Zcon 15 or 18

Recommended Posts

Hey I'm looking to buy a single zcon for now but plan on adding another eventually. I want to run it on a crescendo 3500kw amp, and will upgrade to a 200 amp alt and a yellow top optimal. Is one enough? My car was just totaled and ruined my old setup. So now I'm buying a new car. Haven't decided exactly what car Im getting. But I know for sure I am getting a big car. Maybe an explorer. Most likely an explorer. So I'm wondering would you suggest a 15 or an 18 zcon

If you have the room get the 18 hands down.

if you ahve the space, grab the 18", but, if you plan on adding another, it will be a tight fit in an eplorer, not that it can't be done, just saying. I have an explorer, and wanted to do two 18s, but some how that went to 4 15s?

Thanks for the fast feedback. And no one was hurt. No one was in the car. Is there a big difference in sq between them. I have never seen a ride with 18s before

That's good! There won't be a difference in SQ.

Difference in SQ between 15" and 18", no, but the enclosure alignment will play a big role on how it sounds.

Pretty sure I'm going with the zcon 18. But I want to make sure I'm getting what I pay for, and the zcon is a lot of money. So does this sub perform as well as other subs in the same price range

:D

i would get something better than a optima yellow top... look into a 1 or 2 xs d3100s

and if you have the room ofcourse grab the 18... and yes the zcon is one of the best subs in its price range

Well list the other subs your referring to and maybe we could give you an answer although each driver you list will have different optimum performance in different vehicles. What subs have you had experience with. You are asking a very broad question with no backround information so it makes it very difficult to help.

I know the zcon is a beast ive seen videos so I know it gets very loud. And I have not specifically found a sub to compare it with I'm just looking for ideas. But I don't know how good it sounds because its impossible to determine sound quality from a vid. So basically I'm wondering if they are accurate and get low. And I know it will depend on the box. But some subs will just not sound good in any box.

Oh and the subs I've had experience with are ssa dcons and they were really good for such a low price. And some 2 400 watt Kenwood 12s. Don't remember the model. A friend of mine has some rf 15's and they sound awesome but idk exactly what they are

Maybe someone with experience can tell you if they are "accurate" and "get low".

"But some subs will just not sound good in any box" - This is false, no manufacture would produce a product that does not sound good in the enclosure it was designed for.

Why would you assume that no manufacturer would produce a sub that doesn't sound good. That's like saying that no director would make a movie that sucks

Because the word "good" is subjective.
