    I could've went with 1 driver, but they don't like to be played much below 120hz.

    of course not those NEED a ported enclosure

     

    That's the thing

     

    I didn't want to do those kind of mods in this car. The OEM panels cost a small fortune. 

     

    I was originally going to get the panels that were made for 2 mids per door, but I got these at a steal.

    Recently acquired an e36 m3 coupe. 

     

    During the hunt for the car, I was also able to purchase a pair of Jehnert door panels with space for 4 6.5 mids.

    I've hand picked a couple items I had laying around in the garage for this build

     

    So far I've got

     

    Kenwood DNX9980HD

    Audison Bit.1 

    Zed Dreadnought, Zed Leviathan iii, & JL 1200/1

    2 SSA Gcon 15's which I'll be trying out IB or possibly 3 JBL mkii 10's. 

    JBL 2426H horns(Found these on craigslist for 100..steal of the century)

    ID full horn bodies

     

     

    Now, for the front stage, I have 2 options.

     

    1. 4 18sound 6ND430's(4 ohm).

    2. 3 18sound 6ND430's(4 ohm) & A pair of Audax PR170M0's for midrange duties. 

     

    Which sounds more logical from a tuning standpoint?

    I've heard plenty of w7's even ones in h/o box setups. Don't get me wrong they are top notch products. As with any product, price is a main deciding factor which can ultimately dictate a consumers decision whether if the good gives enough use or enjoyment at it's cost. I can say as an enthusiast my desires were well satisfied at a greatly reduced cost. Yes, maybe I was mistaken to outright claim the xcon as a better driver. My opinion just happens to factor pricing, which ultimately is one of the bigger deciding factors upon purchasing a product. A brand new 13w7 goes for about 1k, a xcon 15" will run you $450. Theoretically lets say offered 3/4 the performance and reliability of a JL, your average consumer most likely consider the xcon a better purchase due to diminishing returns spending the extra $500 for a 25% increase in product satisfaction. Or else Fi, SSA, ascendant etc would not have a market to work with if JL was superior in every way (price, quality, service).

    Say that you liked the xcon then. 

     

    Can the xcon get louder? Yes

    Sound better? Yes

     

    Do both better than a w7 in ideal applications? No. 

     

    You're doing the w7 a great disservice.

     

    They really shouldn't be compared in the first place.

    I know what you mean! I have a Xcon 12 and it sounds amazing! I absolutely love it!! It's my new favorite sub. I bought a motor from Julian on here and ordered a recone from the SSA store. Can't wait to get the other one in.

    2 12's ? Man i already feel myself beginning deaf after a 30 second blast with my 15" be careful man!Lol! These subs are really astounding especially at their price range. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to exceed w7 performance for a better buck.

    Great sub, but let's chill out with saying it's better than a w7.

    Pro audio was the best thing to ever happen to my ears.

    low standards

    Possibly. 

     

    I couldn't really get a dynamic sounding setup with a conventional car audio speakers.

     

    Or should I say, I couldn't get what I wanted from them. 

     

    The pro stuff matched my goals.
