Welcome .... :drink40:

Read through the Tech Section under the SSA Banner and all info should be there.

I have a DCON 10" and in a ported enclosure it has great output and excellent sq imo. SSA sub woofers are SQ first but they broke the mold with the new ZCON!

As a proud owner of two zcons I would have to say best buy for my audio addiction. The amount of output they have while keeping the sound quality Ssa is known for

I have not finished the specific box specs for the Zcon's yet. Once I do, we will get our designer on them and have designs posted up just like our other drivers have.

These are the unofficial specs for the Zcon enclosures. I was not happy with what I was seeing with my initial specs on the 18, so I am still messing around with it some. Also, the optimal specs are not a must, people are so hung up on building the optimal specs and those who are limited space wise are scared off. The optimal box sizing is more for greater efficiency and slightly flatter response, IF YOU HAVE THE SPACE. If not, the standard designs still give awesome performance. For example, the Zcon 12 in a 2.0 @ 27hz box I have, is just bonkers. So people don't need to absolutely go up to 3 cubes, as 2 can be plenty. Box sizing speaker to speaker, the Zcon leans a little smaller then the Xcon, as they are quite different subs. There will be no sealed enclosure specs for the Zcon.

Zcon 12:

Ported: 1.75-2.5ft^3 @ 29-34hz

Ported: 2.5-3.25ft^3 @ 29-34hz optimal

Zcon 15:

Ported: 2.75-3.25ft^3 @ 29-34hz

Ported: 4.0-5.0ft^3 @ 29-34hz optimal

Zcon 18:

Ported: 5.75-7.0ft^3 @ 29-34hz

Ported: 7.0-8.0ft^3 @ 29-34hz optimal

The Zcons are the best sounding balls out loud subs I have ever herd. On another level, IMO.

Others may disagree and no I have not herd all of them, , but I would have to hear it for myself to believe it.

We do not rate MAX wattage. That amp is fine, just sent the gains properly and listen to make sure you are not over driving the sub woofer or over heating the coils.

Mark found a new table system, and I think it looks much more professional, so we ran through it last night to get it knocked out. Dcon 15 enclosure specs were hammered out last night too.
