Looks really nice !

I like it. Satisfied with the rsullts in this box ? BTW what are the specs on that box ?

Get a SSA Xcon 12" ported ! An Icon if your budget is too tight. Or a Fi BL or BTL for the loud side ! Your amp will be powerful enough for all those subs. BTW you have a really nice car. Must be fast too ! Congrats !

nice ! Thanks for the flight !

OP, Let's do it that way : the N3 is an all out spl sub (even if some use it for daily music), and the SMD is mainly for music (but can get really loud). What do you want us to tell you ? Compare apples with oranges ? Hard to do !!! What are your goals for your system ? It seems that you already have DD subs, do you like them, or do you want something more ...musical ? Good luck

If you have the budget, go Xcon FTW. On the same power you can easily hear the difference between the Icon and the Xcon : you will not want the Icon. But the Icon is a fantastic sub : yes, I said that, Fan tas tic ! I've just bought back my 15" Xcon ! Can't wait to put it back in my car.

The Rubicon 2500 can be found for cheap too. Even in my small island, so in the USA... !!! I've heared the KX are good amp, but I think some had a problem with the gain knoob which did not want to stay where it has been set. I can be wrong, so check it ! Good luck

Save for the second Xcon if you have the room. More cone area than a single 15" for example. And cheaper than a Zcon. You won't have to sell your current xcon, only the badass box !

Hello guys, just to let you know some scores with SSA subs this week end. A friend of mine did 145.2 dbs at 44 Hz IIRC, with 2 Xcon 15" on 4 saz1000 amps. It was his first time metering on a Termlab. Sensor on the windshield, on the right side. He was very pleased with that score, for a non spl setup. His box is 4 ft3 per sub, tuned to 30 Hz. Another one did 140.1 with an SSA Icon 15" in a 3.5 ft3 box tuned to 32 Hz.. The amp was a Digital Design M1 (I think so). The spl record for the week end is 150.something. But with a "pure" spl setup : wall, no mids&highs ! I don't know what subs and what amps were playing. I'll try to meter my car soon. I know a guy with a Termlab, and he's ok to meter anyone when he can ! Have a good week !

I don't think I can reach such scores ! But I'll let you know what I do ! I'll try to meter my Xcon 15" too (I'll get it this week).

I sold my 15" Xcon to a friend, in november IIRC. They stole it soon after in front of his house. He did not have any car alarm or dog ! Last week we found it for sale on a local website. But one of his "friend" bought it from the thief and told him so !! My friend did not want to be too hard, so he made a deal : they sell the sub and amp and they do 50/50 on the money. Instead of calling the Police or taking sub and amp for free in his hands ! (The actual owner has bought a Soundstream XXX 15" since, so he doesn't need the Xcon.) So, I am about to buy back my sub for a very very good price !!!!!! It is still in good shape. I will try it again in my car to make a serious comparison with the BTL 12" on my saz 3000. It helps to have equipments only a few people have. I would have bought Audiopipe amp and sub, like everyone in Martinique, I would have never found them back ! Soo happy !!! BTW : I will swap my Pioneer prs88 for some money and a more recent Pioneer 7000 ub : I need usb, an ipod/iphone control now. And the 88 is going in a system with multiple speakers. It works fine now, no more unwanted shutt offs.

I will get it next week. I already have a box. :-)

The"friend" who bought it from the thief did not realize what he was doing ! :-( When they tried to call the thief back, no answers. But it was a bad guy from a very bad neighborhood. Had to be careful. The island is small, they will find him someday. I don't care. I am getting it for way less what I sold and bought it !!!

You may need only one 3500 amp for those Dcons. The second one will not help you be much louder. Think about the upgrades you need for that second monster amp. Is it worth it ? The Dcons are the best choice, maybe ! But I'd rather see / hear Icons, Xcons. Maybe less drivers, but... Good luck !

I want to thanks the SSA forum and all the members for helping me improve my English (and my car audio knowledge too) !!! It's way better and more effective than English classes ! I had several tests yesterday for a new job, and the english one was very hard. I got the results and I did a very very good score ! They all were scaring me with that test : it's very hard, you won't have enough time,...etc. So I rushed and made some mistakes, I could have reach a better score though. I don't know if I get the job, but I know what the ssa forum did (and does) for me !!! BIG THANKS TO SSA !

I already knew some bad words ! :-) No slang was allowed ! Only good grammar, vocabulary, and a few questions about 2 difficult sentences. Merci beaucoup à vous tous !

Ohjay ! I really need to make some more money !!!

There were some earthquakes recently in the Caribbeans. It's always scary. In the last weeks we had 2 "big" ones in Martinique and in the past week St Martin had another serious one. everybody felt them, even those who were sleeping in their beds; the first was at 00:00 and the 2nd one, some days later happened at 4:00 AM.

Everything, everybody safe up there in SXM ? After earthquake, rain, hurricanes ?

2 btl can't handle 4000 w rms ? There is a problem somewhere in your install. I don't think it's coming from the ssf, but I'm not an expert ! In SXM I saw you can find all the Audiocontrol equipments for cheap, maybe you could go this way ? Make another thread about it. It seems they did not see what you were asking about it.

It would be nice to run 2 Xcons 10" on that amp., or a single Zcon 12" or 15". A btl fully loaded would like your amp too, but be smart with the gain !

Get the 2 zx 1500 amps. 700 for both is not a bad deal. It will be easier to sell one amp AND one sub later. Build an optimal box for them, 2 separate enclosures would be Nice too. You would have 2 systems to sell later ! I love this forum because of their mods and their "adult" members. You can go to Sm something, but it's hard overthere to get good Help !

I'd rather get an Xcon ! Never heared a Q, only the SSA Icon : it was really nice, but the Xcon is more powerful.
