HDC's sound like poo. They will crack your skull in the 40-50 Hz range though, as that is what they are designed to do, not sound good though. XCON's however will rape your ears below 40 Hz. which woofer you get depends on what you want it to do, there is no woofer that can do it all.

I have to wait to get my ports in the mail from Dylan, then finish the front and top 3 baffle's.

Words cannot describe how heavy this box will be. I will upload build pics in a few when i'm finished. BangingGMC & Big Will are coming over tonight to help me finish it, and lift it lol.

I just received my order from SSA today!!! I got two sets of Bravox CS60K comps (from the group buy) AND a DCON 12D4 which I ordered. Next month or as soon(if) as SSA does a group buy for ZED I will be ordering my ZED Leviathan to run all the speakers. This system is going to ROCK! OH wait ... did I mention the sub box being built to SSA OPTIMAL PORTED specs by Argent Audio? Yeah buddy ... that is currently being built. THANKS SSA!!!

I had my 15's in 3cf sealed each and they will POUND! Edit to add I am not piling on as the OP said he does not have the space, just adding that to the topic in case someone wanted to try them in an optimum sealed box.

I'd get an XCON.

If you're diabetic you need to search a diabetic forum and work with your doctor. 90% of what might apply to someone else will not apply to you. A huge huge huge part of gaining lots of muscle and size is working the bodies natural insulin, and GH levels. Also managing cortisol plays a roll. For you these natural flows are disturbed by either insulin resistance or the fact you don't produce enough. You NEED to work with a doctor and pretty much only a doctor. In certain instances with working out and even eating just protein an creatine you might have some spikes or drops in insulin to dangerous levels. Creatine can change how ATP and other sugar levels work in your body. If the doc says it's ok, go for it, but make sure they know. Lots of suplements out there for body building that are legal now only affect one thing and that's nutrient shuttling. AKA helping the good stuff get into the muscles better/faster. Almost all of those will change your insulin/sugar levels, or increase your sensitivity.. You don't want to be in a situation where you might be taking a suplement that will make you hyper sensitive to the insulin that you might need to save you. While I may be sounding all doom and gloom and it may be over the top to you no one here can have any reasonable clue about your body chemistry. We would all rather you be healthy. No one here can give you any nutrition help unless they have an MD after their name, especially when it comes to how your chemistry might be right after a work out. As for some real advice stop using a scale to measure weight gain. Just stop. It's not going to help you at your weight. Similar to a fat guy like me weight fluctuations will be exagerated by too many factors. I can change 15 pounds in a day, I'm sure you can change the same percentage that I can in the same amount of time. It doesn't help to know if you are gaining. Get a myo-tape and measure yourself at the same time once a day or once a week. always measure not flexed at the same spot of the muscles you want to watch. This is the one and only way to track real world gains especially when you have a medical condition. Personally I would say just look in the mirror for you. However if you want hard numbers use size/measurments not weight as it's much more constant and will be more truthful with progress.

Also, I found a decent page with various exercises. Exercise & Muscle Directory

"Some of you know that I have been testing and writing about products like these for more than four years. Here’s what I’ve learned in a nutshell: To control panel resonance you should use the best vibration damper you can find and only treat the 25% at the center of the panel. You won’t have to worry about asphalt melting or falling off and you won’t get black goo from cheap butyl compounds on your living room carpet. You will spend less, the project will be easier and the results will be better." - SDS
