  2. Thanks, I am going to just use glue and nails. I am going to add mitered pieces to the inside corners to make them stronger, more surface area for the glue.  I also keep the pieces clamped until the glue has completely dried. I will post pics when the box is finished. 


  3. Hey guys, I have a question about box construction. I've been building boxes for a while. I always use MDF, but will use Baltic Birch one of these days. I have always heard that glue is stronger than screws as long as it is a nice tight joint and glued properly. I have always used glue and screws for strength but have seen a lot of guys use glue and pin nails. I have only built one box using glue only but it was for a single 8" driver. Any guys have experience doing this method? I don't want to waste extra time pre-drilling and using screws if I don't have to, not looking for short cuts, just trying to save some time. I have a box that I am going to reuse but need to beef it up for my new subs, it will house two Xcon 15's and the subs will be hooked up to a 4500 watt amp. Thanks in advance for any input. 


  4. I have nothing but good things to say about SSA. Aaron answered all of my questions within a day or two while I was waiting for my Xcon to be built. I have never had to wait for a  sub to be built, but the wait was worth it. This is the toughest sub I've ever owned! Great company and I recommend them to my friends all the time. 


  5. I am swapping out my Sundown 2 SA15's with 2 Xcon 15's. These Xcons are monsters! I am upgrading my whole system. Right now I have the two 15's, which I have taken out, an older RF power component set and hifonics amps. I am upgrading to 2 Xcon 15's, 4 evil mids and 2 evil tweeters. Going with Synergy audio amps, 4500 watts for bass and running an active front stage with 2 Synergy 4.150X's. Mechman 320 amp alt and xs power batteries.

  6. I was on the Rockford Fosgate forum for quite a while, a long time ago. And there was a guy named Thummper on there that built bad ass boxes. He was using SSA subs. I started looking into it and have been hooked since I saw what they could do. I am waiting to receive my xcon 15 that I ordered this week.
