[Chickenwings 9]

Which sub for spl nd hits the lows as well? Both powered by a saz2500 ? Opinions, thanks!!

[stevemead08 752]

buy them both and let us know how it worked out.

both are great subs.

SSA is USA made 100%

sundown is just assembled in US with chinese parts.

[RiottStarr 5]

Those Chinese are way ahead of us as far as electronics goes.....

How are sub woofer parts electronic?

[RiottStarr 5]

But I do agree with 14k......

[RiottStarr 5]

How are they not? Splain that to me....HOMES! lol

[jonbearsmt 919]

hard call both are amazing subs.

i guess your goals would be the breaker.... the zcon is a self proclaimed SQ sub.

the nightshade V2 is a beast but little SQ its an SPL sub thru and thru

EDIT : i strike my comment about the zcon being a self proclaimed SQ sub it was a miss understanding on my part.

chicken are you planing the same build as me? im going with ssa zcon 15 and saz 2500. just cause of the sq / spl hard to find both in the same sub. made in USA is an added bonus. just my 2 cents. good luck on the build we want pics.

[stevemead08 752]

Ask around I guess. Zcons do sound good on music and still blow others away in SPL.

After giving it a second thought I'll have to admit I might be wrong. I will say that I would rather have the ZCON. I'm not bashing Sundown at all but is nice knowing what you're getting is American made. That being said, both are great drivers.

[Chickenwings 9]

Thanks alot everyone for helping me out, i mite go with zcon afterall nd yes im also trying to do a single 15 with saz2500 in my 99 eclipse. Hopefully there is enough space!

[jonbearsmt 919]

oh and the nightshades seem to love small volumes, i run mine in 3 cubes per 15

Not to butt in here, but we do not claim that the ZCON is an SQ sub. In fact, we have said the opposite of that. The ZCON was designed with brutal output in mind, while sounding good. Just wanted to clear that up. Thanks.

swear i have seen you say "not bad for an SQ sub" when people post results... but perhaps i was wrong.

does sound great on music tho. right behind your head in a wall.. somthing i think most subs have a problem with.

EDIt: i looked back where i thought i remember you saying that i could not find it.. im sorry for the misleading remarks i made, i dont want to me known as that guy.... so i re track my statement. but in no way was it negative to SSa or the Zcon sub,.

That was me in reference to the Xcon.

Really is impossible to recommend which one will be louder. Just to many variables to consider.

I do know that I can't even tell you how many Sundown setups I have seen that put up ridiculous numbers.

[16K 159]

honestly though

Zcon > Nightshade

[Chickenwings 9]

How about a AA mayhem??

[16K 159]

ZCON > Mayhem

[Chickenwings 9]

Hmm are you sure about that have you heard both?

[SMpaintball78 58]

i have 1 zcon 15 on a AQ3500.1 (2 ohms 2600watts) and i wouldnt give it up for a NS... but thats just me. the zcon sounds AMAZING and get REALLY loud haha. maybe this will help...

PLZ EXCUSE THE SQ. I SHOT THE VID WITH MY PHONE AND IT DONT LIKE SUBS HAHA.

this is being ran off a stock 130amp alt. so i would be surprised if it even getting rms :/ skip ahead to 1:15 for some flexx

Just because it's made outside the USA, means nothing.

Same thing when saying it's built in the USA, that doesn't mean that the product is good.

But in these cases, if you look at quality, both are good quality. They won't break down easily.

Not true at all .... Magnet slugs are imported from overseas.

SSA is proudly built in USA as are the Sundown sub woofers. Both great USA Based companies.
