I am instaliing the xcon now, I will have video posted before noon.

I love my xcon, but If I had the spare moeny I would defiantely get one of these for an extra sub :)

I was gonna do a temporary sealed enclosure but some guys talked me out of it, but I have heard they are very accurate sealed, you lose some output/volume, but it sounds very tight. From what I have heard.

I so agree with this, please make awesome colorful xcon backgrounds please.

it won't be in a box until this afternoon, but I will do that, remember its only gonna get 300rms, but we can see how awesome it will be off of only that much.

I can't figure out how to make my speedtest result my signature, I see other people do it and it doesn't work. Every time I try to load it, it says its to big, that it has to be less than 800x1000 pixels or something like that and I know this pic isn't even close being 800x1000, so what am I doing wrong???

ya, I was planning on spending a night on a simple sealed enclosure, but some people on here influenced me otherwise. but according to them this enclosure will take full advantage of the 300 watts rms im going to be giving it. its gonna be in my house until i get my license back in april.

Ya i am kind of a perfectionist in car audio, so if i would have had access to all the proper tools it would probably even be better. it took me 3 and a half days. and the first 2 days was an all-nighter so i spent like 20 hours non-stop at first then slept like 12 hours and then worked on it more. i do wish I had a table saw and something to cut a exact hole for the sub. I cut the subs hole with a jigsaw. and all the edges with a jigsaw. and the first two cuts where with a bent blade. and thanks.

Here is the link to my very first enclosure its on the last couple pages, I didn't wan't to clog up this forum so i'm just posting a link. Enjoy! 15" xcon house build?? - SSA Car Audio Forum - Page 3 Remember this is the first enclosure ive done so its not bad.

Here are the last pics the paint isn't completely dry but good enough for you guys to get the end result. I know it needs about another 2 coats of paint but i'm out of paint, and this is only my temporary/test enclosure for the house for my xcon, until I get my super nice one getting made by audible customs. Enjoy! http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac40/gadgeteer123/100_0105.jpg

The rest of the pics are coming

I know I may seem dumb to some of you guys on here since you guys are pro's and know your stuff. But audio, whether its car audio or house audio or even headphones it not my hobby its my passion, my obsession. I want to learn everything about it, not just the basics, I want to know everything even if its barely necessary. But some of you guys aren't very willing to teach me, I do search Google 90% of the time there have been a couple times I didn't but its usually because I wasn't thinking or the fact I am tired, since I stay up late. But can you guys help me when I need it so I can be as smart as you. please. I'm sorry if this is a problem.

here are the pics these are of a minute before i started painting, and then the last one is my first coat of paint. first coat I will post a couple more pics once the painting is done.

I am putting the pics up they will be up in ten minutes, I only have the first coat of paint on but you will get the idea.

i re-read what u typed, so it should be good then. 2 inches is plenty. since the hole is like 1 inch.

huh, i wasn't talking about port clearance, the pole vent/ voicecoil vent is 2 inches away from the side of the port tube?? thats what i was worried about, the back of the subwoofer is facing the side of my pvc pipe port and it is only 2 inches away from the pipe.

will it be fine with only 2 inches? it is a round pvc port.

Well thank you now I just gotta wait forever to get a sundown. i'm broke until mid-summer to fall

oh so the 2 inches of clearance isn't enough , its already built. and they are 4" ports.

i have a 15" xcon and there is gonna be pvc pipe ports behind the magnet how much clearance does there have to be for proper airflow, it is only getting 300rms in this enclosure.

Ya I always wondered how sundown compared to hifonics?? I am on my second hifonics amp, I like them but I have heard much otherwise, and now that I have a quality subwoofer aka ssa xcon I was curious to exactly how much better sundown is compared to hifonics? Not as in watts output but in the actual sound quality itself.

Sorry for the wait it should be done b around 10pm central time tonight. gotta let stuff dry

I wish I had a table saw, my edge cuts weren't perfectly straight so I had to compensate with wood filler on the ousides and lots of latex caulk on the inside.

Thanks, this is my first box that I have ever built so i'd say its not bad for my first try.

Here are the pics so far
