I saw a friend running a Sundown NS-1 witout using all the inputs. It worked, but shut off after some time demoing ! I wouldn't do it, personnally.

There is no JL hate here. We all know they make very good products. The W7 is a good sub. I understand it might be frustrating, because you wanted answers we can't give you ! Build your ported box, tune to 34 Hz, with the volume you want/can, and have fun ! It will be much louder than sealed. If you don't like it, build another box, and so on ! Good luck.

Here is mine. I bought the wood ring at a local car audio shop. I don't have the tools to do it. I still need to work on the doors. I will buy everything from Sounddeadenershowdown or from secondskin.

You have nice equipments so far. Personnally I would do the Big3 in 0 Ga, then add the 2nd battery if you have it already. Get a good voltmeter to watch your voltage, and play ! If you dig too deep (less than 12.5-12v) you will need something else : maybe a second battery, maybe an HO alternator. I don't know before you try. Good luck.

Some amps have a "mirror setting option", like the Incriminator Audio ones : you have one amp per sub, but you set only the first one. All the settings go to the other amp with just the mirror link. I like that possibility. A friend of mine ran 2 pair of Sundown SAZ 1000's on 2 Xcons (later on 2 BTL) : They last for years before he sold them in mint conditions !

Killer install Congrats

Tuned in. I like where you're going with this build.

I always wanted to try a set of those gti's. They're on the market for years. I wanted a set of those when I blew one of my mids. I could not find none, so I asked for advice here and I bought a pair of Seas. I'm happy with them, hopefully !

I loved all the SSA subs I had : Icon, Xcon, and now Zcon ! This Gcon should sound good in a sealed box. Specs must be listed on the site. Run this amp in 2 channel mode on this sub if you want. Usually bridge mode is at 4 Ohms, but I don't know this amp.

It works now. Pc ok. Phone ok I can log in too. Great.

Big problems with Firefox on pc and Mac. Problems on Safari (mac) too. I can't access from my iPhone 6 now (and the new mobile site was very nice). everything was ok after the site upgrade though.

I had a set of Focal 165KP, on a powerful amp (2 x 225 w rms @ 4 OHms). I loved it for (8) years. The I finally blew a mid : I think a lead went bad and I tried to fix it. Impossible. M5 told me about the SEAS Prestige and I bought them. I was afraid to run those because of the 8 Ohms impedance, instead of 4. I hooked them on the inputs of the Focal passive filters, and kept the tweeters on those filters. First listening session put a big smile on my face. It really was not a downgrade from the Focal. No tuning, no eq, nothing, and I loved it ! Then I bought a mini dsp to set my x-overs and adjust everything. I'm still playing with the dsp, but not so much (I need time). I must say those speakers sound VERY good. I hate those PA style speakers that screams, like Barry White sings like Celine Dion ! Those Seas are "warm", accurate. Not Cheap too ! They do get loud ! In that active way, the mids are on 2 channels of my amp, and the tweeters are on the last 2. This amp is rated at 4 x 65 w rms @ 4 Ohms. So I don't know how many watts at 8 Ohms ! Not much, but they're loud enough for me. I did not loose anything from the Focal to this set of Seas Prestige. (They're a little bigger than the KP, 6.5" to 7"). I am very very happy with this purchase. Good luck. BTW this forum is amazing, you'll get the best advices available.

I'll take some mesurements this week-end. I'll tell you what I can do. I don't have more power available, and I don't have the budget to run a bigger amp. I hope I will be able to find a design that can please my ears and my need of cargo space !

Hi everyone, I have a 15" Zcon in a CX-5 Mazda. The box is huge in the cargo area : no more room left for groceries ! 4 cu ft @ 33 Hz. I would like to try a new box with sub up AND port up. I feel like the port is too close to the tailgate, and it flex too much. How do you think a new box with port up will play ? Will I loose anything from that change ? Is it absolutely necessary to have a double baffle ? I like to flush mount the sub, and I don't want to use 3 baffles for the new box? Can it be good with good bracing only ? I will try 3.5 cu ft to have asmaller box. I need to take out the false stock floor to put a higher box and save space near the tailgate.

But my voltage stays around 12.5 v all the time. It can go up to 14-15v when the alternator starts to work. It must be a regulated alt. So I don't think this Zcon sees a lot of power. But it's loud. I thought the Zcon liked smaller boxes than the Icon or the Xcon. Going from 4 ft3 net, to 3.5 can be bad ?

Welcome to the forum. You're on the good track ! Nothing wrond with Focal speakers and Mosconi amplifiers, if you can get them. I have ran Focal sets for 10 years and I loved them. But big money equipments are not the only ways to sound good. Good luck.

I totally agree. I loved all the SSA subs I've had : Icon, Xcon, and now Zcon, all in 15". To the OP : the Dcon is a good choice on that power.

I like that false floor with the batteries. It gives me ideas, as I need to hide mine. No more back seats finally !

I've never worried about the size of the speaker wires. You shouldn't. You can use the factory wire. No problem with that.

I love them more and more ! But I did not take time to play with that dsp. I have a few days off, maybe I'll find a moment, and a place to tune everything better.
