March 17, 201213 yr Popular Post Question #1- depends on your enclosure size, enclosure type and tuningQuestion #2- Most people i've seen on here run speaker wire to their zcons. Some others run DMMs to them when they screw them up and others run CA glue on them when they are rebuilding them.Question #3- I can't answer this one.. just gotta sit back and watch Titanic a couple hundred times back to back and then.... They'll be there.
March 17, 201213 yr I ran a crescendo bc5500 to mine...so roughly 2600-2800 eachExpect 3-4 weeks before you get them...is a safe estimate

They'll be there.q1:its going to be a trunk box so about 2.5 at most per sub around 35 hz q2: lol thats good info on that speaker wire thing what i ment to say is rms power wise per sub q3: have to get the rental card out and pick it up then pass out for around a month I ran a crescendo bc5500 to mine...so roughly 2600-2800 eachExpect 3-4 weeks before you get them...is a safe estimatehow big of a box do you have them in ? and figured something like that
March 17, 201213 yr I ran a crescendo bc5500 to mine...so roughly 2600-2800 eachExpect 3-4 weeks before you get them...is a safe estimateI've run my Zcon 18 on 5k for sometime, but it takes some experience to run that much power without any problems. If you plan on running a ton of power make sure your box is on the small side.. I've learned this the hard way when upgrading power. Lower power = Big box, Lots of power = small box.Current lead time is about 3 weeks excluding weekends.
March 17, 201213 yr 2.5ft3 is not horrible, but you can get by with less..around 2 - 2.25f3 net each would be just fine and work amazingly well.
March 17, 201213 yr I'm running 1200 to mine in a 6cu box So I think you will be ok. But will be running 2500 soon. A few other members are running 5k (smartly) 3-4 weeks would be good estimate

But will be running 2500 soon. A few other members are running 5k (smartly) 3-4 weeks would be good estimatei plan on up grading to around a single 5 k once i get rid of these amps and subs (sa-12s) still dont know exactly to what atm though
March 18, 201213 yr That only sounds better cus he said 3 weeks....excluding weekends.My box was 8cf after displacement and tuned to 32hz...
March 18, 201213 yr Admin Thank you for your order, I just finished processing it (them). Current lead time is 3-4 weeks unfortunately due to the "busy season" of car audio being right now.When the subs are due to ship, you will receive a store email with your tracking information.As I am positive any SSA subwoofer owner will tell you, they are well worth the wait.
March 19, 201213 yr Ihave had 2600rms going to my 1 15 in 4 cubed tuned at 30hz. Loves the power.And yes. Its well worth the wait for them
March 29, 201213 yr Author my bad i got caught up with work wonder why i never got email resposes hmm but here are some pictures of whats in there atm..what i use to set my gains..the 320 amp altthe sa -12s box tuned to around 35 hzmy two batterys2/0 welding cablethats All i gots for now should be more to come as i get iton a side note should i fiber glass the spare tire well into the intrunk box or would it cause more issues then benefits??
March 29, 201213 yr Author voltage dropp when the two amps are at 2 ohms so 4 ohms strapped also before the sound deaner
March 29, 201213 yr Thanks I hope I can get it louder at least a lil bit .. I don't think that will be a problem.
March 30, 201213 yr Author I'm thinking this is going to be the next box any input suggestions?Also this box will be fiber glassed inside, resin a mattgross volume 7.18port area 70 in^2port area per ft 12.30 in^2net volume 5.69 (2.845 per sub)tune 37.62 hz Edited March 30, 201213 yr by djrockstar
