i love port area..... lol thanks for the input.... looks as if the cutlass is on hold for a minute.... chop

How about using actual numbers? They're easy to find by simply looking at the SSA Product page for the XCon. The T/S spec "Sd" is effective cone area stated in cm^2. If you want it in inches, just convert. That gives you 480 cm^2 per 12 which is 74.4 in^2. The 15s are 810 cm^2 or 125.55 in^2. That makes 5 12s roughly equivalent to 3 15s. Add another of each and the percentage cone area advantage is pretty significant for the 15s at over 10%. However 10% isn't an audible difference. The 15s also want a slightly smaller enclosure. All that said, in a high power application the increase in heat dissipation allowed by the extra 2 motors of the 12s may reduce power compression and more than make up for the cone area difference. In a daily system, you aren't going to notice the difference one way or the other. If it were me, I'd go with the 15s for the cost savings and space savings. nice of you to drop in..... very detailed answer offering alot of help....thanks a ton!

this will be usefull...lol thx chop

just FYI, both recieved thier shirts .......

For sure bro!!!! I speak for all of IAK when I say , Thank you and Mark for the great forums and the honor of having our Team hosted here! *side note..... just got Marks shirt back again!

i should have detailed info and sample by the weeks end..... monday for sure.... average cost of average size hoodies of average qaulity are right around $10 bucks, i have not looked up bulk orders due to the size variances..... i think if we clear a higher number....the art work should be under $25 .... i say this due to, that is the cost of a single work order..... we will be sure to drive the cost down, with out the qaulity being hampered...... i would think that a custom hoody for around $25 bucks, personalized with the individual's name on it would be a nice price.... the zip up style offers alot of opportunity to rep us proudly.... anxious to see where we end up with this one.... it was too cool seeing flocks of IAk all through out slamology! * Chop ..... 3xl * Gina...... 4xl * Kryssy ...... youth large * Kimberly ..... youth large * Samantha......... 3xl * Paul.............. 5xl * Alex............... 2t *********we will need to be sure to get the names desired, correct spelling, and sizes all in one post please********** this will cover our household.... i will ask around for the other family and edit my list to expand the order.... so that it will not get to clouded up for you.... thanks chuck rep us proudly IAK!!! chop

hope you are doing work bro!!! have not even started my audio yet, ftl guess i will be cutting it closs.... chop

thanks for the compliments fellars..... i certainly have several dozen "style" rides that i like.... this one sorta is themed toward my little brother (bear) , he loves this style and slowly building his 77 cougar up real nice.... it has been a learning experiance for sure..... when i started to look around, i kept open mided, gp is one thing we do alot of , almost daily.... i wanted something that would turn heads when the music was down.... currently, i have only recieved compliments from one shop to the next, stating that they respect me for doing everything right... and even more so on how solid of a car it is.... real excited about getting the dual alts on there! chop

lil brother found them on universalcarlifts.com for 100 bucks and 35 shipping hope that will help some... chop

I just took out the smog pump, and put the extra alt there. any pics or further info would be great! thx chop
