEDS TO FIT UNDER THE BACK SEAT OF A 2002 GMC SIERRA EXT. CAB 2.I WANT IT TO BE TUNED TO 30-31 HZ 3.I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING AND AM USING A SHOP TO BUILD THE BOX 4.I'VE NEVER HAD A CUSTOM BUILD PORTED BOX MADE, I USUALLY USE SEALED BOXES 5.IT WILL BE HOLD 1 SSA DCON 12" DUAL 4OHM SUBWOOFER anything else that needs to be known???

The box is supposed to be 2.25ft^2 and the port is not built thats what Im trying to find out, how big do I need to make the port to get 30-31hz The tech page says 32.5in^2, but how long do I make it??? What more info do I need???

I have to agree, the logo needs work, and when you get the DVC version going, I might be interested. I would have given the ""SQL"" serious consideration against the DCON if it was DVC. I wonder how they stack up against each other???
