Yes I would plan to keep it at 4 ohms. I guess my goals are to keep the box below the screen things that hides the possessions in the trunk. I need to get the measurements but I'm thinking I will have to have to sub fire up. My plans are to replace all the speakers in the doors and power those as well. I listen to all types of music but more electronoic/dubstep than anything else. Not doing any competitions or anything I feel pretty confident that no matter what I do the sub will pound with it being in the back seat. VS before it was in the trunk of my car In a ported box. Let me know if I forgot anything else Thank you

I did a quick search and it seems like an XCON in a sealed box is acceptable but curious to hear some additional opinions and or suggestions for a new setup in my New Jeep. I have had my 12" XCON powered by a Rockford T1500 running at 4ohms in a large ported box (forget dimensions) and it's been great for years. I'm looking to put a new system in my Jeep Grand Cherokee but I don't want the huge box in the back exposed. So I'm leaning towards a sealed setup. I could switch it up all together but I'd prefer to use the gear I already have. Opinons? Box design suggestions? Anyone else have a Jeep GC?

The 21 days is rarely close to accurate. Plan on 45+ business days.... If you do this you will have more accurate expectations... In the off chance they beat it.. bonus! That being said they make awesome subs! I love my XCON. i would not think twice about ordering another but the 21+ bus day delivery is misleading.

Out of curiosity why is it that single din decks offer better sq?

Not interested in either..... So far that is the "best" I've found with the criteria I've set. Again I'm open to suggestions that may be better while still falling into the double din non nav units.

Lol. Care to elaborate or make a suggestion?

I think I found a front runner... Kenwood eXcelon DDX-8901HD

Thanks. Yeah I have very limited skills in this area. Never actually amp'd the door speakers. I'm just going one step at a time and I figured I should get the Head-unit first and build out from there.

Use a good quality one with a mini dsp. There are so many options. Running active will give you the best "SQ". yeah sorry I guess I'm still pretty noob when it comes to most of this stuff. I don't want to have to run a separate dsp. I want the best SQ I can get given the limited budget I'm working with an limited expertise. I'm not planning to get crazy or anything. I want to have some powered speakers with a 4 channel amp ~75rms per channel. My car has 6.5" speakers in the doors and tweeters up on the dash. probably looking to spend ~$200ish give or take on the front speakers and probably less on the rear. I know most people say to ignore the rear but I do want to have speakers back there. Is there a simple way to understand active vs passive? Isn't active using a DSP?

I'm nearly positive I will not be running active front stage.

I'd prefer to keep it around $500 give or take.

Any recommendations out there? I'm looking to get a Double DIN Non Nav unit with at least 4v preouts. I will have powered door speakers and then my SSA XCON in the rear powered by the RF T1500. Thanks for any recommendations.

Xcon here

Mark me down for another xcon lover Mine impresses me everyday and I daily it for more than 2 hrs a day. The output will not disappoint. Awesome sounding sub.

How big is that box? How are you fitting it in a mustang?
