That's some good news !!! Much easier to explain where/how to find you. It's always important to have a good (and short) marketing name. congrats

congratulations! Your friend ask you for a trade with a Sony Xplode ? He must be mad, or ill, or silly : talk to him, take care of him, he needs something, for sure!!!

For example 1000 watts on a 15" Icon and 1000 watts on a 15" Xcon (same brand) ? They are not the same subs, so it may be difficult to know which one will be louder. Which one would be Better ? It's really another point, another problem! Better for what? I will soon change my Icon for a Xcon : I'll let you know the results!

actually if i go with rockford am going to go threw ssa store. saw you had the cheapest price. thanks. but would like the kicker l 7 speakers. they are slammin around the hoods. Give us another reason to buy these L7! slamming around the hood ? You can do that with ANY subwoofer. Trust me : L7 slam for sure, but, as an ex-L7-owner, you will find much better subs at the ssa store. Make a topic in the sub section, and ask for the other choices you may find. Or just get a combo ssa/sundown on the store : xcon/saz1500 with a custom box built to specs, and you will kill them in the hood !!!

1500 watts for just ONE sa 8 ? It's a bit much, be careful with the gain knob. Set the gain right where you need it. How much power will you use? People need that information to tell you if you need a second battery.

Look at the subs on the ssa store : I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. And they're not the most expensive!! I like the fact that you can talk to the owners of the different brands here. You will have all the info you need. Good luck

It is not a good point for Audioque, really not! Nobody came in to tell us good things about them.

Thank you M5. I need to study some more ! I must try to set my amps like that, one day! I love this forum !!!

I don't understand why you designed the exterior panel of the port like that. I understand the benefits of the double flared port, but I can't see the use of this long piece of wood (outside of the box). But, nice work !! Congratulations ! You do that for a living ??!!!

Very technical thread ! 1) I thought you had to set the sub sonic fillter just under the tuning frequency of the box. My box is tuned at 32 Hz, and I tried to set the ssf at 30Hz. Is it really too high ? 2) BTW how can you be sure of the amps settings? It's difficult to see on all the amps I had : there are just a few numbers written for the amps settings. Thanks a lot for all the informations we receive on this forum !

Really? I have never heard of that. I will have to try that in my own install. I will have to try that too. but, so far, I love how my speakers sound !!!

All the amps listed are good ones. Look around again! I saw internal pics of some AQ and Sundown amps : you can tell which seems better just by looking ! I know nothing about electronics, but it was so obvious !!! If you have the money, go for the Sundown. If your budget is too small, go AQ or APipe. Or save money until you can afford a Sundown. The saz 1000 seems to be a good choice : you don't want to compete, so you don't need 1500 watts, and you want to keep your electrical stock. It's up to you now ! Tell us what you choose.

This looks good ! one little question (silly maybe, but, you know, we learn everyday !) : How is the output with this kind of instal when the back seats are up? Do you loose a lot? I feel like the seats are going to block/stop the bass too much.

Don't forget that 2 Icons are more expensive than one Xcon. But both will be good ! Good luck

The OP wants a pair of L7 : difficult to find on SSA !!! Nobody tried to make him buy some other subwoofers ?

For 2 L7 15" you can use 2000 watts. What are your voice coils config ? DVC2 or DVC4 ? You must know that before getting any amplifier. All the amps listed make their "maximum" power at 1 Ohm.

You drive a grand Cherokee? you have room for 2 big boxes !!for sure

I like the box, a lot. How does your customer like it, going from sealed to ported?

It's unfair !Your boxes are too beautiful! I like how you do the port : what is that material? Not just paint? How can I do that myself?

I know nothing about electronics, but I was wondering how can it be 4 x 50 and 2 x 160, not 2 x 100 ? I use my 50.4 bridge, on my component set (rated for 2 x 80 watts), and I don't see my speakers struggle at all ! They seem to like that Sundown power. (I've set the gains by ear, no DMM settings). I've noticed a big improvment with the outputs from the tweeters, but not so much from the mids. I use the passive filters.

Have you bought the btl already ? You're sure it's what you want/need ? You could take a look at the xcons : they're more musical than the btl's.

Try the 12" Icons. You will see later if you nedd to build another bigger box. With that kind of amp, you will love them subs. I am quite sure you won't want the w6's!!! I hope you have a good frontstage, because you will have soooo much (clean) bass !

Hi, If you want to listen to music everyday, and not only test tones to compete, you can also try a 15" BL in a big ported box. There are also lots of other subs that can do the job. I've never heared a Bl or a Btl, but I would chose the Bl. Just my 2 cts.

This box is looking soooo goood !!! Good work !

number 7 for sure !!!
