How does it "appear" to be 4 ohm?

Looks very sexy. Slogan fits ;) I'm first in line for these!

What?

They will come in D4 and D2 Coils.

Side note, the D4 models will be sold first, as we are awaiting the D2 coils still. By the time production starts, these could be in though...

Hope so! Need D2 to get down to 1 ohm.

Yes, if running a single sub, you would want a D2.

Not a problem, just get 4 D2's then, they will wire down to 1ohm load with series/parallel wiring.

Wire each sub in series to 4ohm, then parallel them all down to 1ohm.

Exactly, that's why I said I hope the D2 coils get here before production so there isn't any longer wait for them :)

My bad for flying through the topic.

Yes, they will get here within a few weeks, really shouldn't be an issue.

Ok, dumb question. I have an Orion Cobalt 500.1. It does 250 watts at 2 ohms. I don't plan on upgrading/getting anything that puts out more power any time soon. What would be a better use of the wattage I have: a Dcon or Gcon?

Gcon would give you room to upgrade a little in the future and be a little more efficient with the power you give it. Build it a big box and it should do well :)

What pre-order? We have never done one before. I am not comfortable accepting orders before product is ready to build or ship.

      Hello! This is my first post here. Crossing my fingers that I'm not breaking any forum rules. I have a 12 inch GCON ordered and the wait is killing me already. I've already purchased an amp and box for this sub and I'd like to have any willing opinions on my choices. 
       
      The amp:
      http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43132_Hifonics-GLX1800.1D.html
       
      The enclosure:
      http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19279_Belva-Sub-Box-1SV12B-Belva.html
       
       
      A few questions:
      How did I do? Will this pound like crazy?  How much impact will my smaller than suggest enclosure have on the sound? Ported good? How should I wire this beast-sub to this amp? (I'm thinking just running it at 650w @ 4ohms to avoid problems with the following...) Will I need to upgrade my factory wiring in my ride? My battery? My alternator? If I did wire it for 1200w @ 2ohms would this be bad for the sub? (considering I don't roll around pounding at super high volume levels, plus the gain would probably be turned down in this scenario)  It's going to be a long wait for this puppy. I'm fairly certain (hopeful) this will be the best system I've ever owned. A couple a months ago my humble 300w amp and single 12" infinity sub was stolen. My wife gave me a 500 budget to replace it with our tax money.. yea.. $490 spent so far, honey!
       
      Thanks for your feedback and thoughts my fellow bass-lovers.
       
       
      Edit: Oh I forgot one more question! My car currently has a 4 gauge power wired to the trunk. I think if I wire it for 4 ohms I'll be safe right? What would happen if I wired it for 2 ohms?

      Have a 12" GCON in a sealed box. It sounds great but I am wanting more and I know the sub will give it to me if I can put it in the right enclosure. I used the ICON enclosure design for the sealed box it is in now, would the ICON ported design work well for the GCON as well? It falls into the optimal range, 2.5f^3 tuned to 33hz. It is a 2 ohm sub with 500 watts powering it in the trunk of a '96 accord. I have about 32" x 20" x 18" to work with. Anyone have any experience or recommendations for a ported box design that will work well with the GCON?

      I'm still waiting for the GCON 10-D2 to actually arrive, but figured I'd take the time to look for a amp to power this beast now. It will be in a sealed box, in a saturn ion 2003. Looking to present a 1ohm load at amplifier, since I'm assuming that power at 4ohms is asking too much for my budget. No HO alt, or big 3 done yet, assuming it won't be needed yet though.
      I was mostly wondering if I'd need to feed it the full 750w, or if I could get by with less, near the 500w level? Just wondering as my budget is a bit tight currently, and I was hoping to grab the amp for under $150.
      Given what I've listed, would any of these amps work well, or are there others I should be considering? All listed are CEA-2006 compliant, so I'm assuming they all do rated.
      1. Concept CC-D1200 (Apparently 750W @ 1ohm stable, manufacturer refurb, so not new)
      2. Massive Audio N2 (800w @ 1ohm)
      3. PPI BK650.1D (650w @ 1ohm)
      4. Hifonics GLX1000.1D (1000w @ 1ohm)
      5. MB Quart ONX1.1000D (1000w @ 1ohm)
      Thanks for taking the time to look, hoping I get some great feedback!
