happy birfday

looking good sir!

Don't let what others are doing discourage you from doing what seems to works. I would have to say, 4 15's Icons would do quite nicely, Or since you already have the q, just add three more and boom, /fixed.

oh HELLZ yes, never seen you around before

!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>*note to self*</p> <div>*I'd do left tweeters on ch. 1, left highs on 3 and 5. right tweeter on ch.2, right highs on 2 and 6. So you will keep the sound stereo"</div>

So this was a little different experience for me, haha, opening a product I've never seen opened before. I haven't seen any ZED equipment unpackaged, as far as newer model amps are concerned. Usually, when its time to open a present, you shake the box, listen for noise, look at the physical size of the package and w/e other technique we did as children, to nail it down to a few things of what might be inside. Well, I knew what was inside, I've just never seen one in person, where as christmas presents, we usually see our gifts at w/e store. So instead of ripping up the package, lol, I carefully untaped it There was no pretty pictures on the box, which is fine by me uhhhhhh, and then hold your breath There she is! Like I said, I didn't know what to expect, I actually just let it sit there in the box for a few minutes as I was sort of nervous lol I was really like this, After four weeks, I haz a Zed Leviathan 3 Its rather large, but not so heavy, which is good. maybe less than 10 lbs, I suppose you could put it in the "small thing big package" category:D As you can see from the picture, It has a decent size foot print, but the picture still does no justice. The big circle thing with all the copper coils wrapped around it is like, one big mofo lol. 3" in diameter to be exact. The caps are huge as well. There was quite a big of scracthes on the plexi, which kind of scared me at first, because some of the scratches are pretty deep. But once you remove the laminate cover, its squeeky clean. Ummm, overall, I really love this thing. Not sure when I will be installing it, most likely not for a while. I would like to get those 4 drivers and 4 tweets installed first. But like I said, 10/10 as far as first impression goes

I couldn't hep but chuckle at this as I feel the same with my Icon vs Zcon. But on topic, I would ported, the theory is that ported will offer more output, although thats just on paper, still worth a shot, maybe you could try both, maybe buy 2 sheets of mdf, and see what you think.

98% members here will not stir you wrong sir.

Kind of fix my subwoofer problem(s), I put a new port in, tuned to 37hz now, and I have MUCH better results! Right now I'm back at the output of the icon, so moving forward lol. Once I get back in town, (In toledo, OH), I will disconnect the XEQ to see what results that brings me. For some reason, While in motion, the sub amp quiets down, then once I come to a stop, sub output increases about 20%, lol really weird. Also, the zcon was making a scratching noise at low and really high Frequencies, not sure exactly why, but just playing with the Master volume and sub volume of Xeq seemed to fix the scratching noise at low freq, and on the DVD, I have 3 xover settings for the sub output, 50hz/64hz/80hz, and so, when I put on 50hz, it seemed to solve that issue, I just got to match all the settings. Even though its crossed at 50hz from Dvd, it still plays up to where I believe I have it crossed on amp (80hz). But thats pretty much it, I will update once home again, had a few packages delivered

nice car

I'm home

drunk already? damn

I just think its hilarious how ppl will spend 500 on subs, 200 on box, and so many other bs but won't shed a bill on the right tool for the right job...

Renting sounds like an awesome idea! 5$/day?

I now try to avoid the ladder of upgrading, I would suggest saving money and jump big, that way you can have the sub longer before wanting to upgrade

Agreed

Thanks rick!

Thanks guys! Did a 38 flat at 51hz. I learned a lot again at this event. It seems I'm learning more and more at each event, which is the goal as well. My first run I actually did a 35. I still feel both of these scores are embarressing, as my goal with this subwoofer was between 43-47. But without ANY tweaking of any kind, it is litterally a much different experience. Now that I have been on both sides, it really is a difference maker. I felt going into this event was like, walking in blind compared to spend 5 plus hours of just tweaking prior from the last event. I may invest into a meter here pretty soon, not too sure yet. On my first run, I simply turned up everthing. On my second run, I turned HU volume to max, and 1/4 volume on master and sub volume on XEQ.
