Those 12s are really nice !! Ever since I saw that video of the 300 bagged with the 2 Xcons I been wanting to know what that song was so thank you very much!! Now I know:

I'm not going for an SQ set up as much as just trying to maximize the over all sound quality for "my" tastes. When I say "my" tastes I just mean that it might take a little less to satisfy me then some of you guys that have had all kinds of different set ups and been there done that so to speak. I just feel that components like the ones I'm getting or any other nice comp set behind door panels(especially mine) can hinder thier performance. Am I off base on this?

Thats a sweet looking port!

lol i know ive seen that pic somewhere... um i would think the pods would do quite a bit but unless you have them sealed sound dampening would help too. If you can pull it off id lean towards the door pods. That cdt setup was in a tacoma and sounded awesome btw I guess credit goes to you then for the pic and I guess you would be the right one to talk too about this given the example lol. How much did something like that run you if you don't mind me asking. Also, what did you do in the way of sound deadening. I wouldn't have to deaden the door like I was gonna put the speakers in the door. Would I?

Price completly aside, how much better sound quality would you get with door pods vs components in a fully deadened door? I have a Crown Vic and my main goal is to get the best possible sound out of the components I'm gonna be getting. I'm going with the Image Dynamics XS series components. If I get them in the doors I'm gonna go with stock size 5x7s(XS-57). If I do the pods I'll go with the 6.5s(XS-65). Again my main goal is the sound quality of the comps so if the door pods sound just slightly better, than I'll pass. If the difference is dramatic though, its something I'm really gonna take a look at. I know there are a lot of variables involved in anything like this so based on the info supplied, what do you guys think? If there is any info that I left out that might help you help me, or if I need to be set straight on anything, just let me know. Thanks a lot. This is my door This is what I had in mind. (credit to whoevers pic this is)

I bet that Nightshade is gonna love that SAZ- 2000

I will. can't wait!!

Finnaly pulled the trigger and ordered a mighty XCON!! I love what you guys are doing and I can't freakin wait to get my Xcon!! The sense of community is really one of the many things I really like most about you guys and I love supporting the smaller business. (Especially when they have the capability to kick the arse of most of those mainstream companies!) Been out of the game for a while and it really wasn't like this last time I had a system. I was so close to getting JL its not even funny. Thats before I stumbled onto the SSA forums and the rest as they say is history. I've learned a lot from you guys on all of the different SSA froums and I truly appreciate it!! Months of reading and learning and I've successfully broken free of the bonds of mainstream hype!lol Anyway, proud to be on board with SSA and I look forward to hearing that sweet a$$ Xcon 15 in a Pound that Sound enclosure. I also informed my new SAZ-1500d hes got a new playmate on the way lol:) I know without a doubt I'm gonna be satisfied X) SSA FTW!! THANKS everybody!! -David

What would be the best for ported? I haven't made any final decisions on the box so ported is still on the table. 3.5-5.0ft^3 @ 31hz Awesome. thanks for the info guys. Haven't had a system in 4 or 5 years. Just ordered a Sundown SAZ-1500D and SAX 50.4 so I got to wait until next month to order that Xcon

What would be the best for ported? I haven't made any final decisions on the box so ported is still on the table.

After a long time debating what sub I'm gonna choose, I decided I'm gonna go with an Xcon 15. My question simply is, whats the ideal size for a sealed enclosure for 1 Xcon 15. I have a Crown Vic, so I have plenty of room. Thanks in advance.

Got a Nightshade 12 D1 and I have no box making skills so I'm at the mercy of someone else to have a box made. What would you guys recommend? Should I have it built at the local Car Audio shop, or would a place like this be ok? http://www.klausaudio.com/subwoofer-boxes/...p;x=23&y=10 If this site isn't any good, anybody have any alternatives online? Thanks.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Hey guys, bout to order a SAZ-1500d and a SAX-125.2 and I have a 12inch Nightshade on the way. I'm also gonna put a Kinetic HC1800 in the trunk. I'm gonna order a dual amp kit from KnuKoncepts. My question simply is whats the best amp kit for these amps? I guess it would be more of a question about what size I need. I just want to do it up as nice as possible. KnuKoncepts looked good, but I'm also open to recommendations of other wiring brands. I also want to do the Big 3. What exactly would I need for that? Any other suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been around for a while but been out of the game for about 5 or so years(not that I knew all that much back then), so I'm basically a noob to some of the stuff people are doing these days. Just trying to learn so I can do it up right. I'm definitely ready to get down with some Sundown though! Thanks in advance.

True that!!! I bet those 15s and that 2000 rock huh. I got a Crown Vic Police Interceptor. It has a stock 200 amp alt. If I did the big Three, would that be enough to support the saz-2000d and 2 Z 15? Ya know, I was just thinking.......

Thanks Sundownz. Have to wait until next week to order but I can't wait to get my hands on this stuff!!!

Anybody have any experience with the Z15 sub? Thinking about pairing one 15 with an SAE-1200D or SAZ-1000D. Also, what would be better, the SAZ or SAE? The Nightshade might be a little overkill for my tastes so I figured the Z15 might be just what I was looking for. Any feedback would be appreciated.
