I listen to rap and hip hop.

Don't need to tune that low. 1. With big ports they play low as is. 2. TB's resonance is around 42Hz. So tuning low is like pissing in the wind. What would be good tuning then?

Ok so I'm thinking 7 to 8 cubes wit 18inches per cube with 32 Hz tuning?

Wouldnt the zcon have more output than the xcon?

Well I think Im goin to go with a Zcon 18 for my trailblazer. I have enough room for the 18 but what would be best for the box size and tuning. I know 6 to 8 cubes is optimal with 31-37hz tuning but what have you done or do you think is the best? Also how should I have the sub and port face? I'm pretty sure sub up port back. For amp and electrical, I have a crescendo BC2k and a deka 9a31 in the back. I'm not going for numbers, just straight daily. I listen to mostly rap and that's what I want it to sound best with. My max dimensions are 46w x 32.5d x 20h. thanks in advanced and if you need anymore info please ask.

Ohh no that wasn't ridiculous at all, I think you just sold me on the zcon! Haha

I'm thinking about the zcon 18 then. What do they stack up against, output wise?

For now just adding a subwoofer. Later down the toad I probably will add more power and electrical.

My goal is to have a louder setup with a better low end. I have a 15" hdc3 and its jus not hitting the lows like I want and is not as loud. I have the big 3 done in 0ga and a deka 9a31 in the back. For a budget, are you asking for the sub? Maybe around 650.

That's kind of what I thought. Sooo maybe 1 18 is what I should go with then? How about an 18" Zcon? I've been drooling over those haha I have a Crescendo Bc2k so that should pretty much match up perfect!

I have a 2003 trailblazer lt, not ext, and I was thinking about runnning 2 18 xcons. Not a lot of people are running 18s in trailblazers because of the limited room in there. Crazycricket12 on smd forum gave me dimensions of his box. It's 21h x 45w x 30d. He's using the torres box calculator. The box has a square port in the middle of the box facing back hatch. The dimensions for the port is 10h x 10w x 12L. It says port area is 100 ft2 with tuning at 32.75hz. The total net volume only excluding bracing is 12.41ft3. Would this work??
