This isn't really a "how to" considering I didn't take a lot of pictures, and I don't really know what I'm doing, but people can learn from my mistakes and what I've learned in the last year. First mess up, didn't use any mold release between the tape and laying down the mat. Usually people use wax or some spray, even spam? I don't know, but I f#cked that part up. Trimmed the panels down. Used non-hardening clay to angle the baffles. Since I'm using small baffles with relatively light drivers, and low depth, the clay held the shape well for aiming, and everything. If your using larger drivers then clay may not suffice. I propose a toast: to 2-part expanding foam. I sorta forgot about the endothermic reaction during the expanding foam's curing, it got hot enough that it started melting the clay. Luckily the curing process was extremely fast, and didn't actually allow the baffles to be moved in any way. catalyst ratios on notecard, wax paper for laying down mat, and applying resin first. I'm using 3/4 oz chopped mat in multiple layers, and general purpose polyester based resin. On one of the kicks, I laid down one single piece of mat (already wet'd out), but it didn't want to contour around the bottom edges. So once it cured I had to cut the bottom edging all the way around, and do strips for the seam. On the second kick, I used pieces, and since the 3/4 oz mat is so thin, it was easy to maintain a smooth surface, even with adding more and more layers on. Tomorrow is sanding, one coat of resin+cab-o-sil, and sanding. I have to wait a few days for primer and paint to show up. In the mean time I'll mount the kicks, and make sure everything works as planned.

Not to butt in here, but we do not claim that the ZCON is an SQ sub. In fact, we have said the opposite of that. The ZCON was designed with brutal output in mind, while sounding good. Just wanted to clear that up. Thanks.

Adrian strikes again

Install it and see where you are at. That is the best advice that I can give you.

Don't waste any money on CCA.

yeah iv Looked through all the subs that were in the 400-600rms range and iv just always had a thing for FI. So i decided the FI x12 was gunna be the sub i bought. just wish it didnt take so damn long to make... It is a custom driver. So instead of buying something off the shelf at a store, someone is custom building a subwoofer in Las Vegas for you. I know it's hard to wait, but be patient.

I just want to see what the absolute loudest my stuff can get. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm only asking if people on here think it's possible. From what I'm getting, my current set up won't hit 150s, but a new enclosure an reinforcements and I take it it's possible. Maybe 150 is too much, but all great adventures start with one goal.

How are they not? Splain that to me....HOMES! lol
