August 30, 201213 yr Austin and I are getting ready to do a build with 2 RE SX 18's. The older ones though.Sweet! I got no issues with RE! Picked up that sub crazy cheap, and I bump the CRAP out of it 24/7. It smells bad, but bumps like a champ!I think the only thing saving it is that tiny tiny sealed box. If it was in anything else I'm sure I would have folded the cone inside out by now.I like to play it so it's "just barely" not hitting xmech! hehe -Jamie M.
August 30, 201213 yr Okay haha as you all have seen the beating im putting on this gcon what would you guys suggest. 4 of them or should i go with 2 18s? especially in my van. id like some bigger series looking at xcons or a single zcon 18. i know its a big step up but i need something that will take my beatings and i wanna be louder than the kicker families at school haha. gotta show them what SSA is all about and no thats not how i screwed up my sub haha. but i need some recomendations on subs im going to be running them on my ap1500 for now and after i get a car the Gcon is going in there and the van will be my bass wagon. So help me out guys what do you think like a wise nem once said ''do not rush'' so im taking it easy getting some feedback and some tips. help me out fellas.
August 30, 201213 yr 18's move a MIND BLOWING amount of air. Two 18's would knock the socks off any of your Kicker fanboi friends. I'm not sure which two SSA 18's you could push to their max on your ap1500, even a pair of xcon's could take 2500rms total.A single 18 zcon would be amazing too, but I think would work better with a little more than your ap1500, maybe ap3000d? -Jamie M.

Any car that has "fuel economy" would be difficult to squeeze two 18's in Are you still thinking ported? If you go back to sealed you might be able to put something INSANE in something like a Mini Cooper S, fun to drive, great on gas, SWEET hatchback for a MONSTER system -Jamie M.
August 30, 201213 yr haha cant afford a new car man im only 17 i need somehting i can pay straight up for but im keeping the van and putting the 18s in there and the gcon in the car. so we will see how everything goes. but i would like more opinions aswell thanks for yours jamie!

Can pick up Mini Cooper S turbo's for around $5k here all day long Can't beat that deal! Ahhh, 18's for the van... where's the fun it that? Squeeze some (or a single) 18's in your new Mini Cooper S Turbo and then we're talkin -Jamie M.
August 30, 201213 yr You beat the hell out of that poor sub...LOL! It seems to have held up pretty well though for the abuse. SSA FTW!! Good luck with finding a economy vehicle, wish I had one. 99 Burban=bad gas mileage, with approx 7-800lbs of equipment= worse! Haha!
