Posted February 2, 201213 yr So... i have been rockib the DCON 15 for a while and i am VERY impressed. So i have decided to add 3 more! Yup... 4 15" DCONs walled behind the second row seatingI plan on doing a little deadener as welll. Not crazy tho. So i will be lookng to buy a 1200-1500 watt 1ohm stable amp. (Sae(x)(z)1200-1500, AQ1200-1500 etc. No more than $200 Pics and stuff later.
February 2, 201213 yr May I make a suggestion on the enclosure?Do a 4th order bandpass wall. It will be many times louder and sound much better then a traditional 4th order ported wall. The bandpass doesn't needs near as much vehicle to load off of compared to a standard ported wall which needs a lot to load off, and being behind the C-Pillar it can't load off the windshield very well. So a bandpass is the best idea. Just my $0.02
February 2, 201213 yr Nucking futs! I was wondering when someone was going to use 15" Dcons in a wall! Low power, big results! Tuned in for sure.
February 2, 201213 yr Author Ive never done any boxes other than ported. Not familiar with 4th order bandpass. Whats different?

February 2, 201213 yr Ive never done any boxes other than ported. Not familiar with 4th order bandpass. Whats different?Simple way to put it is a sealed box inside a ported box. And it loads off itself generally instead of the vehicle. And they usually play a wider frequency range then normal ported wall. I'd be more then happy to help you design one.
February 2, 201213 yr Admin Nucking futs! I was wondering when someone was going to use 15" Dcons in a wall! Low power, big results! Tuned in for sure.Me too. I love the efficient builds. Would be interesting if there was a competition class with clamped power and vehicle size. Stefan was doing big output with not much power for a while.

February 2, 201213 yr Author That sounds cool. Whats the space requirements vs a ported wall?I gotta measure.
February 2, 201213 yr Author I would like to start competing this year. It would be my first time. So i would need help figuring all that out. When does the new "season" start?And cancel the need for an amp inless its a SAE-1200. To pottentially be able to strap to th amp Im buying from my buddy for the build.
