EXOcontralto's video of my XCONS

Recommended Posts

Hey all!

Recently EXO made a video of my XCONs doing work when I was hanging out with him. Just thought I'd share it on here.

Most of the comments are good which is exciting lol. Most people don't understand or care that I'm not done and that this was my first time doing any sort of fabrication which is kind of annoying. Function is much more important than "looking clean" in my book.

Looking sweet. Camera does a fairly good job on picking up the bass, doesn't just sound like a bunch of rattling crap.

Have you gotten a chance to get it metered yet?

Working on it lol. Saving up for my DC Power 270XP, then I'll send some more clean power to them. Finally got a carbon flex vid! lol. 3 Peat by Lil' Wayne is still by far the best on those mids though, I'll post that up next time I make a video.

i watched this video a couple days ago..looks like your voltage is pretty good for a stock alt.

Unfortunately not yet. I can't wait to see what I'm doing though, I'm hoping mid to high 140's but it's kind of hard to tell by ear. Nobody has good SPL meters that I know around here, so it looks like I have to wait until the next comp in the summer to get metered.

I'm really happy that the car has a stock 120 amp alt lol. I just can't turn the XCON's up as much as I would like to without sending the amplifier into clipping due to voltage drop (not that they aren't loud as it is :) )

As a side note, it's kind of funny how much quieter my car seemed while this video was made because his XXX's had just punched me in the face haha.

I know the feeling. My jeep isn't that loud to begin with, but once I stepped in BanginGMCs truck and Marks rocket ship, boy did I "lose" some bass :P

Looks nice bro!

Thanks man! Not quite 4 18"s but still sounds good lol.

I think you are the first person to say it's clean lol. I can't wait to fix up the pods and hide the foam but I am too busy with college right now and I'm also afraid to touch the pods because they sound so good right now.

He said he was really impressed with them, he didn't realize that they were that good. He definitely liked how they can hit the highs and the lows with a fairly flat response. The first time he heard them months ago I had a terrible sunroof rattle so he got the proper experience this time lol. Hopefully SSA will get a little more recognition now! I'm getting so much more traffic on my youtube now.
