1211 rms on thunder 9500 is the video name on YouTube. That is my current set up until I receive my xcon. I will post pics of box when it is finished and of current set up.

I ordered my 12" xcon dual 2 and the battery. Also got the box being made. Will seem like an eternity while I wait.

Thanks a lot. After some side jobs and i get the sub I'll let you know how it works out.

Thanks again. On the corners of the port do i sand them to a rounded edge? Will be my first ported box. Got any tips or pointers? You suggest forward firing or rear? If forward firing should i seal it off from the trunk? I know i would feel the lows on a forward firing set up but i have heard that you might not hear them as well because they are a long sound wave and need as much distance as possible before they reach your ear. Any truth to this?

Hey Quentin I appreciate your time and expertise.. I'll probably kerf the port.

Yes sir 13"h by 32"w is the opening with the back seats down

Through trunk opening was 19W x 14.25H x 16D and through the back seats was 13H x 32W.

I will measure the box i got in there now because that was about all we could fit, that was with using the spare tire well to get it through the trunk opening and the bottom latch on the trunk removed. Give me about 15 min

I want the bass to be accurate. I listen to a lot of rock but love the bass from rap/hip hop, bass music. My sealed 12 now has deep good sounding bass and I'm still looking for that but just ok a higher lvl.Due to the qualities of a ported enclosure, when designed so it will always produced more pronounced lower deeper bass. Doing a 12 ported would result in more volume over an xcon 15 sealed and have no audible difference in sound quality. With the ported, is there any difference between aero port or slot port? With an aero port you can change tuning frequency by changing the aero port, right? I want a good frequency range for the different types of music i listen but i really love it when it gets low. What do you suggest on tuning frequency and it should be rear firing for both the port/sub?

If i do go ported i would most likely get the zcon. I was goin with the xcon due to the sealed option.

i bolded what i didnt understand ^ for my box i downloaded the predesigned enclosure on the website. it was the optimal box, 3.2sqf if i remmber corectly keep in mind this was my first real sub/set up. guys on this forum like quentin have been in the game alot longer than i have and have more experience. that being said i still think it sounded great and still does. What rms were you giving your single 15?

On the trunk rattles i have zero as of now. I have foamed the trunk lid and used mdf on the sides and back all sealed on the sides with onl back seat area and rear deck open. About the cancellation, I could do a stepped up design on the box so I could mount the sub rear firing and just change the dimension to accommodate. Sub would be closer to the rear of the trunk. Think there would be ant issue with that. I have never done ported. I've always had sealed.

I want the bass to be accurate. I listen to a lot of rock but love the bass from rap/hip hop, bass music. My sealed 12 now has deep good sounding bass and I'm still looking for that but just ok a higher lvl.

I could port the 15 but i want the best sq i can. I hope it will be loud enough for a while. 1two3, What size was the box with your 15 and what po wer did you have to it?
