Wow does that look good! Nice work man.

Bumps

Quentin knows his shit man. Listen to him! Also quit typing with everything underlined its annoying as hell.

Bump!!

Welcome!

28w x 14h x 11d 1.4 cubes sealed That's with a double baffle. Do you need a 3d sketch up or do you got it?

Just talked to crescendo and they said that they did ship out all orders last Wednesday, may 22.

Yea definitely Pandora.

Was there a new song that was played? Might of had a lot of distortion.

I got you man. I already have the design done. Do you want a 3d design?

Okk but I went with non car audio battery, the diehard platinum which everyone was saying was great. Do you think the Walmart would be better than the platinums?

I thought of that as soon as you posted lol where I'm at its 34 a sheet so like 40 for everything. I paint my boxes so I always have extra paint. Ohh and don't use terminals. Just cut a hole in the box and caulk it up when you push wires through. Saves money and is just as effective. You know for future reference.

Are you saying it's that good of a batt? Or what it cost compared to its performance is good? Never thought to look at walmarts batteries. I've heard they weren't good. Maybe I heard wrong; I'd like to know more!

Day dreaming is very fun lol welcome to ssa

Finally someone comes in to help say what im saying lol maybe he will get the power thing now.

Yea I know it's not a volume knob and only matches up the voltage on the hu. I think we're just saying the same thing different. For mine I just had to remove 6 push clips and the whole thing came off so was just throwing ideas out there since mine didn't need any tools. Yea I understand your frustration with not having a system work like you planned. I had the 2 Zcon 12s but it wouldn't work like I hoped so everyone suggest just 1 ported so I went that way and was more than happy. If I were you I'd just try one ported. If you need I can design the box and it should be only ~40 dollars to make if you build it yourself. Worth a shot and if not you can sell the box for more lol

Also can you take the plastic and rubber around the trunk opening to get more room. I did that and was able to get about 1.5 inches in height and 2 inches in width extra!

Amps don't have to be matched to the subs rating at all. Like I said you could have a 10k rms amp on them as long as things are set correctly. Maybe the amp was fucked up resulting in the buzzing. What are you max dimensions. Is the .35 under the optimal or non optimal recommended? I thought you meant .7 under each lol I'm not sure what you mean, are you saying halving the impedance meaning more power? I was saying if just doubling cone area it will be 3db gain. That's in a perfect world. May not be true in real world installs though. But doubling the power will get you a 3db gain too which I think it what you mean. I would rather have a single sub in the best box you can have vs 2 subs in an okay box. I've done that before with 2 ssa zcons. They were in a box that wasnt the best so I switched to 1 and it was way louder and sounded a lot better. I have a 2012 fusion with all the stock stuff like you have and I wanted to keep it. I bought the lc2i and tapped into the rear speakers. I have my sub and amp on it now and works perfect. I also have my coaxials (until my crescendo comps come whenever that is lol) on an amp as well. I have no problems and I didn't have to do any phasing or anything like that.

Do you plan to upgrade? If so I would go with diehard platinum g31. If not then platinum g34. Your going to need 0 ga for running it from front battery and 2 fuses, one on each end of pos run.

You must of had settings wrong on the amp then. Probably wasnt due to box since it was sealed. Forgot it wasn't ported. Not really sure what the buzzing sound you mean? Can you explain that a little more? Must of been something wrong with the amp since it worked fine with the other. You don't need to give them the extra power though. Just make sure the settings on the amps are correct and you won't have to worry about anything going wrong. I mean what's holding you back with goin with 2 ported? And to correct you on that, it's a 3db gain when you double cone area. You don't need to throw your experience out there because obviously if you have been doing this for so long you would already know these questions your asking. Are you talkin about the phase knob on the amp (0-180 degrees)? I'm pretty sure that's only there so if you invert the subs and allows you not to have to re wire the sub backwards.

Your welcome. Keep checking back to see if anyone can add anything to help you out.

Sometimes you can't find everything. You can call or email FI for those specific ones or just leave it blank and the program will fill them in with what they think it would be(I think). Dia is diameter of the sub so 15.

You must of had the settings wrong on the amp and/or box was shitty. I guess ssa underrated their subs if you want to say since they are proven to take a shit ton more power than their rated but in reality it's not needed AT ALL. When I said just because it's rated for 1000rms at 1 ohms doesn't mean it has to or will always put out that much at 1 ohm. Honestly who gives a fuck if its underrated by 30% lol for a daily setup you wouldn't hear 1000rms from 1300rms. Why can you only go with one? What's the reason for that? Any failure of the sub is always user error either by setting things up wrong or not knowing the signs of the subs stressing like mentioned above. It you can manage both of those you will never have a sub fail on you.

It doesn't matter if you have a 10k rms amp on them. Just set the gain to right before you hear the sub stress. You will be fine with that amp. Just because its rated for what it is doesn't mean it will put out that much power. Like I said make sure you use your senses to know when the subs are being pushed to hard (listen for distortion, smell coil). I would suggest a new box though. That way it's made exclusively for you dcons. If you need a box design I can definitely help you with that. Then if you or someone you know can build it.
