    Question about power, and impedance.

    Try opening a window and/or a door....may give you an idea if it's a loading problem if it gets significantly louder right away...

    Question about power, and impedance.

    Could it be something so simple like you wiring the two voice coils out of phase by mistake? It would be seeing a low impedance, and the sub would try like crazy to produce...just would cancel and heat the coils up...I know you aren't a noob, but hey, it happens sometimes....

    Quick build of box for SA-8 in center console

    The review will be soon...as far as video, I don't know how much it would be interesting to everyone, it's firing down so you can't really see it. I'll see what I can come up with soon....

    Quick build of box for SA-8 in center console

    Thanks, stock look is what I went for, other than the carpet of it is much cleaner than my hooptie van's carpet is...lol. I'm going to give a full opinion on sound quality/output...I used to do a lot of USAC and IASCA competitions so I have a pretty good idea what sounds good...

    Great service SSA!

    Just wanted to write a quick thanks to SSA here...preordered a Sundown SA-8 a few weeks ago...Got an e-mail confirming the order and payment was made almost immediately. Received my sub today. LOVE it so far! Main thing I have to say is your communication during the sale is TREMENDOUS...got the confirmation e-mail, a status order letting me know you were waiting on Sundown to get them, and then a status update saying they were shipped including the tracking number! Great service guys, and I'm already trying to talk a few friends into trying some of the SSA subs now! Thanks, Mick S.

    Great service SSA!

    Once I get a nicer vehicle again, you can bet I'll be ordering more equipment from you!

    Here's a couple different styles...

    1999 Tahoe SAE1200 on 2 12" Fi Q's

    Most car audio shops carry an extended bolt for GM side terminals...they usually also have a threaded part and nut to add more connections on too. Usually only a few dollars.

    Team Sundown Russia -- 160 dB No-Wall

    Great numbers! The crazy part of the video is seeing that the other guy was only .2 behind...had to kill him to lose that one...lol
  16. Thanks...that should hopefully give me what I need!
  17. This may sound strange, but I was wondering what would be involved with getting more details on the actual dimensions of the ZCON and XCON 15" Basically like the magnet diameter, thickness of it, etc. (an actual technical drawing would be great too!) Reason I ask is I am working on a design for my friend's car and have enough cubic feet but limited height to work with, so I'm trying to see if I can make one of these fit. I want him to be an SSA guy if possible! Thanks in advance!

    dd vs. dc vs.fi vs. treo

    And to add...do some people take the forum maybe a little too seriously? Possibly...but most guys on here seem like they genuinely want to help others out. The fact that someone can come on here and spout off and then say "yo chill the fuck out delete the account for all i care" shows how little they care about what most of us have a lot of love for, maybe even an obsession!

    dd vs. dc vs.fi vs. treo

    I think the laziness of not using punctuation along with the bad spelling isn't the problem, it's the fact that it makes it a tough read...It's difficult for someone to answer a question accurately when you don't understand the question because it makes no sense!
  20. It had mounting depth, mounting diameter, outside diameter, etc, but I need a little more info unfortunately. I'm trying to figure out if I have enough face height with an angle to fit them. Thanks for the reply though!

    XCON 10" Anyone?

    Sexy little beast! Never heard an XCON yet and these pics make me want one!

    1 sundown SA8 enough?

    I actually ordered an SA-8 for myself. As soon as it comes in I'll give my opinions. Just knowing the average person (I worked at a shop for a long time so I saw what people wanted a lot) a single 10" or 12" gives the all around sound, output, and impact most people crave. I am going the SA-8 in mine only because it's a center console enclosure, so it's right there near me so the impact will be more. Admittedly though, I have yet to hear the SA-8 so I can't say for sure it wouldn't be enough for him.

    1 sundown SA8 enough?

    I think I have to agree with //M5 here. For the average person, a 10" will do what most people want, especially in a trunk. From all the reviews everyone gives, something like a DCON 10 sounds like a great option, small enclosure size (1-1.25 ported), good sound quality. Just my 2 cents.

    My past installs

    Most of these installs were done when I worked at a shop in Akron for about 10 years.

    Center Channel

    We used to do a lot of full USAC shows with our shop vehicle, and never lost a show. We used to steal a mono signal off one of the front amps, and use an l-pad to attenuate the center. Worked phenomenally with no other processing. The trick was keeping the level very low, just enough to sense some sound, but not too much that you knew where it was coming from. We used to get a lot of great imaging scores and comments from the judges about how great the depth was, without hurting the width. Like I said, watch the level of it and you will be fine. I realize some people may not like it, but give it a try. You may really like it. Heck, you can even hook up a speaker in a small enclosure first before you try cutting a hole for it, that way if you don't get what you like out of it, no harm done...
