New Member Checking In From Alaska

[osiris10012 8]

Hello everyone,

 

Just wanted to introduce myself. I live in Alaska, been here for a year. I drive a nissan titan and am currently running a sundown e10v2 off a PPI BK1800.1D(I know overkill. lol) and sky high audio wiring. I plan to upgrade to an SSA Xcon 12" here very soon. Can't wait to learn from the SSA forum members.

Anchorage???!? Not much bass up here unfortunately.

[osiris10012 8]

Worse, Fairbanks. Lol. Unfortunately the audio shops up here suck too. I really haven't ran into any bass heads up here. Only been here a year though.

from my experience almost all audio shops suck no matter where you are. Not all but most.. I bet shipping is a killer up there.

Heck yeah it does. It is going to cost me $150 to ship up a single xcon 12". It's painful but for once I feel it's worth it. Lol

I run a single 12 zcon and people ask me if I have 2 15s. I dont see how you couldn't be happy with any ssa product. Xcons are nice subs as well and I would pay the shipping if I lived up that way. I promise you will be impressed.. build a proper box and hit it with plenty of power and just sit back n smile.

[osiris10012 8]

Glad to here you love your zcon. I don't have enough power on tap for that beast. Lol. That's one of the reasons I chose the xcon. My amp is rated for 1800 rms so I thought the 2 would be a perfect match. I had a good laugh today. My buddy wanted to hear my current set up and was absolutely shocked at the output my little sundown e10 has. I told him just wait until I get the new beast of a sub, this thing is nothing compared to it. I was actually contemplating trying to find enough room for the 15" model, but I don't know if in want to give up that much room. I really need to decide because I plan to order in a couple weeks.

[altoncustomtech 773]

I wouldn't suggest moving on the 15 unless you were CERTAIN you could fit a proper enclosure with adequate port area and bracing and such. The 12 in the enclosure you designed could very well outperform the 15 if it were in a subpar enclosure. The enclosure is everything to how well a sub performs. Don't waste your money on the 15 if you're not willing or physically unable to give it the enclosure it needs and deserves.

[osiris10012 8]

Thanks for the advise Alton. I am going to stick with the 12. I am pretty sure I could make the 15 work but I don't think it's worth the headache of finding the room for it. If I didn't need some of my rear seat it wouldn't be a problem. Lol
