Yeah we clamped around 3k each at 1 ohm.. haven't tried strapping them at .5. WIsh I could go down to .5 each though.

Quality over quantity!

I think even the AQ750 would work very well for you since you're not planning on adding a second sub in the future. Anything with a decently respectable name will do for the job though. I really like the idea of those Boston amps as well, I've always liked them.

Fill.. Wait... Sand.. @.@

Bc most every sound board is designed to have speakers located on axis and manufactures know this. So most manufacturers will spend a lot of time making sure a soeaker has great on axis response sometime sacrificing off axis responce. Because if it dont sound good in the sound room more than likely you wont buy it. In a vehicle the sound can be completely different.

Here you go guys let me know what you think! What is Google Sketchup? Sketchup is a free 3d modeling program that is made by Google. It is used around the world for its ease of use and accurate function. Where do I get it? Right here: http://sketchup.google.com/download/ Download the basic version. What is the advantage? You can basically "build" your box before you make a single cut! Get an idea what it will look like, even lay out all the boards to make sure you get the most use out of a sheet! How do I use it? Watch my video below! If there is any additional information or questions please let me know!

Woot! Two 15" Icons on their way up to Canada! Time to get loud fairly soon.

This is a good buddies build. I got him hooked up with Mark to order 2 zcon 18s and 2 crescendo 5500s. Mark came through very fast on delivery. This blazer already had a 6th order for 2 IA dp21s. Doing decent numbers. But when we put the zcons in holy shit! We played with the back ported section and bumped up the volume a bit changing the ratio. In testing before the last show we managed a 159.5 and at the show after demos and playing around he was able to put up a 158.7 official score. I don't have a lot of the build pics since it had the 6th when I met him. Here's a few from the show.

What are you powering with the BC2000, if you already have some 3500's ? Nice pics !

So the heatsinks are on the bottom? Heat rises...

Mind you I posted this topic before I got to look at it at all. He told me afterwords it wasn't just cutting in and out it cut out all together, one of the wires connecting to the sub came out. Easy fix

i thought by "modified" that something was done internally to the amps but nice looking install there man

I have no reason to want it, but who doesn't want an extra turbo! My lawnmower would be wicked fast.

i took another SHORT demo vid. today and when i went to post it up on here, i realized i have to thread for all my demp vids so here it is.

sweeeet, looks good, very nice score, those look like the crazy screws i use. cant wait to see this beast for my self.

Being in tx we always strive for something better..... The 6th order is becoming a 4th order with 4 zcon 18s. Same power for now. Subs facing down so we can see those sexy asses. I'll have more pics of the rebuild as it progresses. Expect to see 160+

What VC config do you have ? It's important to know what kind of amp you need. 500-750 w willbe enough as stated. You don't need over 1000 w at all for a Gcon. Get an amp at the ssa store if you can ! Support THE forum !

Skar 800.1 http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/skar-audio-sk-800-1d-mono-block-800w-amplifier.html Stetsom Venom 1000.1 http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/stetsom-venom-1000-1-mono-block-1210w-amplifier.html

This might be a good option.

These have a hole in the side and a set screw to hold the wire in place. As for the amp... Since I'm strapping the amps in pairs I will lose one set of outputs on the amps. Here is the solution. He's making them to accept 6g. These are just his stock photos. Mine are paid for but not built yet.

I'll sell you my aq1200 for 200$ plus shipping.

Use your ears. Btw, matching is absolutely of NO benefit.

That's power wire Looking good.

Alright kids...... Got current! My new wire and terminal lugs for my speaker wire showed up today. 6g solid copper next to some knukonceptz 8g cca Overkill? Eh maybe. But my speaker wires (all 16 runs) are 8 feet long and when you have battled the gremblins I have with this electrical. I'm not fucking around this time.

And you need to get a build log going.

Honestly, if you are just wanting it to "work" then I would just use the free design. If that does not meet your requirements then have a designer work out a design for your exact needs.

It's peanut butter jelly time! Say what!

Waiting to see how you build the port. I hope you not tuning that high.

Responses that come from M5 and Impious are exactly why I (and many others) joined this forum. I don't want people who own the brand to tell me to buy it because they like it. If I wanted that I'd read and trust product reviews from Sonic Electronix and Crutchfield.

Marketing material isn't something I'd ever base ANY decision off of.

so i picked up a new toy the other night

Interesting how you read only what you want to. My first reply: If you are referring to the utter shit comment later, well yes that needed to be said. Not only for the OP but others searching and finding the thread. There is so much misinformation on the web and other forums in particular that people get biased views of how things are. If all they read is "oh, that isn't so good for you try this" it doesn't talk those searching out of things. A forum is NOT only for the people posting, but to collect information that others may find by searching. When you short change that side of things the forum degrades into a shit hole. We are trying like hell to avoid following every other car audio forum in going down that path. I've spent TONS of time helping those who have thought it was a good idea to pair a couple high efficiency drivers together to fix the crap response they get out of their front stage. It's always instigated by someone searching somewhere else and getting excited about something, but at the same time being misled by the curse of all forums. The curse of "what I have is best" and "my shit sounds great although I've never compared it to anything". Car audio forums are despicable in this regard and that shit doesn't fly here. I never once said the driver was bad, but surely knocked the normal implementation. The key is in the system and failing to see that is a failure. Of course, if you thought my comments were harsh before you probably think these are even harsher if you fit into the category of those that preach the solution that they have and aren't open minded enough to really search out a good solution. And of course, I know the OP rather well. I've seen well over a 1000 of his posts. Not sure you can say the same.

2-way front stage, which would be a 3-way system (2-way front stage + subwoofer) is what M5 was referring to. While there isn't a definitive guide to the absolute "right" way to do things, there are some basic tenants to acoustics that it's generally a good idea to follow. A bullet tweeter in a 2-way front stage is just a bad idea all the way around for several different reasons. Real midbass from a high efficiency 6.5" midrange isn't going to happen. If your goal is to simply create a system that makes sound, regardless of resulting performance, then by all means purchase whatever you want, install it how ever you want, tune it how ever you want and enjoy the abomination that results. However, he didn't come on here asking for something that simply makes sound without regard to performance. He specifically asked for something that would result in reasonable sound quality. And while his goal was extremely vague, the equipment he was inquiring about was undoubtedly not something anyone with basic understanding of acoustics would recommend for creating a front stage of reasonable sound quality. IMO suggesting he ignore sound advise (no pun intended) simply because it's "his money and his system" when he came here specifically seeking advise on his choice before spending the money is rather asinine and counter-productive. He obviously is at minimum the least bit interested in the "science of it all" because he came here specifically to ask the question before purchasing the equipment. Just because you didn't like the answers he was given doesn't make the advise bad. There are plenty of options that would result in much better performance for his vaguely goals than what he had selected. Hell we didn't even get into the science of why....simply advised him that it wasn't a wise decision for his loosely stated goals, which is exactly what he asked.

nothing wrong wt a lil brand loyalty. Exactly, difference between us and most, is we do not have nut huggers, we have return customers.

nothing wrong wt a lil brand loyalty.

Yea i was leaning toward the zcon because ive purchased ssa before.

Make it sound better. I will be using cresendo tweeters with cresendo crossovers If you are talking about the PWX-6 and the bullet tweeter then no, that is a terrible setup. Though for having 1700 posts your ability to make a meaningful thread is rather abysmal. "Make it sound better" isn't a satisfactory response to my question of goals if you are truly looking for assistance.
