    Hey guys not to hijack this thread but the new line of SSD's look insane with 800 RMS, and an Xmax of 21mm. I might have to pick one up just because, and you cant beat the price either.

    Hey guys, just wanted a little input on which sub will suit me best. I have a 2003 Buick Lesabre, stock alt for now, 0 gauge throughout, optima yellow top, and a SAZ1500D. I like to listen to mostly rap. I currently have a sundown z15 v.1 in a 3 cubic foot box tuned to 34hz. I like the sundown sub, but I want something that pounds harder and louder! I am looking at 3 different 12" subs. FI BTL fully loaded, Sundown Nightshade, or SSA XCON. Now keep in mind whichever one I choose now, I will be getting a second one down the road for a total of 2. If anyone has ever made a box for a 2000-2005 lesabre let me know because i am trying to build a box that ports through the arm rest in the back seat to get the sound out of the truck. I hope i have provided enough info for ya. Thanks

    question did you build the enclosure yourself?

    and where abouts in MI are you located?

    10 Miles south of flint. I bought the box from a buddy who had it made at Advance auto sound in Flint.

    Was hoping I could use the stock frame and I was able to do so!

    Just had to adapt it a bit... one of our spider bolt down rings worked perfectly for the job.

    This woofer has 3 Hard Nightshade spiders, a Z v.2 prototype D2 coil (tight gap so NS coil would not fit), and a light weight cone similar to the Z v.1 but with a wide roll surround.

    Once the dust cap glue dries I'll measure specs on it to see what we got :)

    * Overview of the ring -- also changed original basket screws to a higher grade metal with allen heads.

    * Gluing bottom triple joint

    * Lining it up and getting ready to solder the leads -- 6 sheets of paper on the inside gap

    * Finished product ! I've played it on the test bench a bit with no dust cap... but that is it so far.

    I don't think you can get it changed. Especially not to a BTL; the motor is much different. Basically the only thing you would keep is the basket, if that. Not worth it in my opinion. Why don't you like the Q?

    I do like the Q I wouldnt mind hearing the BL, and I just bought a Sundown Z15, so I can send the FI to get re-coned. I can keep the Q its a great sub and also buy a BL. LOL
