92 Volvo 240, SSA zcon 18!

[Dictator 39]

Vehicle: 1992 volvo 240 brick power FTW!

Electrical:Big 3 under the hood, Four runs of 1/0 gauge, custom 275 alternator, Agm superstart under the hood, Two kinetik 2400s

Driver: SSA zcon dual 2ohm's

Bass Amp: Crescendo 3500bel

4channel amp: MB quart Q.150.4

Components: 6.5 polk MM's times two!

Headunit: Clarion vx500

Whole point of this build was a high powered individual single 18 driver tuned low which in my eyes is 32hz which was musical so the only driver that could for fill my needs was a ssa zcon!

The front end of the sexy BEAST!

Thats a fresh paint job 20years later FRESH!

Onto the build the we have a 12cubic feet gross box DOUBLE MDF all around except bottom! Ports doubled up also!

Net volume for the sub is 8.02cubic with 130inchs of port area tuned at 32hz!

Just slapped the wood together all gluey!

Just finished working on the port time to silicone **** ho fill her up with all that white good stuff!

Test fitting the box previous box was to big when i was building it. Dimensions of previous box fit inside the wagon but would not actually get inside the wagon because...the enginers who designed the hatch opening werent that smart ....starts at 48width ends with 38-37 width at the top of the hatch. sweden FAIL!

But this sexy sucker fits like a used and abused ho!

another caulk photo lol just for you caulk whores!

Buddy decided make it more interesting start his box build at "The SAME DAM TIME" who needs a extra hand pshhh....

All the glue squirting out i dont play around when it comes building box's i want a bond between my wood. also believe wood squirts so if you play if it be cautious for the after math!!!

when it comes down to it my moto is always BONDO that HO that shut her up! no one likes a leaky box specially after using shat tone of screws smashing the mdf together for a strong bond!

****You smell that i think im high from the fumes...no its just braincells leaving my brain****

Time to make a hole 16.75 be exact!

Something i have to admit i really love bondo i think we have a bond!

finally got the hole cut out went threw to jigs my harbor freight one took a shit on me had to curb stomp that bish!

omg a spider is near my CAULK!

primer the inside of the box just had some sitting around big believer on makshuring no little holes leak air!! better look at some color in the box then bare wood that just looks naked to my eyes!

WHITE WALLS i think i built a crazy house!

All you see is whiteness, its the twilight zone all over again.

Ordered some light swag for the wag ebay FTW!, Little break from the build

55watt HID green headlights low beam from ddtunning.

5050 300led strip 16.4feet from ebay green 18$ shipped for a tri led waterproof could not pass up that deal!

is it a ufo or a plane NO its a wagon! not just any wagon! A custom 240 wagon!

i never would of thought of putting underglow on this wagon lol but it was cheap and fun little project.

Lights inside where previous installed and ordered from ozium,

Looks really bright in real life and NO strips showing anywhere all hidden.

some grill flash show them teeth off!

that was a little side track trip for all you picture whores. the box was done so all i had to do was give it a good sanding and throw some paint on it, i was feeling glossy black. I sanded it sprayed some primer on it and sanded it again starting rolling some paint on it and started to realize some spots where not getting covered the paint just would not stick!

i said F*** it i want hear this monster it doesnt look absolute shit its bearable for the time being. Any ideas please chime in.

Didn't mask out the port wont see it anyways side port.

the box is done for the time being till i redo the finish on it.

photo of my fail box with two 18inch zcons in it 4.5cubes net each sub after port with 175port area tuned at 40herts. Was really peaky and major port and box flex sounded LIKE GARBAGE nothing to do with the zcons it was my improper building and thought process at the time. Enclosure is most important thing when it comes to the performance of the driver never forget that if it doesnt fit go smaller! plane and simply i learned it the 150$ way.

on the bright side some one is going to be a proud owner of a zcon 18 cause im selling one of them no need for two if i cant utilize them both.

took that box out and used it for the stash area for all or tools for the box build lol served a great purpose for that so much space to work with 9cubes to be exact.

Temp 18 box ughhhh so small and blah!

Time to throw the real monster in the shagging swag wagon.

Little insight at the power behind this conspiracy.

not that clean looking specially the two rca's with masking tape on them but its just for reference not to use them since they dont work anymore.

The speaker bar with a bundle of wires four runs of 1/0 gauge not that easy to make it look pretty but i think it looks tamed. Another great thing i can fit another 2400 in the middle if i ever needed to fit nice and snug

Threw the box in and wired it up OMG is thing bad A*S. Loudest i ever had in the wagon hits the lows like a monster and all other notes makes you laugh at the things it can do to your favorite song!

Hard to see going take some more photos on a bright day just started feeling like fall down here in the south now.....

well thats i always like pointers or insight on what yall think i want take offence to anything crazy!

I honestly kept reading becuase of the commentary

Damn, that is a mean box though, with sooo much port, I love it! You should def video it, I'm interested in seeing what she meters at on a 32hz tone... a high 40 would be my guess.

[16K 159]

Haha very nice build!

Ever thought about walling since its a wagon?

[stealth 113]

[ricksi30 923]

i did think about walling the wagon off so bad but i dont think im ready for that yet this is enough for my needs. If i ever purchased another volvo i would and make it my weekend daily car. For now it turns heads and makes the cops stay on high alert!

How can you compare the btl with the Zcon ?

I run a btl n2 in 12"but I may get a Zcon 15" in the near future finally.

I love the btl, I did not think it could be so accurate on music(!!!), but I've never heared any Zcon, only Icons and Xcons.

You have a huge box in that wagon. It seems to be near the roof, no problem with that ?

You seem to enjoy it, so it's good !

Thanks for posting the build log.

i myself have found that ssa subs (particulary zcon obly cuz its all iv had lol) are very efficient. im running my saz 3k @ 1ohm to the 18 and i dont drop below 13.4 at full tult. my port is a little to big for my sub (150sq inchs) so sound quality aint the best. thats why im either getting a seccond zcon in my truck with a new box, or getting 3-4 sundown sa 8 v2s on my 3k
