    Brand new SSA store.

    Looks great! One small suggestion though..... we're customers, not cusomters. (Customer Service tab at bottom) ;-)

    Thanks again for the welcome guys! As for pics, I did create an album in the member directory. Have a look.... and keep in mind this was a BUDGET build. But I just couldn't bring myself to not put in some killer bass....

    DUAL XHD7714 HU

    From the album: EddieC

    Inexpensive HU that was actually given to me by a coworker. Believe it or not this thing has some really good sound and neat features. Love having Bluetooth through the HU.

    Kenwood KAC7005PS under seat

    From the album: EddieC

    5 channel Kenwood running at 4 ohms. 40x4 and 300x1. Think I'm gonna have to bridge the channels to get 100x2 since putting the Dcons in. Those rears don't seem to exist anymore. Note the Harrison Labs FMOD 30 hz inlines with just enough room to spare.

    Enclosure 2

    From the album: EddieC

    Dcons in all their low end splendor. And yes that's indoor/outdoor carpet. Lots laying around and this was a budget build. Probably change it soon..... just tacked it on for now.

    About to try it now..... ok....I see now. No image extensions in this community. Well I tried elsewhere and got the same results. How do I post pics here? I'm entering the img codes at the beginning and end of the link to no avail.

    Thanks guys...I'll be posting more soon. Went by the local "cookie cutter" audio shop today and those guys were blown away by the lows these things hit! And so am I.....

    Box design for 2 12" Dcons

    That I'm not the expert on.... just following advice from others. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in. I will say though, that on the SMD link to my box design.... the guy who designed it recommended setting the ssf to 28 hz. That's 4 hz lower than the box itself.
  17. Hey guys. New to the board here so I hope this isn't a played out topic...... but the only design I can find on SSA's site is for a single sub. Is there one floating around somewhere? The only one I could find on the net was here ----> http://www.*****.com/board/topic/158983-need-a-ported-box-design-for-2-12-ssa-dcons/ Is this a good one to try? I noticed all the youtube vids I've seen with 2 the box looks like the single enclosure design, with the port to the far side of the face. Thanks in advance.

    Box design for 2 12" Dcons

    That may work for ya.... but here's the inlines. Work very nice! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harrison-Lab-F-Mod-FMOD-30hz-Subsonic-Rumble-Filter-XOs-/290506420336? Just make sure u can spare an extra couple of inches past amp dimensions if u do go with inlines. They just fit under my seat.

    Awesome! Got my dcons during the last sale.....what a difference quality subs make in a system. Noone can believe it when I tell em it's "ONLY" 300 watts....especially when the roof of the ride starts rippling......hehe

    Read a bad review about the in-lines causing noise.... but how about this: http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Storm-Laboratories-S4EQ-Equalizer/dp/B000O50VEQ/ref=pd_sim_e_9 Sub crossover frequency range of 30-250 Hz. Seems to be what a lot of people are buying them for, with good reviews. Not to mention extremely affordable. Wrong thing....won't let me edit. This has ssf. http://www.amazon.com/Power-Acoustik-BASS-12C-Restoration-Proccessor/dp/B003UR4RWW/ref=pd_sim_e_57 First product has a LPF, not a HPF/SSF on the subwoofer channel. Long Answer The last product has a HPF/SSF adjustable from 35hz to 80hz with a relatively shallow slope (12dB). The enclosure you linked to from SMD is supposedly tuned to 32hz, so your ssf will be a bit higher than your enclosure tuning. Whether that tuning point and/or shallow slope will work for you--I don't know. Wouldn't hurt to download WinISD, model the drivers in the enclosure from SMD, and apply the filter in comparison to ~30hz 18dB filter, and compare the frequency response and excursion graphs. Perhaps someone else can chime in, currently I don't have access to WinISD. Short Answer I would use it if I needed to be playing music soon, but it may not be the best choice. I went ahead and ordered the Harrison Labs inlines. The more I read, sounded like they'd be good for my application. Most people seemed to love them. I ordered the 30 Hz version, which should put me in the safe zone. Thanks for the input!

    HU is a DUAL XHD7714.... nothing special, but has Bluetooth and gets the job done. It does have a sub adjustment to it, which I only use at lower volumes to even out the sound. Amp KAC7005PS specs: 40x4 and 300x1 at 4 ohms 50x4 and 500x1 at 2 ohms variable low pass filter on subwoofer channel (50-200 Hz at 24dB per octave) separate variable high pass filters on f & r channels (50-200 Hz at 12 dB/octave) variable bass boost on sub channel (0-18 dB at 40 Hz) I'm running 2 s4 ohms in parallel to achieve the 2 ohm load for the subs.
