hey what size would you recommend for 2 xcon 15s and 2 sundown 1500s going in the back of a 2005 dodge quad cab truck. my MAX measurement on width is 57" and on depth is 24". height is flexible but i dont want it blocking the window lol

what exactly does the xs power vcm controller do?

well i have had charging problems in the car for years and it gets old having to rev up at stop lights when you got the lights and windshield wipers on lol so i wanna do a full upgrade. i figured since i have to buy an alternator anyway i might as well get the HO. now that im deciding to put the stereo in it imma need it anyway. battery i want something that will do good all around, stereo as well as powering the car. idle voltage isnt the best as it is cause of the cam n stuff but i know it can be better.

i can agree about the icon. i went from kicker comp vr 15s powered by a us amp to a fosgate T1 powered by a jl 1000/v2 in a ported box to an icon on the same amp and in the same box and it was a trememdous difference. the box was tuned a lil high for the icon tho but it would still get really low and played really clear. now i have an xcon on order and have a 4cu 33hz box waiting for it and trying to decide if i wanna leave the jl in my truck or put the sundown in it

aww come on somebody help me out please lol

ok thanks, email sent

hey all, im in the process of trying to possibly put a xcon 12"/sundown 1500 setup in my car. its a 95 camaro. well my charging system is shot i need a battery and alternator ANYWAY. can someone steer me in the right direction as to what battery and alternator i would need to power the stereo and car. ive heard a lot of bad things about the optima batteries so are there any other options?

got a 95 camaro and would like to put a xcon 12 in it. can ya make it happen i would like to go ported but if thats not possible just lemme know. i know its probably kinda hard to do without having a car to go by since the trunk is jacked up. just let me know what ya can do for me buddy. thanks in advance

I just figured it would be a good deal of difference goin from the jl 1000 to the Sundown 1500 but I have been wrong before.500 watts just seemed like it would be a big enuff difference to hear

well the aux has a volume too ranging from -8 to +18db which i usually play it around +13

i actually like my jl it plays clean and i like the fact that you get the max and whatever ohm load and at a broad range of voltage. only bad thing for me is it is kinda hard to set up. i was just wandering if it would be a big difference in the extra 500 watts but that got answered earlier. as far as the voltage it might not be a problem anyway since i have a diesel with 2 batteries. my voltage barely moves n when it does its right back to 14. if i was just now buying an amp or knew about sundown before hand ya can get the sundown 3500 for the price of the jl

i was reading the tutorial and i see where i did a few things wrong, mainly setting the gain where i usually listen to my music n stuff. what i wanna ask is as far as using the test tone to set it i NEVER play cd's in my radio i always use my mp3 player via aux port. it plays WAY louder then my cd's do so should i set it that way or only do it by cd? next as far as setting up the bass boost before setting the gain i see it says use the center of 45hz( thats the center on my amp) do i use a 45 hz test tone too or still use the 50? also WTF do i set "Q" at?

what are you trying to gain? you wont notice an audible difference between the two amps, even if it is another 500 watts. your ears shouldnt be able to tell much, if any, difference. Well I guess what I was looking for lol, thanks

I was wanting to post something similar today cause I wanna know if the sundowns are that much better? I have a jl 1000/v2 and wondered if it would be worth goin thru selling it to get the sundown 1500

ok thanks ,,,got it on order n gonna get everything tuned right hopefully this time so i cant wait

bout to order a xcon n need to know something real quick...D1 can be wired for 2 ohms right?

fosgate t1, ssa icon

I guess Imma try the xcon but I still wanna get everything set up right. I would love to go with 2 xcons and a sundown 3500 but I don't seem to know enuff about setting up amps n stuff just for the record i read the gain setting tutorials on this site and the one on jl audio's site and went by pretty strict guidlines. the gain was set up right far as i know but the other stuff was off i guess. as far as my listening volume i played it pretty loud but thought i was in a safe range since i never even turned the radio as high as i did for setting the gain( volume goes from 0-50 when i played it loud it was ALWAYS on 28)

No the sub volume for the preouts were all the way up. The radio was 3/4 full volume when I set my gain.

more like coil

i did all that stuff. set the gain with no eq's or any of that stuff with a 50hz tone....the whole 9. i went back and added the bass boost later on and its only 4db i checked while ago. i guess i just dont know what clipping sounds like
