    Xcon VS Zcon 2 12"subs

    i haven't purchased anything electrical yet. I have ordered enough 1/0 knuconcepts wire for big 3 upgrade and run to rear of car. looking at moving front battery to rear as well. and using xs d3100 batteries probably two. haven't chosen amp until i am sure which sub I will run. just so you know I have been looking at the cresendo bc2000 for power and was thinking of 2 of them. I have attached my box design I made on sketch up. box size 34d*34w*13h with a center slot port. I am definately not 100% on making the port correct length and width for frequency. all advice is appreciated. I am learning as I go.

    Enclosure Design Help

    I have been working on an enclosure for 2 SSA Zcons. Spent the last week on these. Learning how to use sketch up and trying to understand torres calculation tool. I have come up with two designs using these. I am looking for some advice from someone to help me confirm my that what I have done is correct to what has been drawn. I could send my sketchup design to you for advice. I have used the torres calculation tuner to determine my port lengths and sizes. I am not 100% sure I have fully understand all senarios which change my calculations in this calculator.

    Thanks for the advice I believe I am going with 2 12's . I had read the specs and that is why i am now unhappy. I read the specs just did not understand what everything ment. Once again thanks for all the help. I have started designing a box with sketch up. Also used speaker box tuning calculator. Would anyone volunter looking over my specs i have used and my box design so I feel better about the port being correct. or not. or how I could possible improve it.
  8. I have been up and down on what I wanted to put in my trunk. After some help from others on here I have got a starting point to get some good opinions. If this is still not a good starting point just tell me what I need to do. So I have measured my trunk and found that 34L x 34W x13H would be the largest enclosure I would be able to get in and out of my trunk with out building multiple piece enclosure. So with this new information I have realized that what I wanted to do will not fit in the opening of my trunk. So These are my thoughts of my new direction for my first car audio build. My current sub choices are: -FI BL12d1 x 2 -SA8-v2 x 4 (I would not be against the thought of more of these) -I will take suggestions I just have really enjoyed the reading and video of these to manufacturers. I find the ability of the sundown 8 is incredable from what I have seen and read online. I just have not been able to hear one in person to justify this choice further. Also I feel that If I purchase the 4 and they are not adiquate then I have room left over for more improvement since these take up a small amout of area. I also have not heard the Fi just using information of the web. These look increadable! Just not sure I can get the enclsure large enough to satisfy me and the sound that they can produce once I have added the port. My enclosure will be ported. My concern is the comparison of 2 12's vs 4 8's? Please leave your opinions so I can further my decision. Cone area should be close just not sure what directly will be different since one is an 8 and the other a 12. I am sure I am doing something wrong here Please help constructively would be appreciated.

    How much should i sell it for?

    So by what you stated it would be better to use birch due to its resistance to water than the MDF. Would coating with a Polyurithane be better than a resin coating?

    Being that you've weakened it with resin I wouldn't recommend anyone I know even pay for it. See your local CL. That is what you'll get. So would you recommend any type of coatings for the interior of an enclosure? Why do you feel that the resin has made it weaker? Can you explain more why your opinion is this way? I would like more detail about this. Educating minds await

    personally I would pick 2-12's over 4-8's because I think the BL kicks ass however with your size limits, one BL might be a better idea you say you want cups shaking in your cup holders? sun visor movement? get 1 ssa zcon http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/58656-ssa-zcon-12-d2-and-crescendo-bc2000/?hl=zcon i just hope you have the power to slam it Why would you choose one twelve? Is this due to box size and amount of room I have? I Currently was convinced by my local audio store to buy an arc 12D4 and I am not happy with it at all. Not Loud enough. I would have reservations about going with one twelve again. What are your opinions.

  13. I am going to purchase some FI subs. I am looking at 2 15's. I have been looking at the Sp415's but have been seeing alot of people have been going with the BL series. Now the BL N series is the neo mags which increase the cost. this is for my daily driver. I like my music loud. Here is some back story to where I am at. I went to a shop that took good care of me 10 years ago but all they wanted to sell me was JL audio. I think that is great equipment. Just not wanting to follow the heard. He sold me an alpine HD-137BT Head unit, 4 gauge amp wiring kit, JL 500/1, Arc Audio ARC 12d4 sub in sealed 1.25 cuft box. I have added polyfill, and had to turn up bass boost to get sub where I felt like I enjoyed it. Now I have turned bass boost down due sub noise during long low notes. My original thought was to go with 3 arc subs on a 1200.1 arc amp. However I will not be able to build the correct box and still be able to keep radius to fit those subs. SOOOO on to two subs and why I am I want the 15's. Can everyone chime in and explain what I would expect to hear in differences between these two models either the BL or the SP415's?????? As far as amp I am looking at the cresendo or sundown with power between 3500 or 5500 models??? I will be building my own enclosure by looking at the requirements for these subs It will need to be between 6-8 cuft??? depending on when I size trunk to what I can fit realistically. trunk opening is 34 inches x 15.5 inches and trunk depth is around 40 inches. This will be my first ported enclosure so port dimensions with getting it to the correct frequency have me confuse to what I need per factory specificaitons????? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I have been leaning towards the SP415's but after looking at cost I could save quiet a bit if I go with the BL's. Just let me know your imput will be greatly appreciated. I will make these fully loaded which ever one I choose. FYI

    I want loud low music. Listen to alot of dubstep, electronic type of music. But still listen to rock and roll, 50-60's, alternative, country every now and then. I would like to be able to shake the cups in my cup holders if I want to and still retain quality sound when listening to other types of music.
  15. I want loud low tones. At this point I am not planning on competeing. This is just for my DD. I believe from reading i would like a SQL type of system. Don't hold me to that still learning more details on the differences. Loud vibrating the entire car, moving the cups in there cup holder type of sound.
  16. made two mock boxes the first one is 13x34x34 I believe 2 12's would work well in or I would be able to build a box for 1 15.
  17. Goal and "list" don't at all match. Absolutely idiotic to choose power before the box and goals.And without both of those NO ONE can help you "pick" So My goal and list do not match ok. Now you have confused me? I want to build a car audio system. I do not want to build something that I can walk in off the street pay some guy and in 4 hours its installed. This is my first serious build and all I asked for is some assistance in choosing my equipment. So I won't choose my power yet and I will get my box size for you so I quit making bad decisions. Sorry for waisting your time I just wanted some help.
  18. I hope this helps. Goal - can't really say exactly at this point I just want to build a system for my daily driver. Budget - unknown, not unlimited Purchase/System list: -Alpine HD-137BT -big 3 upgrade -2 15's FI either SP415 or the BL(This is why I got on here to get opinions to help with my choice) -Cresendo either 3500 or 5500 (still to purchase depends on which sub I choose) -Replace car interior speakers (Need to look at still) -sound deaden interior of trunk and car(Already purchased just waiting for warmer weather to complete) -Build box myself -Battery upgrade Box size - I have not build it yet waiting on sub choice(This is why I got on here to get opinions to help with my choice) should be between 6-8cuft of space available. Hopefully this information will help.
  19. BL sub not neo unless somone can change my mind thats why I am asking these ??????
