Thought I’d share a few pics of the DCON’s I was originally running. The original subs we used in the Traverse after I got the rest of the system installed. They were originally ran on a Zapco Z-1KD but after a fateful incident with an open sunroof during a rain storm it had to be replaced. I had an Arc Audio XDi 2000 sitting in the closet and the only amp I had that remotely fit in the amp rack. The DCON’s were dual 4 ohm and wired to 1 ohm on the Zapco for a very reasonable 1,000 watts to the pair of 400wrms rated subs. I wasn’t too terribly keen on running them on the Arc 2k at that ohm load at first but since one was making a noise fresh out of the box I figured screw it and with one recone in hand and the knowledge of the fact I could order another if needed I threw caution to the wind and decided to see just how much abuse they could possibly take. So after that background story I present to you the first few pics of the results of that abuse. The coils are still in great looking shape. Which is mind blowing considering the power we didn’t hesitate to throw at them. At 2.5 times the rated power I expected to see them at least slightly darkened or something. The sealed enclosure seams failed worse on one side than the other so I included pics of the surround. The one that didn’t unload as severely has a very small area with the stretched to near breaking point you see in the pic. However the one that’s pictured has the damage all the way around and in a small area actually tore all the way through. I’m pretty sure that damage wouldn’t be present if the enclosure hadn’t have failed. I couldn’t find any damage at all to the spiders on either sub. I’ll add more pics to this when I go to recone them with the spiders, coils and all super exposed.

Got a ton done today, everything is in and playing, i'll post some photos, then grab a few video's of it later on today. A huge thanks to Drew @bassahaulic Productions for the enclosure design on a moments notice also!

Got the alt to fit perfect but couldnt figure out the wiring . . Going to have to call ohio gen tomorrow and see what wires are on this plug

Excellent, i'm sure you'll love them. I just got mine going last night, and they sound amazing!

Pretty much the same.

Nice post.

They are Impressive to say the least.... I'll have more input on them after break in

I believe the answer is yes. I had a Bluetooth module that connected to a 3.5mm to RCA cable. I used the C701 for volume.

Haven't had the chance to hook them up, but the manual says volume can not be controlled once hooked to a HU, so assume it has volume control otherwise.

Added a programmer while I had everything apart, along with the cat back and cold air kit, this trucks performance is wayyyyyy better. All back together and playing. Now on to the fun stuff. Enclosure time!!

Aaron, I just overcooked my processor. Tell me if you notice a bump in the boinc numbers please. I got a lot more than I expected on my first try.

The evil sub is a bargain to start with. At these black Friday prices they are a steal!

Double boxed to help ensure the little monsters arrive safe and sound.

Going to use the amps crossovers, and see how that sounds, add a processor if needed later down the road.

Amp rack is going in to house the SSA goodness. Oh yah, and a Flowmaster cat back left Amp had to be mounted higher as there is a seat bracket right there. It's very tight back there. We used the factory Amp bracket to mount to.
