January 14, 201015 yr Author Both woofers are designed for different purposes. What are your goals?to get really loud.whats the two different purposes,i hope thats not a stupid question.Can you explain the two different sounds i can expect?

The XCON performs well in low tuned SQ oriented applications, where the Nightshade is more of a balls out loud woofer. I own Nightshades and they perform very well, I also want to try the XCONs though. Both have similar power ratings.

The XCONs like to be tuned between 27-33 Hz.

January 14, 201015 yr Author I have a 14" high trunkl, so they are 12".My trunk is 19" inches and 36"wide you think 15" woofers could fit?would the sound be that much bigger between the two sizes?

Of how deep are you willing to go? Choose the size of woofer based on the enclosure, I chose 12" woofers because their enclosure was the largest that would fit in my trunk.

January 14, 201015 yr Remember to leave enough room in your trunk for ampS, batteries,...2 12's in a good box will sound much better than 2 15's in a box too small for them.You will not loose by going with 12's. But be sure to make a box as big as it should.I was not aware of that when I bought my 15" Icon, so when I changed for an Xcon (I wanted to keep my box), I stayed with a 15" woofer. And I still have no room for anything more in my trunk !!!Are you sure you need so much ? 3500 watts ? Don't forget the deadening of your car with such an insane bass.You need a new HO alternator, some batteries, big size wires,...Is it your first system ? If it is the first one, it's really big !

Unless you plan on building the box inside the trunk, you may be more limited on box size than you think. So if you can, create a box with the dimensions you're thinking about out of cardboard and see if it'll pass through the opening.
