Sneak Peak at the new GCON (Pics p5)

Recommended Posts

Well they're pucking sweet, when do we get a video of one playing? I want to see a little free air action!

I can see what I can do for you a little later on. How does free air on 1k sound?

Don't give them any ideas. The idiots will be sending them back in stating, " I saw them take 1K freeair."

Good point. I just wanted to see the spiders jumpin' around, little excursion, little walk around of the sub, yada yada. ;)

Thanks for updating the website! Looks great! Can't wait for specs so I can have my box builder start buildin! :) Do you think a pair of gcon 12's in 6cu ft slot ported on 1000rms @ 28hz would be a good target?

1k will be perfect, they are designed to be able to handle more fyi :). But 500/each will sound excellent.

Soon, very soon. As you can see, we are getting the site updated and photos done to prepare.

We are getting closer and closer to the new GCON 750W RMS Series Driver.  We have been referring to this driver up until now as the FCON as we were unsure what to call it officially.

We are going with GCON, becuase it's hits the "spot".

Here is a sneak peak at the motor. Sorry for the crappy cell phone shot, but this is all we are releasing at this time.  Please don't ask for more, they will come when we can get the professional photos done.

It is WAY better than the Zcon in the sense that it's cheaper.

Assuming that is what you are talking about.. Otherwise, i'd suggest you read and read and read back over what you personally quoted as the potential answer lies within.

No. I'll let them reply with exactly where it'll fit in their line. The price is going to be amazing (compared to the zcon, lol), so keep that in mind with where it'll fit.

We are rating them at 750w RMS I do believe was the thought on them...

You are not sure what the wrms rating is on the driver you are selling?

We inched it up a few times, and the Gcon is not for sale yet. Pricing, wattage ratting and production specs are not officially released yet.

What changes are being made?

The motor design was changed several times, suspension switched twice, coil changed, surround changed, dust cap changed. The drivers you see in the pictures Mark just posted are production ready drivers. Same as with the Zcon, we are doing last minute things and finalizing everything up before listing them up on the SSA Store.

what? You mean you don't just slap an ssa sticker on it and call it yours?

Do you read, or is everything just given to you on a silver platter.

Seriously? You guys have a say in your woofers instead of letting someone else make all the big boy decisions

Whoahhh its a Fourm when you ask a question you ask everyone unless otherwise specified.

To clear things up before anymore problems brew, The Gcon is to feel the gap between the Dcon and the Icon as previously stated. You asked about performance and if it were better than the Zcon. To answer that with out knowing your goals would be misleading info. If your looking for a awsome sounding 750w rms driver than the Gcon may be better performing to you than the Zcon, however if your looking to throw but loads of power at it than the Zcon would be a better choice as that is not what the Gcon is designed for. I wouldnt say one is better performing than the other it is really dependant on your goals of the woofer setup ect.

I hope this helps you out. All this info was found in the thread and a quick browse through it would have answered all of your questions.

      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!
