Posted January 11, 201213 yr Sup all, i'm Brandon and i'm from Lincoln, NE. I've been into car audio since about 2004, on and off. I currently have 2001 Jetta 1.8T that i just purchased a 10" Dcon for. I just build a ported box 1.25cf tuned at 29hz. I ordered my sub a week ago and still haven't got a tracking number yet so who know's when i'll get it. Are these subs made.after you order or are they made ready to ship? I can't wait to hear this thing in my box. I just have a 10" RE X taking it's space powered by a JL 250/1.The setup i'm most proud of was in a 95 Camaro, i had a Kenwood KDC-X990 HU, Polk MMC6500 components powered by a Kicker KX350.2, a 15" FI Q in a 2.5cf ported box off a ED nine.1. I miss that setup. I also had the old SI Mag D2, PG TI12d's and an FI SSD.Right now i'm just going to run one dcon ported, with plans of possibly upgrading to 2 in the future, as well as upgrading to a 700wrms amp or so.

Be patient, you're gonna love it.It's not a big deal, the RE X really surprised me even with only about 150wrms i'm giving it. It's really building my expectations for the dcon. I did a lot of research and i couldn't find a better sub with this amount of power. The only other sub i considered was a Dayton HF because of it's supposed amazing SQ. Here is the box:
January 11, 201213 yr Author Most definitely. SI was the same way when i bought my Mag. It was well worth the wait.Wanna see a box you've never seen before?Yes, the power is bigger than ground. This was very temporary Edited January 11, 201213 yr by slikrider20
January 16, 201213 yr Author So i received an email the other day saying that my item has been shipped. When i click the tracking number, i get this message:A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.It has now said this for 4 days now. Is this normal now? I remember before when i got a tracking number i'd have the delivery date no more than 24 hours later. Edited January 16, 201213 yr by slikrider20

January 21, 201213 yr Author Emailed SSA about a week ago, still no response, and no clue as to when this sub is arriving. I paid the 6th..think i can just get a refund? Probably could find one used pretty easily.
January 26, 201213 yr Author MaybeSo....how do i contact these guys? my sub still hasn't shipped. i ordered the 6th. I sent an email about 2 weeks ago and have got nothing back. No phone numbers on their site.
February 9, 201213 yr Author Still hasn't shipped, wow. It really take over a month to build a sub? Edited February 9, 201213 yr by slikrider20
February 21, 201213 yr Author I got my sub today finally. I have a 1.2cf box tuned to 28hz. JL 250/1 powering it. I noticed today that my amp only has an "infrasonic filter" Is this the same as a subsonic filter? It only allows me to have it off or at 30hz, which is silly because that is ABOVE my box tuning....Time to upgrade amps? If so, any recommendations? My sub is a Single 4ohm, so i'd need at least 300wrms if not more at 4ohms.I was thinking about this one:http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23548_Hifonics-Brutus-BRZ1200.1D.html Edited February 21, 201213 yr by slikrider20
February 21, 201213 yr Admin Going from your JL to that HiFoincs would be a down grade in quality. Give the Dcon some time to break in, and then decide on if you want to upgrade amplifiers.
February 21, 201213 yr Author Does anyone know about the infrasonic filter though? Is that the same as an SSF? I should probably just turn it off and be careful since it is set higher than my box is tuned to..
February 23, 201213 yr I'd probably just turn it off. Like said above, let the Dcon break in for a bit on that JL. An AQ750 would work well on that!
February 23, 201213 yr Author I ended up just turning it off, and it made a huge difference. "Put on" by Young Jeezy hits lower louder than any system i've had. And i'm only running 1/5 of the power i have before. (ed nine.1 on a 15" fi Q) Edited February 23, 201213 yr by slikrider20
