I have a 2002 pontiac bonneville, i have a FI BTL 18 right now, running of of an audiopipe aqx 3500.

I ordered a ZCON 18 a few weeks ago and haven't built a box for it yet.

The most i can get out of a box is around 6.5 cubes.

Any idea which one will be better to go with? also, it's mainly for music

thanks

Since you will have both, try each one out and decide for yourself which one you prefer.

Wish i had the money to just buy a ZCON to try out..

I say you just switch out the sub and keep the same box, and let us know the differences you hear then.

That'd be interesting.

I just wish I had a car I could put my sony xplods in.

Why of course good sir!

I was gonna just switch them out, but the ZCON won't fit because the port runs under the sub (BTL) and it barely fits

New box for the zcon or a spacer.

Damn, a spacer didn't even cross my mind. I might try that first, save some money

Saving money is always nice. What are the specs on your current enclosure?

30" x 30" x 15" (1" MDF) port is 28" x 3" and 32" long, tuned to around 35hz

Do you have access to a meter? I'm curious as to which would be louder. I know enclosure and vehicles resonant frequency play a part in it, but just for fun. My zcons are loud as shit.

What made you decide to switch to a zcon anyways? Just something different?

Thats a huge ass trunk! Fitting an 18 in a car like if it was an suv ftw!!

That's what I kind of wanted to know, lol. Or if he notices any direct sq differences.

Also - what generation BTL did you have OP?

I don't have a meter, but a friend of mine has a termlab. the BTL did 144.7 (music) before i upgraded my batteries / alt / wire etc.

Haven,t metered it since the upgrades, but hopefully the ZCON along with the upgrades will get louder

That, and it was just a split second decision. before i had time to change my mind, I already had it ordered. plus I was on my third week of waiting for a recone kit for the BTL.

Gen 2

That box is very small for an 18. Like < 4 cubes net.

x2 tiny box

Yeah, That's what sucks about my car. I can't really fit that big of a box in my trunk

Thinking about picking up a blazer or something before spring and just starting over

a 15" should work well in there
