    XCON Box

    We love both subs in both boxes !!! The first box was the 3.5 ft3 one : it was impressive in his very small car (2 doors Renault Clio) on 1200 watts rms with stock electrical. I use this box in my car now with a 1500 watts amp : the car is bigger so there is less feeling of pressure in it. But it's loud AND accurate!!! The second box is bigger, with flared port : you can see it in my avatar. Both boxes are in my Gallery here. Take a look ! My friend is a box builder for a local shop. But we ordered these box designs from JBL Camry (Fisher Customs). My friend was very very happy : he learned how to make flared ports! First try, first success !!! He uses 2 sundown saz 1000 strapped on his xcon, and it is sooooo loud now !!! I can't say that this box sound better than this one : both are well built to specs, with the right port size, 45's everywhere,... I listened to both but with something different each time : different amps, different electrical systems(big 3 done for him, big 2 for me), different cars,... Now, my buddy wants a second Xcon and bought my saz 1000. He wants to run each xcon with 2 saz 1000 strapped at 2 ohms in a big box. I'm waiting for dimensions to ask JBL Camry for a box design. He will soon order a new xcon and a new saz 1000. Don't worry so much : throw it in your box and you'll see !!! Good luck !

    Box for 2 XCON 18s

    You don't need to run your saz 3500 at 0.5 ohm to have enough power ! Get 2 D1 subs to reach a final load of 1 ohm for the amplifier. It will be safer !!! 3500/2=1750 : it's exactly what the Xcon is rated for. Don't need to give them more. Good luck on your build ! Great choice of equipments !!!
  3. seems really loud ! I like the picture showing the 2 subs in the box, from the middle of the back windshield.

    When did SSA pick up Bravox?

    I hope to read some reviews soon ! I knew they were from Brasil, but that's all. Never read anything about them. Good move SSA !!! Glad to see some mids & highs on the shop !

    Alpine woofer improvements for 2010

    Can you tell us how you like the xcon after using type X ? Oh, only one Xcon ... don't know if it will be fair to compare one Xcon with 2 type X ?

    XCON Box

    My xcon 15 is in a 3.5 cu ft (net) box tuned to 32 Hz : and I love it ! amp Sundown saz 1500 One of my friend has his in a 3.7 cu ft box tuned to 32 Hz, amp (2 saz 1000 strapped) : it's wonderful, in his small car !

    Which One?!?!?!

    I feel the same with them !! (look at my sig, if you can) But I hope I am not wrong!!!!!!!!!! There are dozens of brands in the market, so, why just these 2 ? Maybe because of the ssa shop?

    ? about bl "

    WTF ? Do you think you can't get loud with BL's or BTL's ?
  15. Notorious97200

    What to expect?

    What kind of car do you have? Why don't you work on the springs? You can look for a good 10" sub with that amp.

    My 15" xcon in its new enclosure by audible customs

    There must be 2 wires that we can't see : one for the + and one for the -. Nice enclosure. Seems big and heavy ! How do you like the sound ? Have you tested it yet ?
  17. Notorious97200

    All BTL's like this?

    a BTL in your HT ? Damn... You must work for Fi !!! What kind of amp do yo have to push this sub ? Sorry OP !

    A vid of the Geo demmoing

    When I received my 15" Icon, I was playing that gucci Mane's song : the bass is insane ! You feel your stomach blowing !!! and I had a small and too highly tuned box. I have to find that song to play it with my xcon 15 in the right box now ! It will be hard. Poor Geo : the windshield try to escape from all that bass !

    in search of a low end monster

    To the OP : how can an Xcon cost € 600 ? I thought you lived in Germany, not on the moon ! Shipping costs can't be that high. Did you add customs taxes ? My Xcon went from SSA to France and then went back to me in the Caribbeans : yours won't travel so long ! I didn't pay 600 €.

    Daily driving sub stage

    You will end with 2 BTL's 18" ! or 2 Sundowns Nightshades (I think I've read somewhere that they don't need huge boxes) It seems that only 4 18's xcon can pleased you, but it's a lot of money to spend.

    How about that SSD?

    People use to talk about big woofers, like the bl, the btl,... Bigger is better for all the bassheads. That's why you did not find enough info about it ! But an ssd may be the right solution for you, or a Fi Q if you want. Just my 2 cents. Good luck
  22. Notorious97200

    Subwoofer recommendations

    Put your amps on each side of the trunk, on a piece of Mdf(for example). That will give you some more room for your enclosure. The 2 Icon's 10" in a ported box is a good idea if they can fit. The Fi bl 10" is another solution.

    Pair of 15inch Xcon

    30-32 Hz, and you should be fine ! Good luck on your build !
  24. Forget the 15" gti : too big, too expensive, not enough output, not reconable. But accurate as an SSA ICON !

    The xcon is an icon on steroïds !

    in search of a low end monster

    I've heared recently a JBL GTI 12" in a ported box, and I'm waiting for a box design for 2 GTI's 10". I don't know if the box for the 12" was good, but it sounded good in a trunk of a Mercedes. We even tried it with the trunk open. And we all liked it! They are pretty expensive in France, where do you live ? Ask ssa for a quote on one of their subs, to have an idea of the shipping costs. You may not have to pay taxes, if you're lucky, or if you know your business!!! There are different shipping methods, work on it ! If you can find locally a brand new 15" L7 for about 200 €, go for it ! It will give you what you need, but it's really not an Xcon! BTW take a look at the SSA Icon too : cheaper than the Xcon, it's the little brother !!! I loved mine (got it after some 15" Kicker L7's) until I got my Xcon.
