Well as the title says just payed for 2 12 inch zcons dual ones The Car : 94 bmw 325i Electrical : xs power d3100, xp3000, mechman 320 alt. 2/0 welding cable in the rear soon to be 4 more runs of kicker hyper flex 2+, 2- for a total of 6 if needed Amps: pair of planet audio bb2400.1 strapped @ 1 ohm (.5 per amp) Subs: soon to be 2 12inch ZCONS dual 1 the question 1 : will this be enough power to push them ?? q 2: what do you guys, girls run to your zcons ?? q3 : how long was your build time for them ?? if you remember that is any info is appreciated

on to the BOXXX lol going to be galssing the inside with resin and fiberglass mat soon for now there going in my ol box

thanks i just hope my amps can push them for now till i can afford to sound deaden my trunk and floor then ill be on a mission to order something bigger or even run 4 of the amps instead of the two that i have

Thanks Boss hopefully Yes for the time being ive herd some people say its not enough some say it is if needed i can order another and switch up box designs or something will be tune to 5 cf 29 hz subs forward port driver side rear if there is port noise and or poor performance i know right i hate to see what happens when they are loading and unloading them but that aside they only traveled a very sort distance so i hope all is well

the zcon Have Arrived although i seen the Dam ups guy drop it off his truck from the top step in the front it rolled and my heart Dropped but i inspected it and its seem a ok here are some pictures didnt know to start a build log or maybe a mod can move thiss?? anyways onto the pics of the new STUFF lol New New radio lol and a 6 inch aero new box being built tomorrow

Hey guys i know i may sound like a straight noob i apologize before hand but this is really driving me crazy!! I have gone step by step one for one and have isolated that the radio is the cause of the issue or the alternator, i have tried running new rca's from the head unit, ive tried pulling the eq out of the equation but still the same noise. I have tried different radios: older alpine 9887 or something like that, a walmart pioneer deck, and just today an alpine cde-123 and still the same thing!! I have two ground points from the alt to the strut tower and 2/0 from the batteries to the factory rear ground post. Tomorrow when i get home from work im going to run 2 ground leads ( just got more wire in) i have tried running a power/ ground 16 gauge wire from the rear amp distro block to the radio / eq and same deal. I also tried a new harness and even tried grounding by the firewall Im trying to avoid using a ground loop isolator but it seems like the only hope i have in a quite system P.S I also tried grounding the pioneer deck at the rcas and same thing help!! plz

Hey Aaron would you be able to check on these two orders for me please getting all antsy in my pants lol # 3359, # 3357

#2585, #3359, #3357

very nice i think im going to hav to pick up a few can up that great stuff have you ever tryed the black one ? its supposed to expand more

the ohm load would have to end up being a choice of having one or two btls. also how loud are you trying to get ? how much space for a box do you have whats your budget? how much power do you want to run ? is it a trunk car or wall or back seat as for where the box is going to go

is there like a chart or maybe a rule of thumb for power vs wire size ratings?

i play my sa -12s around 31 hz tuning bass mechanic drops real low you should be alright and theres a write up some where around here ill see if i can find it real quick with a dmm http://www.club3g.com/forum/car-audio-electronics/120365-how-properly-set-your-amplifier-gains-using-dmm-method-please-sticky.html

I'm thinking this is going to be the next box any input suggestions? Also this box will be fiber glassed inside, resin a matt gross volume 7.18 port area 70 in^2 port area per ft 12.30 in^2 net volume 5.69 (2.845 per sub) tune 37.62 hz

then again i dont think he was putting a hell of alot of power to his sub lolol two dc 5ks i think he said he had a bl but none the less im sure it should be able to take that amp np..

thats a nice looking box and especially for your second one lol i member when i was 14 and making a ported box 3/4 inch ports homedepot carpet ahh good old times held together with screws and silicon lol

Thanks I hope I can get it louder at least a lil bit ..

voltage dropp when the two amps are at 2 ohms so 4 ohms strapped also before the sound deaner

my bad i got caught up with work wonder why i never got email resposes hmm but here are some pictures of whats in there atm.. what i use to set my gains.. the 320 amp alt the sa -12s box tuned to around 35 hz my two batterys 2/0 welding cable thats All i gots for now should be more to come as i get it on a side note should i fiber glass the spare tire well into the intrunk box or would it cause more issues then benefits??

I've run my Zcon 18 on 5k for sometime, but it takes some experience to run that much power without any problems. If you plan on running a ton of power make sure your box is on the small side.. I've learned this the hard way when upgrading power. Lower power = Big box, Lots of power = small box. Current lead time is about 3 weeks excluding weekends. ahh thats better then 4 weeks gotcha trying to get a bit wider port then what i have probably going to build a in trunk box once i completely finish the electrical upgrades I'm running 1200 to mine in a 6cu box So I think you will be ok. But will be running 2500 soon. A few other members are running 5k (smartly) 3-4 weeks would be good estimate i plan on up grading to around a single 5 k once i get rid of these amps and subs (sa-12s) still dont know exactly to what atm though

q1:its going to be a trunk box so about 2.5 at most per sub around 35 hz q2: lol thats good info on that speaker wire thing what i ment to say is rms power wise per sub q3: have to get the rental card out and pick it up then pass out for around a month how big of a box do you have them in ? and figured something like that

Hey guys to give a little info on my set up so far, I'm sort of on a budget but in need of bass who isnt right? Well i bought 2 2010 kicker cvr 12"s for $100 for the pair going to have them on a crunch pzi. 1500 i know p.o.s amp but its what i got for now the box specs. are: 30 inch wide X 14 height X 29 deep. Port is going to be 4 inches wide X 12.5 inch tall X 18.5 inches depth tuned to 32 hz with 45* in the corners each sub is getting 2.486635 cubic feet each would this box sound good or what should i add or take off. Any info or input would be greatly appreciated

hey guys should i build this or should i just keep it simple i have no experience designing an 4th order and would hate to waist 2 sheets of mdf if some one has input for a better enclosure lol its going to be a 1:2 chamber ratio rear is going to be 1.28 after displacements front is going to be 2.76 cf tuned to 36.09 box peaks at 33.79 at 6.69 db and here are pics of what i imagined

so after reading around alot i have came up with this my tune was wayy to low so i brought it up to 50 hz also made the sealed chamber 2 and the ported 2.11 tuned to 50 hz here are some pics

well according to this calculator that i have and the specs you gave with 1.5 inch thick wood you have a gross volume of 20.42cf with sub displacement around .42 <-- not sure on this number it says your net volume just for subs is 13.06 ft^3 and a 40.09 hz tune.. with 35 inches high 9 width and 20.5 length port (you gave a port length of 38 but you have to take wood thickness away being its a 1.5 below and on top..
