Posted December 24, 201113 yr Hey. I saw the weight that's listed in the store, but is that with packaging?Anybody know what's the weight of the 12" and 15" Xcon?
December 24, 201113 yr Author Anyone have exact values? I know they are around 50 lbs, but I need to know exact values to calculate difference in weight between a 12" and a 15" subwoofer system. (It's going into a sports car, so weight is important)
December 24, 201113 yr Anyone have exact values? I know they are around 50 lbs, but I need to know exact values to calculate difference in weight between a 12" and a 15" subwoofer system. (It's going into a sports car, so weight is important)I can tell you for certain that they weigh less then 50lbs. The weight between the 12" and 15" is coming from the larger basket, so that's only a few extra pounds.How does values of 45lbs and 50lbs affect your outcome or design for the car?
December 24, 201113 yr Author The difference in weight is mostly the enclosure sizes. But when you take all the small things into consideration, it can add 10-20lbs to the total weight. That's why I'm trying to find exact values on my speakers, subwoofers, cables, battery etc. I want to have the 15", but if the 15" system becomes to heavy then I would have to go with a 12" or even a 10". I'm also trying to find out what power rating my system should be, more power = more weight. That's why I need exact values, because then I can compare a Xcon 12" system to a 12" 750W rms system. Because after all, the less weight the better, but I also want a good stereo. So I'm trying to find a middle ground between good car performance and a good stereo.
December 24, 201113 yr typically, increase in size of the same product line is generally only going to add 2-3lbs.
December 24, 201113 yr if u want your car fast you shouldnt be putting a box in there, let alone these monsters.
December 24, 201113 yr For reference the ten weighs 42 lbs in the packaging. I just got done shipping one.

December 25, 201113 yr Dude, if your so worried about 10-20Lbs. Don't build a stereo with such heavy equipment. Its that simple.

Could someone from SSA write here the weight of the Xcons? (I know it's the holidays, so I don't expect it soon.)The packaging couldn't have been much more than 1-2 lb. Ultimately I'd say disregard the weight of the driver as the difference is less than ~5 lbs. The enclosure weight will be much more substantial.
December 25, 201113 yr Author So it should be about 40lbs for the 10", 42lbs for the 12" and 44lbs for the 15", give and take 1lbs. Thanks guys.
