Dang, that is one lucky girl !! I wish my pops was a basshead lol that would be Badass.

Checking in... custom Xcon!

Is an Octoport similar to an Aero . Like tuning wise? Nice box by the way!!

Lol I'll take your advice. I guess its time to invest in an OSCOPETime to say fuck no and not buy an o-scope lol don't waste your money on it as it won't do you any good. You need to do your gain setting with you're senses. It's the easiest and best way to do it. You set all your settings where they need to be (also head unit at 3/4 volume) and then turn the gain up slowly while you listen for distress of the sub. It'll start to sound different, in a bad way, once you hit that spot then back off the gains just enough to where you don't hear the stress/distortion.Hey watsup bassink (your name makes more sense to me by the way)!? Do you do that on a test tone??

Dang, do you still have this amp by any chance??

Fuck... I'm confused lol

Forgot to mention it has a double baffle

I think clipping is the answer. I need to do my research and learn how to setup my gains better. I do feel the sub get a really warm at time. I need to take it out and check the tinsel leads. And make s ure its still OK.. also I've noticed my box leaks air around the speaker, might that have something to do with it?Yes, it can have detrimental effects on the sub, the way it performs and the power it can handle. Give us the exact dimensions of the enclosure and the length of the port that's being used and we can verify with better certainty that your enclosure is indeed 1.4cuft and that the port is tuned to 32hz. The XCON's are NOT easy subs to tear up and you're probably trying to get WAY more out of the sub than it can deliver. I have a 10" XCON on an SAZ-1500 and it never gets warm, never smells and should last a very long time. On that Rockford it should last an eternity with only 1kw feeding it so I would imagine it's a combination of things, air leaks, questionable enclosure specifications, and clipping that has lead to the demise of the sub, twice. Depth 14.25 in. height 12.75 in. Width 32.25 in. It has an indentation on a corner to go around the floor of my car, the specs to that is Width 32.25 in Height 3.5 in Depth 7 in 3 inch aero port 11 in. long

That's what I was thinking.. its a bit hard giving dimensions cause the box is not rectangular like normal boxes.

Not lately but I do now what your talking about.

Thanks bro. I think your right on the moneyThen you have been clipping the hell out of it, 1000w will not blow an XconI am still a noob. I wouldn't doubt it..

1000 w on a Xcon ? It's not a lot of power for such a sub.Gain was set to high, maybe. How did you set the gain ? BTW 1.4 ft3 at 32 Hz ? I bet that port is loooong ! Or the tune is way higher. I set it up according to fosgate instructions for the c.l.e.a.n. circuitry. I actually didn't build the box. That's what I was told the airspace and tuning was. It has a 3 inch aeroport

Thanks bro. I think your right on the money

I don't play anything lower than 34 hertz. I don't like the way anything lower sounds on my setup. At the time I smelt my sub burning up I was playing Hideho tuned to 37hzAnd you know this how? If the sub was actually burning, the gain is not set correctly. Was the smell happening when the sub was brand new out of the box? What did the recone company say the cause of failure was? according to decafs titles.. unless they are off by the frequencies they claim

I don't play anything lower than 34 hertz. I don't like the way anything lower sounds on my setup. At the time I smelt my sub burning up I was playing Hideho tuned to 37hzThe first time, the sub just sounded really bad. It would make popping noises on every note. Until one day it just started to smell really bad and stopped playing all together. Today I got that same smell and then after that it just started playing bad it doesn't sound the same now.

Good question.. It wouldnt smell, at least not like it did today It barely happened, haven't had a chance to talk to the dude yet.

It is a Rockford fosgate punch p1000x1bd I have a 230 amp alternator from singer, big 3 upgrade using 0 gauge and an xs power D2400 under the hood.

I have a fosgate amp. It has no subsonic filter .. just an infrasonic filter, if that helps? I have it set to "on"

Since October I have blown 2 subs using the same enclosure and amp. I have the right electrical to back it all up. Originally the sub was a 10 inch xcon which I popped mid November then sent it to SPLaudio for a recone, received it back mid December and now I popped it again. it is in a 1.4 cube box tuned to 32hz. All gains set right and all bass boosters on my stereo are at 0.. any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I've seen hundred of walls but none cleaner than this one!!

Happy New Years to all SSA members and their families. Hopefully 2014 goes good

my fingernails had fallen off completely from some infection I had in 06 and after taking all kinds of medicine nothing made it better until my father in law brought me some from Mexico and they finally got back to normal last year. I'm happy I thought I was going to be like that forever.
