zcon 15 box for f150 ext.cab

[SMpaintball78 58]

hey guys, i know i have a thread already about this topic, but that was for my ranger. i now have a 2002 f150 ext. cab and my zcon is on its way so i want to start building a box. i took some measurements tonight and i have up to 6 cubes to play with here. i want ported obviously tuned to aorund 34Hz? i love my lows deep and loud haha. i will have it getting 2300 watts from my aq3500 and yes i have the electrical to back it up with no problem. now, how many cubes do you guys suggest i should go for with this kind of power, and the tuning i want? i will have the sub and port up unless told otherwise. let me know what you guys think!!

Save my money for what?

He already has the sub ordered, either help him out or leave him be. 3-5ft^3 is a start, tuning will depend on goals and music preference.

i may do a comp or two in the future. but as far as music preference, i listen to a lot of..... rap-65%,country-20% and rock-15% lol just to give you a idea. however, i have found that since i do not have any subs, i hardly listen to rap at all..... haha

and should i lean more twords 3cf because i wil have the sub getting rms power, or will i be ok around 5??

i was looking into them, but since hardly anyone ownes a zcon, i figured id stay with that choice..... also i noticed the sp4 and zcon motors look very simular.. atleast on the outside haha

No not tender, just rather help and be of assistance than fail at humor like you.

The motors are very different, looking similar means nothing. Big differences, the biggest being 3" vs. 4" coils.

I would shoot for 4 cubes or more myself.

The Zcon I believe has a pinch more motor force, and the SP4 is a little more sealed box friendly. The Zcon can run sealed box, it is just not really optimized for it.

yeah. i may just use the box i already have. but i think the zcon has a mounting depth thats too much for the box. guess it wouldnt be ok to invert a new sub would it?

[audio-neon 34]

Inverting a sub should have no effect on the musicality or longevity of it.

x2 or just make a mounting/spacing ring on the mounting baffle to give the magnet some clearance if you want

[StreetLegal 119]

A spacer ring is a good idea...

X2... do you use the same box size when inverting???

yes. but i think the sub is like 2"s to deep so a spacing ring is kindof outta the question. although my solo x 10 fit in just fine and there like 8"s deep

[SMpaintball78 58]

how should i place the sub and port? sub up port up, sub forward port up???

[SMpaintball78 58]

anyone??

[SMpaintball78 58]

ok well my box is going to begin being built this weekend and i still dont know how to put the sub or port. im going with 4.5cubes tuned@ 34Hz. so once again, sub up port up, sub forward port up???????

Do you like to put stuff on top of your box? Do you put stuff in front of your box? Its all vehicle dependent on which sounds better. You will have to experiment. Either way I would put the sub and port on the side of the box. example: sub up port up or sub forward port forward.
