Xcon 18" in sealed box

[basshead7890 128]

Would there be a big difference in the output if i go 5ft^3 sealed ,vs ported, so i can fit it in my trunk? Has anyone heard an xcon 18 sealed before and how loud can it get sealed?

[orlando144 20]

Ported would be wayyy louder maybe! But with the correct airspace. But do xcons work well in sealed enclosures??

[Shogen 325]

umm... 15" Xcon here sealed... running 500w MAX.... and HOLYSHYTLOUD !!! I vibrate like crazy... How loud do you want it? You could put closer to "rated" wattage and be alot louder ... I'm running on low and it is great!!! :fing34:

Personally, I love the Xcon in larger sealed enclosures. The 12 sealed in 1.75 was awesome. With the slightly higher Qts of the 18, it is an excellent option for sealed.

it is amazing.... only problem is I now have NEWER rattles in the trunk that I didn't have with the Icon ported.... FML!! Looks like I'll be inside my trunk once again chasing down the rattles while my friend bumps the system.... YAY!!

I have an 18" Xcon and realized i can't fit it ported, and I was thinking about putting it in ab5.5 cubicft box and I wanting to know what would be better for spl, a Xcon 15" ported or an 18" sealed in 5cubes, like what would be louder?

[Shogen 325]

Potentially the 15"... many variables...

It will be close, but for daily driving, the 18 sealed will still be a TON of output.

Is 87.92in^2 enough port area for an xcon 18 in a 6.14ft^3 box? (the port would be external) If not whats is the minimum port area required?

That is close, but still on the small side.

It is quite small, due to the displacement capabilities of the XCON I recommend a minamum of 110² inches of port area.

This thing is a F@#$%^G BEAST barley turned up, i have to get another alternator my voltage drops to 11, then i can see what it can really do

its 4.66ft^3 after displacements, & i want to build a ported box but the ports have to 30 inches long external that will come later if i can fit it

im going to upload some videos later too

Nice. It looks crazy in that trunk.

[Shogen 325]

holy shit that is a tight fit man... looks god though.. def want some videos...!!!

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Love those subs sealed.

Great output and transient response is crazy good.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Heck of a squeeze. Not sure if you even tried to go ported it would have enough room to breathe. Let it run sealed, that is my vote.

[Shogen 325]

I gotta tell you... sealed is giving me more shakes and rattles everyday... I tried doing sub up and man was it louder and stronger but holy hell I need to have everything screwed down on the rear deck and roof liner in the back is coming off now... lol
