Could an Xcon take 3000 daily?

[Dutchie. 10]

My next system is going to be a single 18 setup on 3000watts.

So far the plan was to go with the Fi BTL, but the more I read about the Xcon, the more I want one.

The only problem I have is that I am worried that it couldn't take 3000 daily. I would be easy on the gain, I just don't want to fry such a beautiful piece of equipment.

You could get two 12" for these 3000 watts. They will not need more room than the 18".

[Hzd Skizzy 27]

If you have to ask then you probably shouldn't. 3kws is a lot on a 1750rms sub.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

A single Xcon does not have the cooling for that much power. But we are working on an answer. The BTL is an excellent option.

x2

double the xcon sexyness

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

I have no doubt it can take more than rated, but I dont think it will take that kind of power.

From what I have been told it does not have the cooling to do so.

It's just not that type of sub and is not marketed as such either.

Beat me to it.

[Dutchie. 10]

Okay thanks guys. And is that a hint at a new option to the SSA line?? Something than can handle more power?!?

We don't know what you're talking about.

REALLY, REALLY stupid to pick a power and then want to run it "daily".

You could just run 2k and NOT EVEN HEAR ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL from 3k. In fact you'd never know. Or you could run something more efficient on even less power and be as loud or louder.

For a non-competition the only reason to run 3kW is to compensate for a lack of manhood so you can tell your so called friends that you are cool and have 3kW.

In the future make a real thread with goals and a direction or just don't make one.

[BanginGMC 23]

I piss 3k daily lol

and no, the XCON will melt haha

[Hzd Skizzy 27]

I piss 3k daily lol

and no, the XCON will melt haha

SMD's can't even take 3k lol.

[swagger_wagon468 53]

Y are u set on 3kw? Im assuming u already have an amp...? Just get 2 12"s as satated above.

[BanginGMC 23]

I piss 3k daily lol

They can't even take 3 watts

They can't even take 3 watts

But they sure are peeerdy

[jrod1050 5]

run the 3k amp and turn the gain down. If you want incredible sound that can play loud get the Xcon. If you want a incredibly loud woofer that has the potential to sound good get the BTL.

[Duran 387]

Not many woofers can take 3Kw daily, burping is a different story, but it's easy so smoke even a BTL on that kind of power if you don't know what your doing.

[Thumpper 266]

one of the installs I have worked on has a pair of 15" Xcons running

off of 6500w rms daily...

take in mind the gains are set correctly,the amp is getting enough juice

and the box is bang on

I would not recommend this to every Joe on the street ..the operator

has to know when enough is enough ( most don"t ).....I would recommend

running a pair of Xcons for warranty and pocketbook purposes

the only sub I have ever used that can take 3KW all day long is the Orion HCCA

...I could not blow that thing with my big JBL/Crown gti amp...pulled a 147db

with a single 12" in a chevy xcab...LOL

[cunokyle 0]

I did over 3k for an entire competition season.

30 seconds at a time at or above 3k on music.

Burped it over 4k. 151.2 @35hz

[shizzzon 461]

if u have to ask, then lower your goals...

If you are set on doing it.. get it and when it blows, well u know what...

Go ahead and find out how people safely run large amps on subs..

I ran 7kw for half a year on a 1000wrms sub... I never damaged them...

It was 3 15s on 21,000w. I never played it long either...

There are many factors involved in knowing really how much power the sub(s) is receiving, the current it is accepting, the excursion levels, time of play that's safe, etc...

^^^ i know a sub that can handle 7kw of amp rated power for over 40 min straight.. but that's not on topic with this thread

This is good to know! I have roughly 7000 watts to feed 2-18's but they must be a very clean sub and it appears this is one.
