    2001 Tahoe daily driver

    I was playing it a little bit earlier in the day to make sure everything was hooked up and working correctly. Surprised no one called the cops. The xcon 15 had the cops cruising around in the past. The sub has less than an hour of play time on it and is super damn stiff but I can get some good flex as it is.

    The still photos are on the blue setting, but I decided to take a video as well because the photos didn't seem to be doing any justice for how cool it looks. To me anyway. Here is the video of the light show as well. Beware of flashing lights/colors!

    I used everbilt from Home Depot. I think that is their house brand for hardware. They accept 1/4"x20 machine screws and are 30mm long. A 5/16" drill bit seemed to be just right.

    A few unboxing pics of the new Trident 18. Threaded inserts are in the box.

    What? No second row amp armrest? XS Power armrest instead I see?

    Desperate need of some help

    I read mention of checking power and ground connections, but didn't see any result. Have you checked them all? Also, where is your volt meter wired to? Is it wired to the rear battery? Or somewhere up front in the vehicle?

    If you started a thread about the subject, myself as well as others would lend a word, but I would appreciate my build thread staying as such. No offense to you, I just hate clutter.

    The pic is a little grainy and makes the box look kinda grey. The can on the far left is what I used.

    Thanks, the blue with the glaze coat on it came out better than I expected. Just debating on ordering a led controller or just wiring a few switches to change the RGB. Already added a main power switch for the leds in the dash.

    Just waiting on the sub now.

    How Much Do You Throw At Your XCONs? (Daily)

    You could run a smaller box and more power if you were dead set on it. You likely won't see much gain in output and you will be stressing your equipment in the process. This game is full of trade-offs, just need to figure out where your priorities lie.

    1700 watts sealed, then 1900 watts ported(2 different amps) on my single xcon 15 was pretty fun. 1 2500 on 2 12" should be nice? You should tell your friend that he gets to replace stuff when it breaks.

    how did you manage that? Sealed box so I never smelled the coil smoking and I wasn't paying attention. Was clipping the hell out of the signal.

    How Much Do You Throw At Your XCONs? (Daily)

    Well, I originally had just 1 2500d but the person whom is helping me with the install said that I should get another. He informed me that is better to have more power on tap than is needed and typically better to have double the power that is needed for the subs in any particular amp so that the amp does not have to work as hard. I personally don't care what they are ran at as long as it is loud and clean (I think he advised running them down at .5 b/c thats the only way i could wire them in which each amp would support.) I think i can also wire each sub to each amp at 2 ohms as well (which is 1700wrms). They are going in my 2006 Honda Accord EXL Coupe v6 We are planning on building a box that is around 5 cu ft w/ a 8" aero port Electrical: Under hood - Kinetik 1200 (40ah) Big 3 (All 0 Gauge OFC - 400 amp fuse) Singer 240 Amp HO Alt 2 Runs of 0 Gauge OFC + Back - 2 Kinetik 3800 (270ah) fyi - also running 16 speakers (8 mids, 8 tweets) off of 2 Orion 4002 amps Hope that helps to clarify a few things. Now we are getting somewhere. Electrical seems pretty decent for what you would like to run. Building a box on the larger side of the recommended size would allow you to use one amp and still let the subs stretch their legs. Both amps at half ohm would be hard on the alt and batteries and probably a little silly, but that's just me.

    Heck yea man, why do you think I'm running my zcon at half ohm on a bc3500?

    For what it's worth, I killed an xcon on ~1700 watts. It was my own fault, but it just shows what user error can do at rated power, let alone nearly double that.

    How Much Do You Throw At Your XCONs? (Daily)

    From what is written here, I wouldn't recommend going over the rated limit of the sub or the amp. Why are you wanting to throw so much at them? Why are you wanting to run the impedance down so low? What vehicle is this going in? What about the box? Or even electrical of said vehicle? This is one of those situations of, "If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't." I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to help prevent possible equipment failure.

    Recone Question

    Budget may come into play here too. With 2 zcons, the 5500 would be the better amp choice of the options listed. If budget and space permits, more cone area is the easiest way to get louder.

    Recone Question

    As long as everything is wired well, that should keep a 3500 afloat ok unless you intentionally overdo it.
