how much power should i run to the ssa x con

Recommended Posts

Really depends a lot on the enclosure. Ran mine (18 inch xcon) with a crescendo 1500, ~7.6 cubic ft 30hz basically no sub sonic filter. Any more power in this box would have needed an ssf for playing below like 25 hz. If I wasn't playing such low stuff all of the time and or a slightly different box I would have thrown much more at it.

The company gives a power recommendation but you choose to ignore it, I see recones in your future. Just  because you see videos were people claim to give double the rms or anything foolish like that then you already are worried about the wrong things in car audio.

The SSA Xcon doesn't need gobs of power to function.  People have run them on 500 watts to 2500 watts.  It is all on the needs, enclosure, and preferences of the install.

Inaudible difference to overpower but much higher risk of damage. Pretty pointless waste of $$

No, you should run something dynamic....of course by default you'll have to.

 

Again, you will NOT hear a difference from 1400 to 1750 so STOP worrying about it.  Buy a real amp, set it up right and let the Xcon do its thing.

Yeah the Sundown would be perfect as there is no problem with underpowering a subwoofer.

I'm running my 10" XCON on a Sundown SAZ-1500Dv1 and have been for a couple years now with no issues and it gets loud enough to make my ears get that tickled feeling.

The 1500 is just fine, no such thing as under powering a sub.
