    Is something wrong with my XCON?

    Truck has been under the knife and the sub issue was on the back burner. I think i know why there is a rattle type noise, looks like my foam surround is coming apart from the cone. Guess ill be looking at a recone or surround kit to fix it

    Is something wrong with my XCON?

    Sorry guys i got caught up working on the truck and putting a new headunit in. Pioneer DEH-X6600BT. Its late so i couldnt crank it up, but for some reason or another the bass sounds a lot better/cleaner. Maybe my old HU had an issue, ill post back results tmrw before i start trouble shooting. Thanks

    Is something wrong with my XCON?

    Fixing to go out and get a video, once i get it uploaded on youtube ill post a link.
  4. I have a single 10" xcon in a box i built under the seat of my crewcab dodge pickup, powered by a black ice 1300w D block run at 1ohm. I get decent bass out of it, but if i try to crank it up some i get a rattling sound from the woofer cone area. This is not with all my gain and bass knobs/levels maxed out either. Maybe im expecting to much from a 10? Just seems odd my 1300w amp is maxing out an xcon when not even cranked at full tilt. Ill post a video tomorrow so yall can see. Im no audio expert and dont have an audio shop around that hasnt tried blowing smoke up my a**.

    Dodge Crew Cab System- Suggestions?

    I've been reading today, looks like the older Alpine head units like mine usually can benefit from a line driver in terms of amount of bass produces. Ill have to check up on my HU, maybe give a line driver a shot unless someone has useful suggestions?? Edit: looks like my preamp outs are 4v

    I also am very displeased right now, maybe its my head unit but idk so i need some help here. I have an Alpine cda-7894 (upgrading soon) head unti. There are red/white "sub w." outputs on it, i have the amp plugged into these. The sub is wired to 1ohm, checked with meter, and the power and ground are 2 gauge wire. On the head unit i have the subwoofer on, but i have to turn the sub w. bass to max, stereo bass to max, and the amps remote control knob, level, and bass boost to max in order to get anything halfway decent out of it. With everything at max, i still have to crank up the stereo to get some real bass. So im guessing the headunit just isnt putting out a strong enough signal to the amp until i crank up the volume?

    I had to mount the sub on the third layer to fit the huge a** magnet in the box. Oh well. I raised both rear seats about 1". How thick do most of you guys do your fiberglass? I feel like i might need a little more, i have a hair over 1/8" thick.

    Its 60/40, yes i need both seats functional. This is the best orientation idea i have so far, nott 100% sure its possible either i have to check some measurements

    Contemplating mounting my amp on the ceiling/headliner, i really dont like the layout under the seat

    Oh, did you let it rest at an angle or shim the rear up to make it level? And this is what the setup would look like so far, im not real keen of the layout but idk whatelse i could do with the amp, its purdy so i dont want to tuck it away

    Was the seat raised in that picture? And is that 3/4 or 5/8?

    You can see the mount of the two seats in the third picture. As of right now i plan on just notching around them, and have the amp positioned off center toward the passenger side due to clearance issues with that same seat mount. I also plan to add a SECOND sub and amp down the road, so i was going to build it where they drop right in one day. So any other ideas?
