How much would my brand new 15" Xcon sell for?

[30DZ 0]

I bought a brand new 15" xcon d2 from SSA for $388 back in early September. I've had it all this time just sitting here, since we've been working on getting a custom box designed, I've gone through so much frustration that I'm just wanting to give up and not deal with this anymore.

How much do you think I would be able to sell this sub for? Still it's in brand new condition, never used, like I said never connected or used even once, and can be vouched for by another member here Dustin (DC-Creations - custom box builder), who I actually met with, all we did was screw in the sub into the box but, we couldn't get the box to fit in the trunk. So, couldn't use it.

Also just to be clear, it wasn't Dustin's fault the box didn't fit. I'm a real idiot. It's my first time, never had a custom box built. This is how stupid I am, this was the 2nd box we tried that didn't fit. The first time I measured the inside of the trunk instead of the outer area of the trunk opening that the box goes in through, so the box couldn't fit in. The 2nd time I measured it again, got the box drove 3 hrs to meet Dustin got there, tried to get the new box to fit, now it seems when I measured it from the bottom of the trunk opening, I failed to see there is a latch that opens and closes the trunk which adds to the height, was in the way and keeping it from going in. Went to the store to get pliers to get it removed, did that, went a little further in, then I don't know what, the box was still too big, it wouldn't go in completely, really close but, I since the trunk isn't a perfect square or rectangle there were parts of the trunk that wouldn't let it go in, so the box was still too big.

Just too frustrated with it all, and just want to say fuck it, maybe the universe is telling me something and doesn't want me to have a bangin system. What a 4 month tease lol oh well fuck it, my loss is whoevers gain.

So how much do you think this would go for? Also, I didn't create a thread in the classifieds yet, want to see what I might be able to get, since I might might might..possibly possbily decide to try it for the 3rd time lol the thing is that each time I have to pay to get the box re-built each time (and it's not Dustin's fault, i know as you can tell I'm just stupid) but, then I'd have to take another 3 hr drive up there, it's just frustrating me what I went through and thinking fuck it.

Do you think I could get $300 for it? Don't PM me or anything or tell me you want to buy it, if anybody does then I'll just create a formal thread in the classifieds area with pictures with username on the sub, etc. Dustin has the sub right now, you could probably make a deal with him as well to get a custom box done for this sub.

Umm.. Get a piece of cardboard make a mock-up box. If it fits make your enclosure that size.

Yeah man don't get discouraged, have Dustin measure or mock up a box. Or sell it to me for $100.

that's why most people fold down the seats in the rear and slide it into the trunk from there.

And if your seats don't fold down....

I'm sure they can be taken out some how.

Much easier said than done man.

Yeah plus you run the chance of the box not being able to fit that way creating a wasted effort. Or wouldn't e able to get enough box volume for it that way. But OP why don't you build the box in the trunk?

Most it's just a metal clip that holds the seat in, in numerous cars that I've worked on that's been the case.

My car I had to:

Unclip the seat bottom (easy)

Remove two bolts from seat back and remove (easy)

Remove a piece of sheet metal that supported the seat back involved ~10 screws and several rivets that had to be hammered loose (kind of a pain/Moderate)

This left me with an odd shaped opening that I had to hammer into a big enough shape to make it usable, this involved many cuts and bruises to get the result that I wanted. This step obviously will reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle which had to be addressed. (Very time consuming and takes a lot of work to get your "stock" look back/Hard)

In conclusion I consider myself to be above average in the install department and this wasn't "easy". So suggesting that someone who can't properly measure their trunk opening take on this task doesn't make sense to me.

As long as it's still in new condition, I think you could get about $300 or so out of it.

We did take a look at it from the front where the seats fold down, it seemed like it might but, the amps are setup on the back of the seats. If it would fit it would be really close and we would have to spend some time disconnecting amps etc. We were meeting up in the middle of a wal-mart parking lot, spent almost 3 hours there trying. Anyway Dustin knows what he's doing so if it would have fit through there for sure without taking a risk of losing effort for nothing if it wouldn't, I'm sure he would have done it.

Dunno if you'd be interested, but I'd trade my three BNIB Sundown Audio SA-8 D2's for it, just a thought.

Dont be discouraged, my first box didnt fit into my trunk at first, i actually needed to remove the top of it, slide it in, put the top and woofer on once the box was actually in my trunk and glue/screw it down once everything was in. Once you get it done, youll love it, and the Xcon is a serious driver.
