I have to drop one more update now that these pups are mostly broken in. They are absolutely phenomenal. Im in love! Flat as a pancake from 30-60, solid midbass rolloff so they blend well, and they can dig down to 25 before losing most of their output. Did I mention the really loud part on ~3k, yeah they do that really well too. I had a few friends throw random demo songs at them and everything sounded crisp,sexy, and loud. Thanks SSA!

I can't upload more files!!!! It looks great all installed too

Finally got them! First step was to mark my holes and add the inserts. This was my first time ever using them and it was definitely a painful process, but at least I learned along the way. I also kept a cutout in case one ever goes out I'll be able to run a single(with less power of course)

28" isn't anywhere near too long to be practical. That would mean no tlines are practical. Too small of a port creates several issues, what does too big of a port do? I always go as big as possible for my design (up to 16in/cube)

or 2x the current at the same wattage, probably more relevant, still probably as dangerous

Thanks! There isn't a lot of room to hook up to on the back of my terminal cup. Two dvc subs in parallel, this way each sub only needs two terminals instead of 4. I guess the colors could be confusing that was a test shot, of course it would be two + in one and two - in the other

Made some awesome progress this weekend!! Got my terminal hole cut then went to carpet town. Its hard to get the gloss metallic combo in a picture, this was the best closeup I could get Im very happy with the results. Of course there a few imperfections but thats DIY life. Up next is the wiring. My homemade terminals hold two strands of Sky High 8 gauge perfectly. Man I really want these subs to show up soon now that the box is finally ready. Stay tuned for their arrival!

Thanks everyone for the positive responses. I'm super anxious to get these bad boys running. It's going in a 2015 Honda Accord coupe. My last setup was a single sundown x8 and a fosgate r1200. Amp blew so I decided to just upgrade everything. X8 is on my bc3500 dmm'd at 1100 watts (before rise) right now while I wait. I've got an xs power d3400 and skyhigh 2/0 power/ground/big 3. Ill probably need another batt and maybe alternator, but I'm waiting to see how voltage looks before spending a ton more money.

There are two things I have never had since I got "serious" into car audio. A 10" sub, or a decent dual sub setup. So this is my build for two 10" xcons! Im super excited, they should be finished building and arriving soon, I hope. I am fitting the maximum dimensions of my trunk while still being able to fold up the stock floor and access the spare tire. I was left with 3.11 internal cubic feet without sub, bracing, 45s, or port displacement. This is firing into the car, so I also needed the subs and port to be on the same face. The triangle port is unconventional but takes up less volume than a typical slot port inside the box and also has less port wall surface area, so I'm hoping it works out. That angle took some wizardry to figure out, and it still came out a little crooked but oh well. The "45s" are little pine cove trim pieces, figured this is the best I can do without sacrificing internal volume. I used minimal bracing but it should be enough, and undercoated everything with two cans, I honestly dont think it does anything but I like to do it on my boxes. it gives a solid completed look to the inside of the box and its extra leak insurance. Final volume and tuning should be 2.4 cubes at 31 hz with 25 sq in port area. The box is a little too small and the port is a little too small, but its all the space I have. Got some black base down and some custom copper orange pearl, trying my best to match the faceplate of my Crecendo BC3500. All thats left is to carpet it with black felt, wire the drivers in, and go to town!

those look really nice too but i'm only gonna buy 1 sub instead of 2 to try and save space. i dont think 1 SSD is enough output for what i'd like With proper install and the right power, i forsee 1 ssd with flatwind and bp power being louder than the 2 cvrs... Also the ssd with these options is cheaper than the q, handles more power than the q, and will still have much more quality than the kickers... I feel like thats a decent transition into the world of quality subs, q is meant not to be played as loud as it can, so i just recommend against it, although it would in no way dissapoint you, just us. Happy hunting

So lately one of my friends insists that we "have a concert" every time were in my car because hes never really heard any good speaker setups and mines the best hes heard, but all I have are kicker ssmb6 midbass on ~55 watts and 3.5 coaxials in pods on the a pillars run off the HU. The sound impresses him but if its going to be a concert I want a louder more full sound. I dont know much about what component sets are good and I was hoping for some input as to what I should get, assuming a passive component set will be a decent improvement. SQ isnt the most important thing, I really just want a loud clear full sound. This is going in my honda accord and I only have about 2" of mounting depth so I have to make a baffle no matter what, but 3" depth is probably the maximum. I want to spend less than 300 on this, and the cheaper the better. Ive looked at the following so far... Rainbow SLC, SLC kick, NG, i really dont know the difference in these nor could I find much info Image dynamics CTX65CS Morel tempo 6 Focal 165 v1 Im know there are plenty more out there and Im looking for the loudest fullest sound I can get while still being clear off of my 55w x 4 amp. Thanks ahead of time for any input.

what about 2 15" btls in 7-8 cubes you could use less power, so in the end youll have less sub weight, less amp weight, and less batt weight, and it will still get crazy low/loud. Idk thats probably what i would do but its not my setup nor do i have that money lol

So last summer I was on an unknown mic at a local audio shop and hit 148.2 with my 15" Fi Q on 1500 watts. I knew that was way too high so I had always been curious what id get on the TL. Today I found out that number is a 142.26 in the dash with driver window down, and 140.xx sealed up. I dont think thats too bad considering what my sub has been through... First I blew it so i tore it apart, recoiled it, and patched the spiders Then the magnet cracked/shifted so I shimmed it and epoxied the hell out of it Then the cone blew apart, epoxied once again Ran off a clarion dpx11500 (1500 rms at 1 or 2 ohm) at 1 ohm with the gain about 1/3 up, peaked at 36hz in my 4 cubes @ 31hz box in my 2000 honda accord... I dont think thats too bad at all, all things considered.

SSD ftw dont buy square garbage

I first got the idea from your setup to be honest lol, its very nice btw. I set it up with a side port like that but then realized it wouldnt work in my trunk, so I had to have it setup like this. The important thing is it is definitely 32 with the plug in and something higher than 32 with it out to help for spl.
