Doctor Q

whenever i know im going to be in a bad part of town i usually slap a RD sticker on my car to deter the robbers from stealing my shit....

hmmm the dcons..............badass?

bmw..... most bmws are more fun than most audis plus bmw reliability > audi reliability. (fact not opinon) for all of the newer models of BMWs and Audis, from the models that have been rated and tested, BMW comes out on top. Also, for used cars, some of Audi models made the worst of the worst list and there were a couple BMWs on the good/best list.... overall, if I was looking for a new or used car strictly for reliability, I would not choose either of these companies; however, I would be willing to risk it with the Bimmers because as long as you take care of them they will be fine. LEXUS RELIABILITY FTW BMW PERFORMANCE FTW .....but Audi has some badass new LED headlights

Try Youtube, they can be embedded. videos are up... atleast a few. check my thread: (4) 10" SSA Dcons - SSA Car Audio Forum - Page 2 Sounds wierd on video, much better in person. also worked them hard today so ill be giving my babies a rest the rest of the day I wish we had more Dcon installs like your's. thank you, coming from you that is quite the compliment. I absolutely love SSA products and have recommended them time and time again to all of my friends. I wish i had a hatchback or SUV so i could get a pair of 15" or 18" Xcons. Thatd be nasty. But im stuck with my volvo, but im making it work. The reason I say that is, most all of our Team or member rides installs are Icon's or Xcon's. There are a few Dcon installs, but few are all that individual, where yours is a more complex in terms of a sealed off trunk enclosure. In a way, I don't want the Dcon's to be overshadowed by the Monster that is the Xcon and the model that made the brand what it is, the Icon, as they are great drivers in their own right. Thats true. and the Dcons are NOTHING to laugh at. They're perfect for me. Especially since my problem was my electrical. I was unable to run over 1000 watts and I have 1500 so it was either 4 dcons or 1 icon and i thought 4 10's would be fun. I love them and wouldn't change my decision if I could. The "wow" factor is huge too when people peek inside the back seats and see 4 subwoofers staring at them.... riding in the back of my car is fun

Thanks man. thats what i like to hear.

anytime, sorry it took so long to get done and posted

Here are some more pictures of my 15% all around that i took today while taking videos... keep in mind thats also at like 9 or 10 in the morning and it was not that sunny. Gives me most the privacy I need except sunny days it looks like its 35%. From about 5 or 6pm or later you cant see much of anything and past 7 its pitch black.

thats nice. actually thats exactly what i deicded on finally doing... 5% all around and 35% on shield leme know how you like the windshield and especially some info on how it is at night with visibility and all and if it rains. thanks man

Here are some pictures.... My Ride Four little monsters SSA knows what they're doing Nice ass shot (ill get a night pic later with the neon) Similar to the second shot Dustcap And my favorite shot of the day... (damn that seatbelt)

Ok FINALLY I got some videos up. I got a few more but want to find a better way to upload these. The sound is not reproduced well and it doesnt sound very loud but I can assure you its pretty loud. Just from doing these videos my ears were hurting and buzzing for awhile. Also, I have never driven these subs this far. Especially on the lower notes, im usually more careful but after each video I smelled the subs/port and got nothing... also subs and amp got luke-warm at best... not hot at all. Also, the flex... you can see some of it, but alot of it you cant see from these videos. Everything flexes and vibrates (mirrors, rearview mirror, windows, side panels, trunk, windshield moves some, and the doors come in and out but you cant see most of this on video. Subs are outstanding. I got some more pictures ill post too... Enjoy I couldnt find a good place to upload, both photobucket and youtube were being wierd so i used motion box or something like that... Also, sorry for my voice, i just woke up and just getting over a cold. And im too lazy to edit otherwise id make these a little nicer haha. This just runs over what I have as in audio equip and tint... nothing important really: MOV01137.MPG from alexp073 on Motionbox Here is the first video.... Fell the Bass II, its a bass test and also All Black (slowed down in audacity): MOV01138.MPG from alexp073 on Motionbox Alrite... here is the second video. This is just playing test tones in 5hz increments from 55hz down to 20hz both inside and outside the car: MOV01139.MPG from alexp073 on Motionbox This video shows the air being moved, i used red wrapping paper. Used Iced Up by Gucci Mane (slowed down on audacity): MOV01141.MPG from alexp073 on Motionbox Hope you enjoyed. Whenever I have time again Ill take more with more songs. I meant to do a different All black. I have an even more slowed down version. Flex shows some in the video but trust me its way more in reality. Also sounds wierd on video. Very proud and happy customer here though. Alex "Doctor Q"

hey guys. i just took the videos this morning and will be uploading them as soon as i find a good site.... photobucket isnt recognizing them as videos, but rather photos.

VIDEO! VIDEO! VIDEO!

like to see a cool kids fan X2! X3 x4 haha and if my memory serves me right, Flossin is pretty good too. Atleast for bass.. makes my speedometer needle hop all over the place

I disagree.... first of all "best" is way to general but by best, that should include all areas, which BMWs are not that reliable... right now the only decently reliable bimmer that i can think of is the 3 series..... you want "best" car??? Try lexus. They have performance, reliability, comfort, everythingg.. only negative is price but that doesnt take away from the amazing quality of their cars. atleast IMO... and im not a bmw hater. my dad has a 335i and i effing love the car... i just think there are more reliable cars out there (But holy cow that 335i is a monster!)

limo tint is usually 5% and thanks.

thanks. thats exactly what i needed. and when you say takes getting used to at night u mean having the sides dark right?

no this is not overly negative, but i understand what you are sayin first, i understand the dangers of dark tint at night but most of my driving is done during the day and when i do go out at night, i can just roll down the side windows because it is never too cold for me to do that hardly... second, this summer i will have to leave my car out in the sun alot and want to protect interior as much as possible. third, security... my subs fire into the cabin and most of the time I have my rear seats folded down and I dont want people to see the subs fourth, i just like privacy and people not being able to see ANYTHING in my car. I dont know why but thats just me fifth and lastly, i am not very worried about cops because they do not harass people in my area unless you are being a complete idiot or they are having a bad day... also i know how to hande the situation if i am stopped.... roll down all windows, both hands on steering wheel, keys on dash, dome lights on.... make them feel comfortable so that their nerves are not worked up before they even speak to you and more than likely as long as you are polite they will not give me a ticket for just tint. I have passed by 100s of cops at night when you cant see in my car at all and sat next to them at stoplights, etc and never once been stopped so i think cops are pretty chill here about tint. If not then ill learn and go back to 15%.... as of now I am thinking abnout 5% all aorund + 50 or 35 on shield but just want to hear some feedback from people that have 5 all the way around.... how much can you see in during the day if its sunny out? obviously night gives a little trouble seeing but im already used to dark tint at night and backing up wont be a problem once i get my backup cam.

first of all whats "PC" mean? haha sorry. also yeah backing up is already hard with 15% but im getting a double din video HU with backup camera so that is why im willing to go pretty much as dark as anything on back windows. Im obviously already illegal now and I know that the new tint will be illegal last thing is i got mine done at a place called England Bros and they charged $225 for all around and it was 15% and a guy at Custom Daves near Charlotte quoted $140 all around and he gets great reviews and uses Suntek Carbon film so I can't decide to go 5% all around with him and pay $140 or if I should go back to England Bros and add another layer of 15% which would then be 2.25% all around or even a layer of 5% on top of my 15% which would be .75% but I think that may be too dark haha. PC is probable cause...probable cause to pull your ass over whenever they feel like it. That, I dont like. I would just add an additional layer to get you to 5% or wherever. IMO it shouldnt be any less than that for a civilian daily driver. Doesnt make sense unless its just for show. Alrite. Well so far Ive had 15% all around and never been stopped and legal here is 35% all around... basically as long as im doing what im supposed to ill never get stopped for JUST tint... (knock on wood) so could there be any problems with adding a layer of tint to a different layer (as in company)... for example. I have 15% Llumar right now, atleast thats what they told me they used and lets say for whatever reason they changed companies and use a different tint now.. could that be a problem (besides transmitting signals)

I have 4 10" Dcons and Im loving them. You wont be disappointed. Infact I ran short on space.... couldn't fit a bigger box through the opening but I still managed to get toward the "optimum recommended enclosure size". These subs are awesome. I keep putting off making a video and I really owe it to you guys so I will definitely try to get some pictures and a couple videos up soon. (I believe someone told me if I have some nice pics I might be put on the site and that'd be sick )

when do you think you'll be grabbing this... right now im leaning toward the alpine just because ive watched videos on it and reviews but there isnt much out for the 4200 since its new. Only a few videos from CES 2010. id like to find a video on the 4200 from a owner not a rep and see what they say and all the options etc.

is there anything you dont like about it?

thats a good point. i love alpine's interface and compatibility with apple products which is why currently i am leaning toward the alpine but im trying to justify the extra $100 or so.... I am selling my sub for 250-275 plus im hoping i could get around 199 for the headunit so thats like 450ish for both which leaves me to come up with 150 for the HU and another 125 for a backup camera i really like so i need 275... but i can do that.... is there anyone that has had experience with the alpine ixa-w407 and could shed some light there are only two small things i am worried about.... there is no optical drive for CDs or DVDs and i have heard with lots of music it is a) hard to scroll through and b) slows the unit down but idk. these arent to big of problems though I think I am going to go to an audio store nearby and test one out and then decide. Also anyone interested in a custom sub box for a 15" or a 15" Fi Q w/ BP or some speakers out of a 2009 wrangler (infinity) PM me.
