Hey people I am going to be getting 2 DCON 10's for under the back seat of my pickup, and I know that the optimum recommended ported box is 1.25 @ 33hz after displacement, so my question is, since this will be in a pick up under the back seat, with the subs forward firing and the ports are going to be on the sides of the box firing into the doors, what type of port should I use, aero ports or slot ports. Also if I should go with aeros, what size and what length, and if I should go with slot ports, what dimensions, also I say a guy on here that put his DCON 10 in a 1.3 cu. ft. box @ 33 hz, what advantages and disadvantages will I see by going with this size over the 1.25 r…

i searched and searched and have found only 1 person that posted up numbers with there xcon and i think it was like 142. did anyone else get there xcon metered? if so... was it a 15''?12''? single sub dual? what kinda amp...?? another question i have is i just found out that i cant fit a 15'' unless its inverted and in a smaller box so im stuck with getting a 12. how much low end and air movement you think im gonna loose going with a 12 compared to a 15?

im thinking about getting an xcon 15 but wanna see if i should use my old box or make a new one. old box is 3.4cf after displacement using 2 4inch pvc ports tuned to 30-31hz. would that be good enough for an xcon 15 or should i go bigger? amp will probally be a kicker kx1200.1 or something similar.

This is no major thing, I was just looking on this page for the Xcon 18 box cutouts, and noticed you guys had the diameter for the 15's cutout listed as the 18's. SSA Xcon 18" Sub woofer1750rms 31mm Xmax

Posted up on DIYma: After a few weeks, there's not much I can say other than this is the best sub I've ever owned. It's simply amazingly accurate. It's perfect for the setup I had envisioned for my car: single amp driving passives up front and sub with the rear channel. Small sub box, moderate power requirements. I bought the single 4-ohm version, which gets fed a healthy 400 watts from my Exile amp. Low-pass is around 90Hz, higher than I want, but my Alpine mids are the limiting factor right now. These days I mostly listen to electronica, but I've had the Focal CD's downloaded for some time now. I finally got them burned to CD, and thought what the hell, it's been a whi…

In the next few days we will be adding a Technical Section to the home page. here you will find detailed enclosure plans for all of our subs; ported, sealed, dual ported and sealed Here's a taste of whats to come. of course, if you need custom designs built, contact JBLCAMRY, he'll be happy to help out out. (for a small fee or course)

Been working with Thumper on building a box for my 2001 s-10 xcab. After many measurements and alot of emails, it looks like I'm going with 3 12" xcons in my truck. My questions are on the xcons should I get the 1ohm or 2ohm subs. And my plan is to use Sundown amps so which would be better the saz3500d or the saz4500d. I work in law enforcement and do alot of police /saftey fair shows plus other shows and comps. This will be a daily driver but I will compete with it so thats why I ask the question about what ohm I should buy.

I am thinking about getting 2 DCON 10's D4's and wiring them to 4 ohms and my amp is 1000 watts @ 4 ohms and I want to know is 500 a piece is to much for these, also what will be the best size ported enclosure and what should I tune it to

orion says sealed enclosures are louder to ear than ported ones. my goals are good sq but with the ability to get loud too. so it thats true that sealed is perceived louder than ported i might go with it. whats your experience there?

Some backstory about me..... OK, I've been into audio for a few years. I always ran what the locals consider inferior or off brand subs. There's just something great about running paper cone house subs (adire audio shivas) and beating everyone in town in the spl comps I wanted to improve on my previous score of 148.7 on the dash using 2 shivas. (The meter was a terrasonde xmeter that I suspect measures about 6-8 db higher than a TL) I ran 2 S15L7's for about a year and only hit a 150.5 on that same meter. I was still the loudest person in town, but I know in the spectrum of spl comps, that setup was a joke. I decided to build a wall that summer. Well, after some tr…

I feel like a little kid waiting on christmas to open presents. I have been reading over and over on this forum. I just placed an order for 2 Icon 12d1 subs and a Sundown sae1200 amp. Once they come in a build log with pics will follow. I have heard nothing but great things about the customer support from SSA that really sold me along with all the people on this forum backing it up. I know I will be very happy with this decision. I am excited, can't wait, and had to share it. I am sure many of you have had this feeling before.

Ive spent all day trying to figure out how to calculate ports and design a box that would fit in my truck like i want it, now im wondering is it even worth it? In yalls opinion what would sound better for a 10" dcon, a small ported box or the optimum sealed. Either box would be sitting in the center of the backseat with the sub firing up in a Crew Cab Colorado. Amp would give 420+ RMS at 2 Ohms or 210+ RMS at 4 Ohms. Just dreaming atm but thats half the fun. Thanks in advance for all the help

hi i have a bxi 2610d and now im looking for good woofer(s) and narrowed it down to xcon or l7. my goal is to hit the lows damn good and im not concerned in higher frequenzies. in other words i want to shacke my whole car, maybe hairtrick, window shacke, etc. either id get 2 15" l7 or 1 18" xcon. both setups would be in the max recommended ported enclosure. but personally ive never heard an xcon and dont have the chance to do it.

Hi all, I'm considering a false floor, but depth will be a factor. I can't seem to find the depth for the 12 and 15" xcons on the site (store or the SSA site). Anyone got info to share? thanks

has anyone heard the ssa xcon in a sealed enclosure?i would love to do 2 15"s xcon in my dodge charger but i think i can only do 15s if i do a sealed enclosur..

Will be running it off a DLS A7 Sub channel at 2 ohm getting 440-500 watts. Can the 10 handle this in a 1.2cube ported box?

Hello, It is just a little review of my last subwoofer. I was running an Icon 15 dvc 2 in a 3.5 cubic feet box tuned at 32 Hz. The box was designed by Fisher customs and built by a friend for his xcon. He since, changed box, so I managed to get the old one! The Icon is one of the most accurate sub I've ever heared. I love the fact that it is loud but can play ALL the bass notes. Lot of subs plays all the notes, but this one is quite flat : like if all the notes are played at the same (high) volume. (My vocabulary is limited, so I can't really explain everything as I would !!!) The amp is a Sundown saz 1000 d. My car is a hatchback Toyota Auris.

And if so how would these compare to two level four 12's? Kinda coming from two ends of a spectrum, but I am just tossing around ideas for the next system and am wanting to start pretty soon.

hi id like to order an ssa subwoofer (maybe xcon) but how to do so? i live in europe.

Well, I ended up pushing my sub too hard and fried one of the tinsel leads. So now I'm rethinking what I want to do. After looking around the SSA store, I think I've decided to go with a DCON with the single 4 ohm coil option. My amp does 300 @ 4 ohms and 600 @ 2 ohms. I plan on running just a single one for now, and adding a second one in a few months (once the weather warms up and I can build a box for them). Sound like a good plan? I've been wanting to try some SSA's for a while now.

I have an 04 Toyota Tacoma Pre-runner xtra cabwith the big 3 done in 1/0,a DC Power 190 amp alternator,the wire for the amps are already run 1/0 for the sub amp 4 fr the mid/high amp both done in Kicker brand I already have an enclosure with intergrated amp rack already installed in the truck,the enclosures are sealed at 1.7 per side for 12's,my amp choice is (1) saz2000d for the subs and (1) saz125.2 for the mids and highs which are currently Infinity.My music i listen to is rap/hip hop and classic rock;I am looking for some really low end with high output,my question is what woud be a better suited sub for this application and power an (2) ICON,D1 or (2) XCON,D1.Thanks …

I just bought 2 10" dcons, and now i need to build an enclosure. Im just not sure what what style I should do. They're going into my 1990 bmw 325i. The trunk is pretty much a steel coffin, there is no opening in the rear seat or anything. What i was thinking of doing is removing the rear speakers and porting directly through those holes (1 port per sub). Anyways, what box style best suits these subs? Should I go with subs facing rear, porting through the top? Some have suggested I build a bandpass setup, but I have no idea how to make one of those. If anyone feels kind enough to make up some blueprints, the trunk space I have to work with is 15.5" high by 3ft wide, and as…

Well, we spent some money today . What we spent it on was a professionally produced video for SSA Sub's. John, who is producing the video currently has 3 Video's on MTV! Just looking at the footage we took, this video should be like nothing you've seen before as far as excursion videos go. Also, we plan to stream this on the home page and our youtube home page. Editing should take a few days. Hopefully he doesn't get side tracked in the process. Here's a little pic I took while he was working. Link to his other video's: john colombo on Vimeo UPDATE: btw, the guy in the video is our very own Sound=Vibration from SSA forums...

Doing a install and have 400 watts to give substage and want to use one of the ssa woofers. Going to be in back of suv,ported box,listento mostly rap . What would be a good match? 1 dcon or 2dcons. Or a single icon

I am gonna be building a sealed enclosure for my 15" xcon it will be powered by 300rms Its gonna be going in the front of my living room, Should I fire the sub down or point it at the wall? What size should my enclosure be for good deep bass response in a sealed setup? Any ideas or tips?
