Picked up a little something today. Haven't hooked them up yet but for $5 a piece they will at least make good decorations if they don't work.

I've heard his truck when he had all his woofers going last season. Was pretty intense, wish I could have sat in it though.

There has to be some more blazer builds out there. I'm looking for inspiration

Need a Zcon background!!!!!

Bump

Did you have 1 18? lol and do you have any designs or anything I could look at? What was the best sub/port orientation? Yeah I ran a RE SX 18 for a little bit. It was in a 5.5cu.ft. box tuned to 32. The 2 15s were older Memphis subs, well there were new back then. They were the SHPs if I remember correctly(this was back in 02-03ish). I wish I had thought to take pictures back then. I never even thought that I may want to look back at these setups one day. Oh to be young and stupid again. Did you ever meter them? and could you do a hairtrick? lol Na never did, there were not very many opprotunities(shows and stuff) at that time in the sticks of south MS. haha alright. So, why do you guys say 2 15's would be louder than the 6 12's just out of curiosity

Hmm alright. I don't switch unless my vehicle completely craps out lol if I can fix it I do. But another thing is I was thinking I could run 1 18 for awhile then when I get the balls to wall it I can add another 18 and won't have to buy at least a new sub.

So, 2 SA-15's or 1 Zcon 18?

So is everyone saying 2 15's lol and 3k on 1 z18?

Hmmmmmmm I'm really thinking bout it! I'll do some more research on them after work

Don't choose a sub by its rms rating for starters. All the subs mentioned will be fine on your amplifier if you are smart about it. A single 18 is more in line with your budget. If you decided to go with a single 18 I would suggest the ZCON or BTL for what you've described. Not all SSA products are SQ based. The ZCON is geared towards SPL, but SSA will not make a product that doesn't sound good. Well for single 18 I was thinking either a Zcon or a Sundown Z 18 2 15's I was thinking SA-15's or Icon 15's

Dang, it won't let me edit the poll

What would you guys suggest for SSA Subs? I don't know much about them except they are more sq based and have nice lows lol what would handle the power? For 2 15's

I'm kinda thinking 2 Sundown SA-15's now lol But they are Infinity Reference previously run by Irpirate with 16 12's in a 4th order wall I'm gonna sleep so i'll check this in the morning before work Goodnight all

Wow! I forgot all about 15's lol What 15's would you suggest?

Do you know if you can fit the box required for either of those options in the ranger? I think it is easier to go with the single ZCON if your experience is minimal. If 500 is your total budget you wont be able to afford a zcon and amp and the electrical you will likely need to back it up. The ZCON 18 is 480 plus shipping if I'm remembering correctly. I don't know if you've considered the cost of wiring and wood etc as well. I wouldn't say my experience is minimal and I know where to go if I have any questions. I have $500 for just the sub. Already have an amp in the works if I can talk the guy down a little more on the price lol I have the 1/0 already and 8 gauge speaker wire. I have 8.24 cubic feet (before displacement) in my truck. I just measured today.

Goal-Loud daily Budget-Cheap lol $500 Vehicle-2000 Ford Ranger Extended cab no wall! Experience-Not a crazy amount but I know a little more than the basics I guess lol I know how to set my gains if thats what your wondering Electrical as of right now is just big 3 plan on adding a nice battery up front and going from there

What would you rather do? 6 cheapish 12's in a sealed box or 1 awesome 18 in a decently big ported box? Both would be on the same power (2500 rms) But 6 12's has alot more cone area but a sealed box. 18 has less cone area but a ported box 18 would be a bit cheaper and better quality. But 6 12's have more cone area lol. So what do you guys think? If you have any other suggestions, I have up to 8 cubic feet before displacements. Have 2500 rms. Thinking bout running the Zcon or something similar for the 18. The 12's would be infinitys

Ohh, I was just using Torres's calculator lol

Well i have 4 cubic feet before port displacement 2 4"s would only have 6.34" per cube

I can go 15 deep but then I would be sitting like straight up and pretty close to the steering wheel. So I may just mess with ported boxes. Thanks for saying that though. Oh and I have heard that ports firing to the side is best so i may build something like that. I'll probably just drop the tuning on the box I have now though. Any ideas on the amount of port area? I'm gonna be using aero ports Thanks for your help guys

So 4th order wouldn't be good? I have a couple people that can help me design it and i've been reading up on it quite a bit. But tuning lower was my original plan lol just wondered if I could get louder with a different box

What box type would you guys reccomend for 2 SA-12's on a Saz-2500D? I have a normal ported box around 3.5 cubes tuned to 35 hz that i'm gonna put them in when I get them but would like to start designing a new box so I can get it designed and built as soon as possible. Not looking for numbers just a loud and low daily driver. I know 4th orders are really efficient if designed right. But what about 6th orders and I don't know much about horns but would love to learn. I have up to 6 cubic feet to play with, Extended cab Ford Ranger no wall so its a wide and tall box not very deep Short version 4th Order Bandpass 6th Order bandpass T-line Horn Which is best for a loud daily driver?
