    Hey guys, I have an 03 BUICK CENTURY v6. I recently put in a 12 in SSA GCON . Built a custom box 2.25 net @33 hz slot ported. Ran all ofc knuconcepts 4 gauge. Monster rca's . Active loc and factory head unit. Amp is a Rockford prime 750.1 running at 1ohm into the GCON... 

    Now u know what I got, well last nite I got her all hooked up, went to test her out, and every time my bass hits my headlights blink with the bass! I hate cars with systems that do that... Can anyone tell me why?? I was told I would be fine running factory elec with 750 watts?  Even less actually because I barely had the gain up cuz my GCON is brand new! Even at low-moderate  volume it is doing it.... What do I do??? Sorry for the essay! Lol

    Probably pcm controlled alternator,check grounds,do you have the big three?

    Thanks for all the replies, I've searched a little more and found Audiophile Engineers in Tampa.  They really seem to know what they're doing and know Robin Butler who was recommended here (again, thanks!).  I'm going to their shop next week and pick their brain.  I know (is it Mark?) is super busy and that's the holdup on the DCON 10"s, I might just wait a few weeks and see if they're back up to production and have AE build a good box. 

    I've spent a little time on the 12volt and bcae1.com to learn a little more, I might just get "The Loudspeaker Cookbook" this summer.

    As far as max dimensions the biggest constraint is height, no more than 14" tall which makes a 12" driver a tad more challenging.

    What do you have depth and width? Knowing the max space your willing to use will help a lot on driver selection,other than just height.

    Denim and I have been thinking about ways to get more traffic back to the forum, and have a few ideas about contests, like a classifieds contest, were we would pick a random user every month for a prize, but I am sure you guys have some great ideas for contests....

    lets come up with a great idea, and get this place back on top of the forum game, once again...

    Offer store credit for new sign ups etc.

    Its in the prefab box, eXcelon Series KFC-XW1000F Subwoofer, and only handles 250 watts rms.  I doubt it would perform well in a ported enclosure, but thatnks for the advice.  A good box is just as important than the driver. 

    We didn't know what you had other than (KENWOOD 10) up until this post.

    Half ass info gets a half ass responce

    Look into the dcon mentioned


  6. I havent even hooked it up Aaron, finally got all the pieces to my build and started having car issues. I been on the car hunt for a minute now, so build may be on hold. I already ripped all my electronics and wires from my current car, sold radio and mids so even more pictures to come as I make purchases. And hopefully a new ride by the spring for a build log. Sucks  I know but at least I have equipment once I buy a car.

    what happened to your ride if you don't mind me asking sir?
