Posted April 17, 201015 yr I'm not sure if this is the right section I hope it is. I hope you guys enjoy the pics http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac40/gadgeteer123/Xcon/100_0381.jpg Edited April 17, 201015 yr by Small Town Audiophile
April 17, 201015 yr Nice looking enclosure! Exactly how do you have the woofer wired up? Looks like a positive from one coil and a negative from the other coil to me!
April 17, 201015 yr Its wired as 1-ohm, one wire is wrapped around the magnet.So it's a dual half ohm? Looks wired in series.
April 17, 201015 yr Author its a dual 2 ohm its wired in parallel, You can't even see the wire around the magnet in any of the pics...
April 17, 201015 yr its a dual 2 ohm its wired in parallel, You can't even see the wire around the magnet in any of the pics...Ah, indeed.
April 19, 201015 yr its a dual 2 ohm its wired in parallel, You can't even see the wire around the magnet in any of the pics...There must be 2 wires that we can't see : one for the + and one for the -.Nice enclosure. Seems big and heavy !How do you like the sound ? Have you tested it yet ?
April 19, 201015 yr Author I just hooked it up yesterday, up to a 1600rms at 1-ohm hifonics amp, on a 105 amp stock alternator with no extra battery's. It sounds good and it seems as loud as my old sub but sounds better.. My old sub was a kove armageddon. I know it can go louder, but every time a note hits my needle dips down to 11 volts and then I hear the amp distort. I am planning on getting a extra battery and a 180 amp alternator upgrade in a month, so when I get that all done it should be super loud . Then I gotta save to get a sundown amp instead of this hifonics but the new amp won't be for a long time.
April 19, 201015 yr WOW, I am SOOO full of ENVY right now. THAT is one gourgous enclosure and XCON sub. I voted your topic 5 stars BTW.Once I got my HO alt. installed I could hear the difference in how much authority the extra POWER made in the sub amp. You will be happier with the Sundown amp also.
April 19, 201015 yr Author omg, I had a wire on backwards and now it is so much louder, It still makes my voltage drop but it hits so much harder, everything I looked at appeared to be moving even outside of the car so we know it wasn't the car that was vibrating lol I can't wait to get more power to it now. now thats its even louder the voltage goes all the way down to 10v which is kinda shocking, because this amp may not be of the best sound quality but it is super efficient.
April 19, 201015 yr Admin That is a serious drop. I would suggest easing off until your electrical system is a little more beefed up to handle the current draw.
April 20, 201015 yr Author Ya, well i was just playing with it, you know how it is when you first hook up your new system. when I did a bass tester my head-unit shut off. I am ordering a 180 amp alternator rebuild kit on may 1st when I get paid. It Will replace my current stock alternators internals
April 21, 201015 yr Author From what I have heard in my car in the last day, I am just like wow, I knew it would be louder, but I had no idea. I think the reviews on the xcon are under-rated. This thing is awesome, and it pounds like no tomorrow. I don't even have it powered fully and it makes my rear hatch push outwards, and my roof flex to the point where it touches my roof rack. I couldn't even light a lighter. Its so loud. It loves the lows.

I'd be real careful of that.

Seems big and heavy !How do you like the sound ? Have you tested it yet ?Just seems like an odd way to wire a sub parallel.
