It's funny, every time I pass an suv now I think, "I bet some evils would sound awesome in there!"
-
And the xcons sealed possess that ability?
-
I love sq but sometimes I get in these modes where I am just craving spl. I was going to port the xcons for sure but you are making me seriously consider running them sealed Neal
-
Love your build man, glad to hear you've got your evil doing what it was meant to do...punishing people!
-
Have you had a chance to listen to the new daytons yet?
-
Who told you Rick? That was supposed to be top secret! Ya I put the first xcon in a 1.5ft^3 sealed box I had, not as loud as the gcon ported (duh) but I was demoing the new setup for my friend last night and was super impressed with the quality of the bass. My friend got so excited about the sq that he ran in the house to get his ipod and we spent an hour listening to his favorite music. It was great. We listened to a Dream Theater song that had a ton of string bass instruments (cello, concert bass, etc) and the quality of the bass was unreal! It totally surrounds you and at times you feel it but aren't quite sure you are hearing it...it was a weird awesome sensation.
-
Great Idea lithium thanks. I just spent some time listening to the setup and holy shit is it sweet! I can't wait to get it all dialed in...more pics to come
-
Thank you. I have never done any of this before and I am quite anal about things, great because I end up with the result I am looking for in the end, but it takes me FOREVER to get things done...it's worth it though. I spent 3 hours cutting out and sanding rings for my tweeters today. i will upload pics later today. This will be my first attempt at fiberglassing, I'm a little nervous
-
These things are huge!. I hooked them up for a minute to see how they would sound with my woofers and WOW! I could not be more impressed. I can't imagine what they will sound like once I get them installed and tuned properly. Amazing tweets
-
And my tweeters are here!
-
I am now tingling with anticipation to hear my 2 xcons, but absolutely drooling over the evil! Great build, awesome install, amazing sub!...I only wish I could hear one
-
I found that out first hand. Interrested to hear and feel the difference between the gcon and xcon. put one of the xcons in a 1.5ft^3 sealed box today.
-
A picture is worth a thousand words but a video says it all
-
Great work man! Tuned in for sure. Excited to hear what you think. I can't believe something so beautiful can be deemed evil...or how something so evil can be so beautiful!
-
Ran out of CLD so used EBR between the ring and panel Re designed the rings so they would bolt to factory location. Didn't have to mod anything and they are easily removable if need be. Fit like a glove! Like I was never there ...The problem I'm having now is I am cheating myself out of so much potential output keeping them in the stock location They sound amazing so far but I know I am missing out on their true potential. When I feel more comfortable with fiberglassing I will break down and give these guys the proper home they deserve. For now I will concentrate on tuning.
-
That's better. These Seas are HUGE compared to the BA's I was running before!
-
Shit I linked them instead of pasting them as pics! I will post the pics tonight. and hopefully be able to give a small review of these beauties
-
Looks like our new projects will parallel each other Rick...Will be trading in my gcon for ricks xcons and redoing my front stage to run active. Finally got some real pics and ditched the cardboard drivers
-
I am looking for an amp to power my new front stage. Have come across a crescendo 1000c4 and a 125.4. The sundown is a bit more but I can splurge if it is worth it. I have never heard these brands in person but have not heard a bad thing about either one. My goal is sq. It will be powering an active front stage, 8 ohm hds tweeters, and 8 ohm 7" woofers in the stock door locations. Will I notice a difference in sq between these 2? How about overall quality? Is the sundown really worth almost twice the money? Or will I be just as well off going with my original plan and get a new ppi 900.4? Any advice opinions or comments are greatly appreciated.

Crescendo or Sundown?
handman84 replied to handman84's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Why do there have to be so many options?! Saw a LNIB 125.4 for $380 shipped but the refurbished will save a few dollars and come with a 1 year warranty...are the refurbs more trustworthy than a classified add? It feels safer... Anyone know of any used draconias? -

That's the problem, money is an issue. The ZED just is out of my price range Hopefully I can get the sundown for a good price, if not it will be the crescendo. -

Good to know. A Draconia ll is on my wish list but I need power as soon as possible...maybe I should just save for another month, my system will suffer but I will not have to upgrade any time soon. Thank you for all your feedback -
Love it!

I have a 1200d powering a 12'' gcon wired to 4ohms and it does just fine. For the money I have been very happy. I gives me everything I ask of it and never complains. -
Best X-over frequency?

Have you installed any sound deadener?
