Finally finished up the engine on the mustang. Cleaned and painted the engine bay. New Holley DP'er, air gap manifold, HO water pump, aluminum radiator, and Powermaster 1 wire alternator. Installed new hoses, battery tray, cleaned up the wiring and loom. Now Its time to get the timing curve and Holley dialed in!

I feel like you're an Xcon guy ! The Xcon 15" will be nice on a Sundown amp too. I'm not a Soudqubed fan, but I'm not saying their products are bad. Just a personal taste here Give some meurements to be sure about what you can fit in your cargo area. I think you can find everything in the SSA store : they have reputable brands and products. Take a look at all the SSA subs : there must be one to please you !

Zed and MMATS make a great quality product and build them here in the USA. But what you need to know most internals of an amplifier are globally manufactured. It is very hard to get anything electronic that is completely made in USA. Soundqubed and Sundown along with my own brand Synergy Audio have our amplifiers manufactured in Korea. Why? Because imo Korean built amplifiers offer the best in engineering, manufacturing quality and reliability. I know Synergy Audio selects the components that are of the highest quality and tightest tolerances in their respective price range. Imo customer service is what sets most comparable companies apart. Good luck in your search.

*Can't go wrong. I run a 15" FI btl, which can handle a ton of abuse. That said there are more musical subs out there that can handle a lot of power. As Pusifer stated the SSA Xcon (and other ssa subs) sound great musically and get stupid loud. You might want to check out the SSA EVIL too. I have a 15" SSA Dcon also and it has amazing output on 400 watts. As far as amps go, 2000watts is 2000watts. So get a brand you like/trust and has good CS and you can't go wrong. Any amp over a 1000watts or so will require some electrical upgrades to your ride to preform properly. So take that into consideration. My sub box for the btl is 6.3 cu ft total. The Dcons is only like 3.5 cu ft total. So definetly make sure you are willing to sacrifice your whole cargo area if you are going with a super high powered 15".

I haven't seen this yet so... Is there a budget for this install? I mean, while the xcon and zcon are ABSOLUTLY brutal subs, there are great options for less $. Doesn't sound like space is a major concern. Let's narrow the field a bit.

The Zcon and Xcon are SSA brand subs and are built in the USA. The Zed amps are also built in the USA. You can go wrong with either brand. Hard to find USA built amps without track down some old school goodness.

If it was my money I would get the sundown amp. For a sub I would grab a Xcon or a Zcon.

That is the DCR rating, not the impedance. There is no such thing as "box rise", only an impedance curve as it both rises and falls... You can model or measure to see what load your amp sees. The DCR has little to do with the overall load, the enclosure plays the major role....
