nahhh she doesn't care, but i often get the " You don't even need all of that" and I go "You don't need that 700$ purse you hardly carry shit in"

Appears UPS didn't treat the Xcon's too well.. few of them are like this

........

My gf cares and flips out and says the exact same thing! haha

It allows more current to flow and makes the amp less efficient. That's exactly the difference. More current and less efficient means that you're drawing proportionally more current from the vehicle electrical system compared to the power output. It also means that the amp is flowing more current at lower efficiency meaning that it is generating significantly more heat that it must get rid of to keep from failing. Considering the usually only marginal gain, running a lower than normal impedance isn't worth it daily.

Lmao that's how me and my wife are. LMFAO, that had me rolling ohhh, so true, so true. Its funny, if you ever tell like,"normal" ppl, how much we spend on CA, their mouth drops. 400 for this, 550 for that, 2000 on this, etc etc etc lol

Mark was very helpful with me throughout the whole process. Any question I had was answered, and I got my money's worth for sure.

I don't think that I have ever waited more than 48 hours for a response, and I can get annoying with the amount of emails that I send. You are right about the wait, it is definitely worth it.

ya have to drive it into the lane this is gonna be a fun toy!

That made no sense. Anything hand built is made up of little parts being put together. Yeah those little parts may be individually bulilt/milled before being added to other parts to make a final product but It is not like Xcons differ from one another (like Fi subs or something). As long as they are the same size, subs from companies like Ascendant and SSA are ALL the same. I am also positive Bentley vehicles are not "just slapped together." Each sub is very different in its own build spec. The only thing in common with the sub brands you mentioned is the build house.

There is no relation between enclosure volume and port area. None at all. Hey, just a suggestion, clean up your grammar if you want to be taken seriously...

oh hell no lol. we aint married or nothing so it really aint non of her concern but like for instance, when i got these w7s (for less than $300 i will say) she flipped out and was going on about me saving for a house... i was like, im 19 and live at home. saving for a house hasnt even crossed my mind haha.

YUP i sure do!

You are doing very nice work with this car! Good job man!

I just finished up with my install: 2) 12" D2 GCONS in a DC-Creations Sealed Enclosure, all installed in a 2012 Volkswagen GLI running from the factory fender audio system to a LC2i LOC and Kicker ZX1000.1 Amp w/ KnuKonceptz Kolossus Flex 0 ga kit. GCONS: Visually: I placed my order and received the speakers about 25-30 days later, just like the guys @ SSA said. Between the heavy foam surround, to the huge magnet, to the frame, they look SICK. Looks wise, I can't complain, the build quality seems to be great; real heavy duty shit here. When I bought my kicker amp from the car audio shop around the block, the guy I dealt with asked what I was running for subs. So I showed him... His eyes light up and he says, "SSA... never heard.. WOW! Those look SERIOUS!" DC Creations: Build Quality: I ordered a stage-one sealed enclosure with the flush mounting option, built to the max dimensions of my vehicle. The enclosure is around 1.3 - 1.35 ft^3 per speaker. Received it in the expected time-frame with no issues. Build quality is awesome and I really liked the way the guys at DC wired up the box for me; 2 runs of heavy gauge wiring shrink tubed right to the terminals. It was basically plug and play. The enclosure was built like a brick shit house compared to one my old prefabbed enclosures. No comparison there. Fitment: The GCONS slipped right into the flush mount face, wired right up, VERY EASY. It was perfect in all aspects. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Performance: Overall the installation went well; getting all the LC2i and ZX1000.1 adjustments were a pain but I finally have then fine-tuned and I couldn't be happier. This was my first sealed enclosure so I really wasn't expecting much in the area of loudness (compared to my Kicker L7s in a ported enclosure), especially running off the factory head-unit. Honestly - I'm impressed in all aspects of their performance (Enclosure and Subs). They get low, they get high, they're punchy and most importantly, they're really clean and tight; I don't understand why it took me this long to go sealed. Loudness - Unless you're competing, I can't see ever needing any more SPL than this. My car has a sunglass compartment that pops down from the headliner. When I turn up the volume - it flies open and my sunglasses fall on the floor... Every time.... Its really impressive. The rear-view mirror doesn't move around in circles like I've seen in some SPL videos but it shakes a LOT -the same goes for my side-view mirrors. A friend of mine runs a pair of 12" Alpine Type-Rs @ 600-700W each in a sealed enclosure; All I'll say is this - every time I see him now, he asks me to trade. The Type-Rs get pretty damn hot, pretty damn quickly. I'm not sure that I'd feel comfortable running them hard for any longer than 15-20 minutes at a clip. Last night I took a 2-3 hour road-trip running my GCONS pretty damn hard (safely of course). I felt the cones out of curiosity - BARELY WARM after 3 hours in a SEALED BOX @ 550-600W Each. Overall: Although they were only around 200 bucks each, I'm not sure that I'd call the GCON a budget subwoofer. The only thing budget is the price. I can only imagine how loud these would be in a ported enclosure from DC-Creations. 2 THUMBS UP AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Will try to get some GoPro videos up this weekend.
