hmm, all valid points. is there a thread that has the features of the sub on here? like 9.25 inch 4 layer spider, 3" 8 layer coil..all those kinds of specs. not TS.

OK well I know there is more to the whole story here but just a quick look at the specs and the BL and xmax is higher in the Z v.3 and its cheaper. SO why would I pay more for a Zcon? I want someone to convince me here, I'm not saying the Zcon is a bad woofer, Im just curious..plus being an SSA forum I know the views are going to be a bit skewed. but if someone can come in here and give me some cold hard facts, I can do change

I've run a z v.1 and v.2.....Love my ZCON damn you for making me have to rethink. I mean they were on my list of possible subs. I just settled on the Z v.3 because of the price and I like the larger 9.25" spider and tall surround.

yea Zcons would fit the bill well, I've just never ran their stuff. I've ran the Z v.2's and loved them. I guess I'm scared of change lol.

Thats what I was thinking in my head, I guess I just needed some eyes with an outside point of view to validate it. Hopefully Jacob doesn't sell out of this run on Z v.3's by the time I get to it! lol

..and no I'm not giving it to you. I'm piecing my system together bit by bit. bills take priority but what little left I have goes towards the system which is why its taking a bit to finish (sorry Robin!) and my next purchase is either going to be: option 1) 1 of 2 sundown Z v.3 18's OR option 2) my last XS power D6500 to complete my electrical and getting my Three.2 fiberglassed into my dash (courtesy of Monster Sound In Winter Haven, FL). what say you all? eventually I need both options but for right now I cant decide what I want to purchase first. In total I need still: (2) Sundown Z v.3 18's (1) XS Power D6500 (1) Crescendo BC5500 and a bad *** box (which is already designed by BHE) completed and installed so far: (2)Sundown NeoPro 10's in fiberglassed door panels (2)Soundstream SST-05 tweeters (2)Image dynamics CD1 Pro compression horn (1)Audio Control Three.2 (1)Sundown 100.4 (1)Sundown 125.2 (1)XS power D6500 (1)XS Power D3400 (1)Mechman 270 amp alt. The Big 3

Thank you sir.

ok. well on a side note, heres the setup under the hood. im learning after reading here that I'm supposed to run a ground from the grounding stud on the alt to the batteries ground (disregard the mismatched electrical tape, that is hidden by covers). I was not aware of that and I ran it to the engine block instead. I'm not having any problems so should I just leave it there and add another ground from the alt neg to bat neg?

cccrraapppp..my goal is to stay around 13.5-14 full tilt. I may have to get a third but that's just gonna delay my build by even more months... one more question, what does your car charge at? starting voltage?

ah, damn, that scares me. is that at idle? or while on the gas? because I wont be playing it at idle

haha yea I know the only way to know for sure is to test it but I was checking to see if everyone was like "hell no!" cause then I would have to save up more and get a third. I'm getting everything electrical squared away before I do the install. get it done right the first time with no corners cut. edit: and big three and all wiring is done with Rockford Fosgate OFC 1/0

I have a sundown 100.4 a 125.2 and I'm going to have a crescendo BC5500 as my power source. now, for my batteries I have one d3400 up front and 2 6500's in the rear with a mechman xs270 amp alt w/ adjustable voltage. What do you all think of that? does that sound sufficient?

Sweet, just what I was hoping to hear! These things get down

Hey Jacob, I was wondering how much excursion is safe with these 10's. On some heavier midbass songs they get goin with maybe a half inch of excursion. Theres no hint of distortion o just want to make sure they were designed to handle this.. Thanks

Crap! Sundownonly showed them as outta stock! I knew I should have just emailed you... Any eta on the new ones?

When are the nightshades going to be back in stock? what is holding them up?

Whats going on with this?

bump

Are there any other concerns with running them in that size enclosure? They will run 489 for the 18's correct?

Do you have a thread about the specs of these? How will 2 18's take a 16 cube wall? Will it drop their power handling capabilities? 1500wrms?

Ok fair enough then. I guess ill just have to wait. Thanks

You've been ninja'd by sundownz. Lol and I did the contact us link but nothing. That why I was seeing about a phone.

I ordered two neopro 10's on Friday and was kinda hoping to have them this week, however I've recieved no further correspondance from them since and is like to know an update. Does anyone have a phone number or direct email link?

Yes

Oh ok, I was looking at those tweeters awhile back myself. How would you say they compare or differ from the horns sound wise? Thanks Well the horns really out perform the tweeters in every way as far as frequency range and all around loudness. However, they were designed for different reasons. I feel The tweeters fill in the little extra something in the much higher frequency Range that the horns were lacking. I feel it just gives the finishing touch, to the music, so to speak.
