Temporary Production Shutdown
as stated at the beginning of the thread I am not physically capable of continuing at the moment so unfortunately you will have to go else where I'm going to have limited internat access for a while so I'm not gonna be around but my wife Denise will be filling in for any product orders ( SSA woofers ex...) she will be checking my PM's and e mails when I am un able to do so so you can still contact me thru e mail....it might just take longer than normal for a response but it will be answered will send you an e mail as well

Temporary Production Shutdown
unfortunately I have a kidney issue that requiers some time for treatment and recovery so I am forced to temporarily shut down production..... I will be completing the door skins for the Dakota and the Xcon Enclosure for Mark as my health allows but there will be no new orders taken till at least fall ..the other two builds in line will be refunded SSA products as well as Diamond Audio , Cerwin Vega , Tsunami , Exile and Zenesis are still available to Canadian customers

Tuning box below manufacture's Fs
one of the main mistakes I see when people use enclosure software is a mistake with the metric/imperial conversion but there are a few subs I have come across that model like $hit on the graph regardless....not all the free on line software will give the same results either (reason why I avoid free on line programs like herpies)...a small number of them are close but close isn't good enough IMO to many get to technical when discussing this topic to the point that it becomes a useless thread that noobies can not understand I will never tune any lower than 3hz below the manufacturers speced FS.....under high abuse situations tuning lower will result in a short woofer life by over exerting the woofers mechanical limits ..if you want to tune really low choose a woofer with a low FS and it's all good

Looking for a new HU, CDA-9887 vs 880prs?
For the great majority of users of an in car setup the D/A difference will be non-existent. The real question is will you benefit from independent L/R eq? Your mounting locations will help determine the answer to that question. it all depends on the quality of the components and power.... with a decent setup the sound difference is noticable on the first note as far as the L/R eq........it's more of a pain in the arse than anything to most users

( free enclosure ) 10" Dual Chamber Flared Port
this one was shooting forward in a trunk car with the seats folded down so I only had a chunk of carpet covering the front it's still in perfect shape..never contaminated by the elements so it's carpet-able ...the SSA 10" subs do not fit in the mounting holes....the JBL's are slightly smaller in diameter

not hitting the lows quit like I want
I would loose my interest in car audio completely if my SSF was stuck 3hz below my tuning frequency...LOL to the origional poster...sounds like the enclosure is at fault or the subs just have not had a chance to loosen up I have installed Dcons and they get right down and dirty with the low stuff

( free enclosure ) 10" Dual Chamber Flared Port
just a warning to those US people....shipping to the USA is costly...... it would be easily up towards the $200 range
-
( free enclosure ) 10" Dual Chamber Flared Port
this enclosure was built back in 2003 for a pair of JBL W10gti subs and hit a solid 145db in a 4 door sedan...... 1.6cf3 per side (minus sub displacement) tuned at 33hz this thing has been collecting dust for a few years and I'll give it away to anyone who can pick it up or pay shipping (personally I would rather have it picked up) but I will ship it

Looking for a new HU, CDA-9887 vs 880prs?

WHO WOULD WIN? SSA XCON 18" VS FI BTL 18" VS digital designs D
another VS thread.......... I would take the Xcon for SQ but I think I would probably throw the Orion HCCA in the pile also... what a rediculous sub.....I was burping a single 12" with XXX 6500 last comp season...we got a solid 147db on the dash doors sealed in a chevy Xcab and I could NOT blow that sub even with my Crown Agti amp reliable...reconable with an allen key (if you blow one you'v really screwed up) and it sounded not to bad either

Xcon VS. DC LVL 4XL
personally I would go with a 12" in that trunk......you still need room for the woofer and enclosure to unloadproerly
-
Fi BL Vs. SSA XCON Vs. Fi Q Vs. AA Havoc
I completely agree but I would still avoid the BL like herpies.....LOL
-
Fi BL Vs. SSA XCON Vs. Fi Q Vs. AA Havoc
I have played with ALOT of woofers over the years....the Xcons hands down is my #1 choice smooth , flat and accurate with a HARD hit all around and I would avoid the BL like herpies...they are one of the peakiest sounding subs I have ever heard they are loud and will hit a small range of notes hard but not musical at all

15" T2 common chamber wedge/Flare
- Waiting list and email.
the bassbox e mail goes thru the Telus server and may be blocking you by the spam filter try contacting me direct at [email protected]- XCON Tucson Arizona Tour @ Southwest Audio Fest May 2010
Tuned @ 29hz that box is very impressive. When the first bass line came in when I heard it last weekend, I felt like someone stuck there hands in my ears and were pulling them open haha. are your new boxes going to be tuned at 29hz as well? 32hz. but will hurt even worse with twice the power Trevor, if you're reading this, hurry up! hehe LOL...... I think you'll be just a tad higher on the mic with the new box.....- ICON Prototype 12" Temp build
- 15" T2 common chamber wedge/Flare
LOL...... I always write something stupid on the panels to line them up after the holes are cut he really wanted a pair of 15" jammed in there with a flare......not much baffle "all port and sub " - Waiting list and email.
