New to SSA some Q's about DCON's

[sirsaechao 0]

My wife drives a 2003 Honda Accord V6 sedan. She has a 300 watts RMS at 2 ohm on the 5 channel amp and wants a sub. I was on DIYMA and someone suggested I look into the 12" SSA DCON. I read the specs and did some searching. The price fit our budget but my question is...how will this sound with 300 watts at 2 ohm in a sealed for example 1.0 to 1.20 cubic ft sealed box? I read that people prefer the ported box but I am looking for something sealed but I am open for suggestions. I was looking into one of these:

Single 12" Sealed MDF Enclosure (12SQTC) 12" Sealed Subwoofer Enclosures Sealed Subwoofer Enclosures Car Subwoofer Enclosures Car Subwoofer Installation & Accessories Car Audio/Video Installation & Accessories Car Audio, Video, & GPS Navigation - Sonic Electronix

Welcome ....

The DCON is a great woofer and a great choice for your application. Looking at the 2nd link that box would be a great choice when going sealed.

Good luck

Is the 1.21 to much? If so I will just wait for the 1.0 to be in stock. Thanks.

It would sound good on 300w sealed.

I would get the bigger box. You can always add to the inside to take up volume if you wanted too.

Thats cheap as hell for that box. 3/4 MDF too.

Welcome BTW.

Welcome, I just responded to your email with a ported option too.

Thanks for the reply. I am leaning towards the sealed for better SQ.

They sound very good in ported as well. I have a review of a 10" DCON under the SSA section if you would like to read it.

There should be zero loss in clarity if put in a proper enclosure.
