    Very good amps. Zapco is an old brand, very well regarded for producing high quality amps.

    You are worrying about shit which does not matter. You don't "know" anything about the performance of a 20.1 if the results you are citing came from a clamp test. Stop paying attention to them. They do not mean what you think they mean. You are misinterpreting the results, and by that I mean you are trying to draw useful information from a flawed test methodology. Toss the results out the window and ignore them. They mean nothing. You are also not going to run 18V in anything but a comp vehicle (well ok, you "could" run higher voltage in a daily system but it's stupid and pointless), so I don't see how that's even relevant aside from the fact clamp tests themselves don't provide any useable information. Also, setting a goal for your system of providing your subs "rated power" is a naive endeavor. It does not matter for daily listening. For starters, rated power is typically a thermal not mechanical limit as the mechanical limit is related to the enclosure used and other factors. Rated power is not a power requirement. Related to that, you can have a rather large deviation from rated power without significantly affecting audible output. So who cares if you apply 25% less power to the sub? You will not hear it. None of the regular quality, run of the mill everyday amplifiers that 99% of users own are going to have a large enough difference between rated power and actual output to cause an audible difference. So as stated, these "clamp tests" even if accurate (which they are not, nor do they provide useful information) would just be a dick swinging contest...absolutely zero reason not to just go by rated power as they will be close enough to actual output in almost all instances that audible performance will not be affected. In the realm of SPL none of the tests are conducted in such a manor to make them a reliable or valid means of comparison, so again not useful.

    I love my xcon- I bought it used so I didn't have to worry about break in time. They are amazingly clean sounding though. I've have systems with 4-10's, 3 12's, and have a pair of 15s in my Passat...but this 1 18 is louder and cleaner that any of those setups.

    Xcon has arrived and placed in my enclosure. Definitely impressed with the subwoofer design, what a Damn good looking sub. It's been 2 days now and what I am thinking about when I hear it, is this thing sounds soo clean. I have my port with sub facing toward the driver. I have not tested the tones to see what hrtz end I am pushing, de finitely on the lower end of the spectrum. The Xcon is soaking up all of my Hifonics 1600.1. I have been very impressed with this sub so far. Will add pics soon, Thanks Aaron for keeping me updated through out the build and delivery. I have a new respect for a good sounding sound system rather than something that just is loud and dirty, this sub is loud and clean. Good job SSA.

    Well as of today same status. I know they are taking good care into creating my Xcon. I am like a child waiting for Christmas at this point! Have been trying to come up with what to do about the box, either spray paint or cover it with something. All is going good, I will make sure that this Army post knows who SSA is. I have heard only a few systems on post. Anyway much love to the bass heads. Peace, love and chicken grease

    Will do for sure. I have been drooling over watching videos for the past few week's. I do believe the block will know I have replaced my sub's. They have probably been saying to themselves Thank God, he got rid of those speakers.... BUT little do they know ......
