Wow you guys are awesome! Fast reply Really appreciate it. I just ordered the GCON 15 2ohm Going to build a 3ft^3 sealed enclosure and face it forward with the seat folded down. If it's not loud enough (I'm sure it will be) I can always build a larger ported box later. Again, thank you. Going to buy some MDF and get started on the box. Actually, one question about that. It's better to run the wire through a tiny tiny, sealed hole, rather than try to build in a connector? Running a single wire from the amp to the sub is better, no?

I know I am asking a lot of questions, but if I can get answers then I will buy one of your GCON 15s. Need all answers please, from 1 person or multiple. Can just say 1) yes 2) no... etc. I have read (on these forums and others) that the enclosure is EVERYTHING, so that is the majority of the questions. 1) I am looking to buy a good SQ 15" sub at a decent price. Heard about the GCON 15". Am I correct, that this is a good SQ sub? 2) I want a sealed enclosure for better SQ and space saving. Does the GCON 15" sound good in a sealed enclosure? 3) Enclosure size. What is the optimal ft^3 size for this sub in a sealed enclosure? (internal volume- I will add 1.5" to length, width, height to account for 3/4" MDF thickness.) 4) Does the enclosure size answer from previous question account for .18ft^3 that the sub occupies? Or should I add another .18ft^3 to account for that? 5) What are the best proportions, SQ-wise? Meaning, should the box be a "cube" with equal length, width and height (18"x18"x18")? Or is there a ratio, like the length should be double the width, etc (24"x12"x18")? 6) Wiring question. I have a Kole Audio HK1440-2 HK amp. The specs are: Bridged RMS Power (Watts x Channels)720 x 1 RMS Power at 4 ohms (Watts x Channels)300 x 2 RMS Power at 2 ohms (Watts x Channels)360 x 2 Not sure why the Ohms aren't listed for bridged mode, but I THINK the bridged 720watt mode is @ 2 ohms? (because 2 chan mode is 360 @ 2 ohm) If I wired the amp like this (on a 2 ohm GCON 15): ...the impedence would be 4 ohms. So that means the wattage would be cut in half? So I'd only be pumping 360 rms, not 720 rms? Is 360 rms enough for this sub? Should I wire another way or use the 4 ohm GCON to get 720 rms? Thank you so much!
