x 2 DARVEX has it all !

Sealed boxes are easier to build, but they will not give you max output. I'm sure an Xcon can get really loud in sealed boxes too ! But, loud for somebody is not always loud for others.

Before I saw this box, I was proud of mine !!! But now,...!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

x 2 Your friends will hate you when they listen to the xcon, unless they have several Kicker subs in their trunk !!! Find some music with really low bass notes, and your xcon will make you LOVE it !!!

Welcome ! Take a look at the ssa shop to see what they got. Here are some brands to look at : SSA, Fi, Sundown audio, DC,...and many more. I would love to try a single 18" in my car, but I don't have room for that!!

With such a customer service, I can't buy any other amps in the market!!! :)

A 12" in the optimum enclosure must be loud as f... It can leave you some room in your cargo area to give the amps some fresh air ! I run a 15" xcon in a 3.5 cu ft net ported box. I love it, but I bought the 15" only because I already had the box for the 15". I would have bought the 12" instead!!!

I say xcon FTMW !!!

I am always afraid when I order something online. When I use UPS, my items goes to France, and then cross the ocean a second time to arrive in Martinique, in the Carribeans : it's such a long road !!! I always pick my orders at the airport, because UPS will take at least 2 days to deliver !! Fedex is really faster, they can deliver in 3 days from California !!! And they have beautiful women working for them : it's a pleasure to stop at their office !!! USPS : ONE MONTH for anything !!! They give you enough time to forget what you ordered !!! So far, I've never had any broken items delivered. But some items never came !! Hopefully, it was on ebay and paid with Paypal, so I got refunded easily!

It's not easy to look at your small pics on photobucket mobile ! I gave up. The link doesn't work for me on youtube.

Big box ! How do you like it ?

What do you plan for frontstage ? With so much bass, you will need something powerful !!! That enclosure is sick ! I have one 15" xcon in my car, but I can't imagine 2 of them pounding right in my back !!!!!!! Congratulations !!! BTW Hemi is on the forum for several years, and it's only his first post ! (Was he locked somewhere ? )

You can use an amplifier to run these speakers. a simple 2 channnel amp if you go with a component set(passive), or a 4 channel amp if you buy one pair of tweeters and one pair of mids(active).

Nice build, Congrats !

With a big box like that, you can have a great subwoofer setup! Sundown Z or SA, ssa xcon, Fi ssd or bl,....... I don't know anything about your amp, but can you keep it for now, and get a really good 15" sub , or 2 smaller ones ? You will change the amp later if you feel the need.

a 10" in the doors? Dam...! BTW I would love to see how you instal the horns in your car.

Take a look at the ssa shop, and at the Fi website, and then come back with some more specific questions. What do you listen to, in what car, electrical upgrades, box specs(if you can) ...? You can find much better subs than the AQ sdc and Hifonics amps!! Here are some brands to look at : Fi, SSA, Sundown, DC, ...etc Good luck !

It not painted yet ?! It's already sooooo beautiful. Your customer will love it. I hope he's strong, because these babies will hit him hard !!!!!!!!!

Beautiful work ! Congratulations !! Better save for some good deadener, because this trunk will be louder than the subs! The subs seem so close of the trunk.

These door panels really look like stock ones ! Great build! for a first fiberglass work, it is wonderful. Congratulations

Hi all, A friend of mine has a 15" xcon DVC1 in a 3.7 cu ft box (32 Hz tuning, flared port)Look at my avatar : it's his box !! He uses 2 Sundown saz 1000 d amps strapped to run the sub. Now, he wants another xcon 15 and 1 more saz 1000 (he just bought mine ). Here is the question : What would you do ? Build another same box for the second xcon, or build a new box for 2 xcons ? He is the box builder, so there is no problem to build boxes. What are the pros and cons of your choices ? Thanks for your help !!! (He has room in the car, no backseats, he knows he has to upgrade the electrical system for more than 4000 watts !)

ok thanks. I will tell him it's better to make a box for both subs, with a lot of bracing. But it will be hard to move in and out of the car !!! So, it's up to him !!!

Hello, It is just a little review of my last subwoofer. I was running an Icon 15 dvc 2 in a 3.5 cubic feet box tuned at 32 Hz. The box was designed by Fisher customs and built by a friend for his xcon. He since, changed box, so I managed to get the old one! The Icon is one of the most accurate sub I've ever heared. I love the fact that it is loud but can play ALL the bass notes. Lot of subs plays all the notes, but this one is quite flat : like if all the notes are played at the same (high) volume. (My vocabulary is limited, so I can't really explain everything as I would !!!) The amp is a Sundown saz 1000 d. My car is a hatchback Toyota Auris.

I am sure you would love the xcon 12" : so much bass for one driver ! I've never listened to an IA LI or a SA12, so, I can't compare. I just know the xcon is badass !!! I love it, and everybody in my town is scared when they make a listen : so much accuracy and so much power from the very LOW notes to 80 Hz. Friday night it was "jaws dropping time" !!! Nobody dare to say anything, but I could see no one was speaking when I played my system. It was like "OMG" for everybody. They all have monster spl setups though !!!

Icon and Q are in the same league : great sq, but great output too. It seems to be what you need, but the "high volume" point makes people think about the bl or other loud drivers for you ! It will be difficult to find a used Xcon, but that would be your best choice IMO. Xcon = best of both world !!!
