Question #1- depends on your enclosure size, enclosure type and tuning

Question #2- Most people i've seen on here run speaker wire to their zcons. Some others run DMMs to them when they screw them up and others run CA glue on them when they are rebuilding them.

Question #3- I can't answer this one.. just gotta sit back and watch Titanic a couple hundred times back to back and then.... They'll be there.

[liljestrand 244]

I ran a crescendo bc5500 to mine...so roughly 2600-2800 each

Expect 3-4 weeks before you get them...is a safe estimate

q1:its going to be a trunk box so about 2.5 at most per sub around 35 hz

q2: lol thats good info on that speaker wire thing what i ment to say is rms power wise per sub

q3: have to get the rental card out and pick it up then pass out for around a month

how big of a box do you have them in ?

and figured something like that

I've run my Zcon 18 on 5k for sometime, but it takes some experience to run that much power without any problems. If you plan on running a ton of power make sure your box is on the small side.. I've learned this the hard way when upgrading power. Lower power = Big box, Lots of power = small box.

Current lead time is about 3 weeks excluding weekends.

2.5ft3 is not horrible, but you can get by with less..around 2 - 2.25f3 net each would be just fine and work amazingly well.

[Sencheezy 689]

I'm running 1200 to mine in a 6cu box So I think you will be ok. But will be running 2500 soon. A few other members are running 5k (smartly) 3-4 weeks would be good estimate

gotcha trying to get a bit wider port then what i have probably going to build a in trunk box once i completely finish the electrical upgrades

i plan on up grading to around a single 5 k once i get rid of these amps and subs (sa-12s) still dont know exactly to what atm though

[liljestrand 244]

That only sounds better cus he said 3 weeks....excluding weekends.

My box was 8cf after displacement and tuned to 32hz...

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

Thank you for your order, I just finished processing it (them). Current lead time is 3-4 weeks unfortunately due to the "busy season" of car audio being right now.

When the subs are due to ship, you will receive a store email with your tracking information.

As I am positive any SSA subwoofer owner will tell you, they are well worth the wait.

[nem 2,019]

Yes Mark I agree with you.

[SMpaintball78 58]

Ihave had 2600rms going to my 1 15 in 4 cubed tuned at 30hz. Loves the power.

And yes. Its well worth the wait for them

[CHRIS 323 12]

pictures of current stuff or this thread is worthless

[CarlosRodriguez 4]

my bad i got caught up with work wonder why i never got email resposes hmm but here are some pictures of whats in there atm..

what i use to set my gains..

the 320 amp alt

the sa -12s box tuned to around 35 hz

my two batterys

2/0 welding cable

thats All i gots for now should be more to come as i get it

on a side note should i fiber glass the spare tire well into the intrunk box or would it cause more issues then benefits??

[CarlosRodriguez 4]

voltage dropp when the two amps are at 2 ohms so 4 ohms strapped

also before the sound deaner

[Shogen 325]

that looks intense!!!

[CarlosRodriguez 4]

Thanks I hope I can get it louder at least a lil bit ..

[CHRIS 323 12]

nice stuff man im digging everything keep those pics coming

[Ohjay 116]

Thanks I hope I can get it louder at least a lil bit ..

I don't think that will be a problem.

[CarlosRodriguez 4]

I'm thinking this is going to be the next box any input suggestions?

Also this box will be fiber glassed inside, resin a matt

gross volume 7.18

port area 70 in^2

port area per ft 12.30 in^2

net volume 5.69 (2.845 per sub)

tune 37.62 hz
