Just throwing this out there, Bromo and myself have been working on this. He says go bigger and I agree but can't do to space constraints. The box for this XCON 15 will have a volume of 3.6 after sub and bracing displacemnt tuned to 33 hz. I listen to hip hop, bass music and just about everything else. Is this box going to hurt the potential of the XCON? Is it to small. Is the tune going to seriously affect the type of music I listen to? Bromo has been a huge help as well as Alton, but I am wanting some other opinions now. Thanks

I made up my mind!!! and it's the Xcon.Since the xcon been on parole I can't stop drooling, 31 mm Xmax damn!!!! I will like to know the min. and optimal cu. ft 12''s and 15'' ported????

I dont know if i'm askin this too early but since they are available now, what is the box requirements for all XCONs? Also, what is recommended tuning?

Just got home and it was sitting on the porch. opened it up and just took a few pics with it next to my ICON. its HUGE!!! Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

We have an update. The news is that the Carbon Fiber dust caps that were originally planned for the Xcon have been delayed. But we are going to offer dust cap options. The logo will be the same regardless of option choice. By doing this we are able to keep the standard cost of the Xcon down just under the $400 mark. The XCON will have option of three dust caps: 1.) Inverted Cap (concave mica reinforced polypropylene) 2.) SSA Convex Cap (Same as Dcon and Icon) 3.) Carbon Fiber Cap (Offered at a later date) + $17 The standard Xcon dust cap offered is the inverted option which we feel with give a very clean look.

What are the sealed and ported enclosure specs on the xcon 18's?

Could anyone tell me the recommended enclosure volume for the 12" and/or the 15" XCON? Thank you in advance, J

anyone wanna see some pics of the finished product?? I just got them in, and they are the best looking speaker i've ever layed eyes on...

So I just had my xcon delivered. I know coils aren't always perfectly spot on and impedence changes , but both of my coils are reading 1.5 ohms. It's a dual 1. Is this normal?

Well guys and gals, I got the box carpeted ( not finished with looks ) and installed the amp temporary mounted to a spot in the trunk. My box worked out to be 3.6 after all bracing, double baffle, port and sub displacement, tuned at 33.9HZ. My amp is a MTX Thunder Elite 1501D , 1663 watts 1ohm at 14.4 volts. My first inital response was wow this thing sucks! Then I quickly realized that I forgot to turn the subwoofer control on the head unit up. DUH! This thing puts my two alpine type x 12's to bed. I haven't even broke her in yet and she is impressive already. Superb sounding, very clear all thru the frequency range. A little lit on the upper ranges but that c…

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

i just saw the ssa black friday sale on the 15" XCON for 289 plus shipping. even though i just got an ICON i am considering picking the XCON up. but im wondering if 1000 watts would be enough power for a while till i am able to get the proper amp for it. dont wanna do something wrong by underpowering it

My girl has an ICON on 1k in 2.5 cubes tuned to 32hz, i'm meeting full excursion on the subwoofer with our listening habits. I'm looking to upgrade to an XCON so it can handle the abuse better and so we can have possible upgrade(s) in near future. What are the Pros and Cons of upgrading? How does the XCON handle 1k? Looking for short and sweet answers Thanks guys! Dom.

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.

well one of my older set ups was an alpha on a saz1500 ported tuned to 37 hz and it was one of the best sounding subs i had ever heard. my xcon should be here this weekend so should i expect better or around the same. the alpha was one of the original models afew years ago.

Does anyone know the magnet width?

I ordered 2 12" Xcon's on September 30th, hoping they ship soon, anybody know how long it takes? It's been 27 business days and they haven't answered my calls or called me back Also, will 12 gauge speaker wire work? I will power both 12's off a Rockford fosgate T2500-1bdCP. And do they need to be broken in when I hook them up originally? Or can I play them full tilt right away as long as there's no clipping?

how much would it be to recone an 18" xcon to a 15?

does anyone know where I can recone my xcon? I was going to send it to fixmyspeaker but heard a lot of crap about psi

just wondering if anyone has run a xcon in a sealed box ? i know this woofer is a all out high power sq sub and would like to know its best application. sealed or ported in a low tune box. im thinking of doing a single 12 in the back of a suv with a 1500d or aq2200. any imfo about this sub or opinions welcomed. I know it just hit the market and there are limited amount of users

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?

i want a sub with good output and good sq, by the rms numbers it seem slike the xcon will get plenty loud for me but im worried about the sound quality. so id like to kno if anyone has heard an fi q, ssa icon or havoc or anything along those lines and heard a xcon too and if the sq is comparable? thanks.

Ive been patiently waiting on some specs for the xcon 15". Just wish you guys would hurry up and post them on the website. Thanks.

so I just hooked up my xcon today to a Rockford fosgate punch 1000x1bd doing 1400 watts rms (stock electrical for now, so I know I'm not seeing all that power) .. wow this thing sounds awesome I am only giving it .5 of airspace sealed it being a 10 inch sub. before I had a kicker cvr and even when I play the same songs I hear frequencies in songs that the cvr didn't even play. my xcon does get warm but don't blame it cause the box is small..... whoever builds these subs , please keep up the good work.

Im wondering how a Xcon will perform with 35hz tuning. I know its a little above the optimal tuning but since the majority of music doesnt dip that low I was thinking it may be a good idea. Anybody ever tried it?
