http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/product-information/zcon.html here you go bud, and you want to follow the advice of optimal

I agree, we need to focus on the objective information here and not have the OP swayed by a wannabe youtuber pushing product. Nick gave straight facts as to why the SSD's are an excellent option, and superior choice.

None of those questions will give you an answer to properly help make your decision. Answers to help were already provided and you chose to argue them with your limited knowledge of the DAD BD series subwoofers just because Twistedchild420 runs them. Which makes no sense like he is the end of all when it comes to car audio. If you like the BDs then keep them, that way you only have to buy 3 more. If not then try an Fi woofer and see for yourself, you won't regret it.

Haha thanks, the skar fan boys don't like honesty.

Even if money is an issue the gcon wins. Bang for the buck one of the best buys in audio rightnow. Use the recommended enclosure with confidence

Yea i haven't made a post in a while. but came across this today. Well let me say this I went to the audio shop to grab a couple ft of 1//0 and they want 5.60$ per foot. I know its cheaper online, but weldingsupply.com has thier black 1/0 on sale for 2.15 or 1.99 if you buy over 50ft. cant beat the price https://weldingsupply.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?Next::1:UNDEF:OR:terms::PA#A2

Just added, great price point! Components starting at $109 Shipped US48!! http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/categories/speakers/crescendo-audio.html

Seems fitting to place this picture in here.

I gather the reason for Sean's support for Don's SDS products is due to Don's superior knowledge in the industry, superior product in addition to Sean's personal experience with different deadening products. Don's material and product costs are higher as he will not settle. SDS is a small operation with a very efficient set up with low overhead (I would know as we are the same and I have been to SDS HQ). The SDS system (not just tiles) are more effective then anything else on the market that I know of, and you use far less tiles due to the superior method and application. It does not serve Don any good to be working price matching deals with lower cost product cutting his already slim margin.

Passive = inline crossover network. Active = processing unit that splits the signals before they get to the amp. IE: any component set uses inline crossover networks between the amp and the speakers to split the signals between tweeter and mid. IE: Active, at the headunit (needs to be an active capable headunit) or external processor splits the signal (can manually adjust crossover points, slopes, etc) from head-unit to amp, and then you run separate channels for each driver. channel 1 left tweet, channel 2 right tweet, channel 3 left mid, channel 4 right mid

Take a step back. Why do you want to use super tweeters? Your goals are "clean and sound good," but generally super tweeters are used for their high output--not frequency response.

Cool story bro, tell us more

Ah, I guess money is the motivation factor. Don's product speaks for itself. He doesn't need to give out deals like other companies so people will use his stuff. As for bad mouthing AT, I think the owner has done enough to ruin his own reputation.

Sound deadener showdown. AT is shit in comparison and throw in the fact that the owner has no idea how to properly deaden a vehicle. It's a no brainer.

What deadening are you using? I really hope to see some detailed pics!

Rear deck does look great! Any more pics pre carpet?

i gotcha rick. turn that red back into black rep

The port area per square foot rule can go fuck itself. Port area is determine by the parameters of the sub, tuning and amount of power. Has nothing to do with the size of the box.

I made that cap, the caps directly from Fi are dry carbon not made by me.

correct... and ALWAYS mention the facebook deal even if you didn't see one... they always have some kind of special going and they honor it when you mention it.... look up their facebook... I don't has it anymore but it's there This stuff as good as the wire from welding supply? Only way to order is to call? I cant see any order forms or anything.

i have seen them take over 5K in burps many times , also in 30 second music runs... electrical is key.. keep the signal clean and you should be fine. of course your body is your greatest tool.... eyes ears and nose.

Gcon all the way brother. I know this guy at my school that has one and it is one damn impressive driver.

Love that cap! It looks great with the Fi logo.

Email your order number to [email protected] If they aren't done yet they can be changed.

Why not get dual 1ohm coils and wire the amp how it should be wired and avoid issues?

Rear Deck looks real good, nice work.

I'm interested to see your deadening plans! (if any) That ride MUST be a rattle factory I think it'd be cool to see this car turned into some kind of goth, are you fiberglassing the interior? not even a single 8"? What about the low bass....there will be a pair of 8s going in this car ... one in each kick pannel in fully ported and tuned (24 to 28 htz depending on test and tune) enclosures. There should be more than enough low end bass, Especially with a Linear Power LP2250 on them ... Have you decided which 8"? Bandpass box??

not even a single 8"? What about the low bass....

This is the direction I want to go with this car ... Eventually !!! But I must take baby steps. I do not have the budget to tear it all apart and build a practically bran new car ... I found these pics using Google ... looking at my car and then looking closely to these pics, you can tell that there is MASSIVE modification work done to the body of these cars !!! Some I plan to do to mine ... Like the frenched in head lights, going with 2 windows on each side instead of 4, body stance ... Many details !!! This weekend we had do most of the body work on my truck and get it ready for paint, so we didn't have time to work on the 49. Once the truck is done with a new paint job, Its open season on the 49 !!!

Yep, dont even have a plan. no designer on here feels confident enough to make me a design. so ill build the biggest enclosure i can and see what fits. The 18s "can" use so much space, that your going to have a hard time making an enclosure too big in that car, just once it's done, try to figure out the volume, then make your port. It surely wont be too big. if i can get 18 cubes ill run 3 18s if not ill have a very efficient wall for 2 18s. ( I bought 3 just incase) Oh man, I bet you wish you could see the look on people's faces when they read that.

That headunit is not capable of active processing. Since you're limited on funds I'd go with a component set upfront, and an amp when you can afford it (think used amp). Only then would I consider replacing any speakers in the back. When you replace the front speakers I'd sound deaden the doors as it'll make a big difference.

Ha ... Nice bro. Just because of you, Don could practically give me a sponsosrship and give me enough deadner to do my car and I would turn him down ... Like you said, products speak for itself and he doesn't need to give out deals and support Car Audio because HE knows what he is doing ... The deadner in my truck is working JUST AS GOOD as the day I installed it ...

where is everyone getting these CF caps? Its on option on the site now?
