July 29, 201312 yr That box looked bad ass. Why did you switch up and go with two xcons? Edited July 29, 201312 yr by BigGuy
July 29, 201312 yr Author Thanks! I thought it was just too much. I really didn't need it to be that loud. Also the weight was an issue too. One Zcon 12 was plenty loud for me lol i then thought of trying the Xcon 12 to make it more of a sq setup than decided fuck it ill get another lolThe weight of the Zcon and Xcon are similar but this time I have 2 amps that are smaller than the 3 I had before. Each Xcon is slightly lighter and the box will be made of birch. Also the battery is farther up towards the the front of the car.

July 29, 201312 yr Author Ohh I know!! I have the one 12 in now front firing with it about half sealed off and it gets pretty loud. If I had a better box in there for it, it would for sure get a shit ton louder lol
August 8, 201312 yr Author So here are the pics I have for the 1 12" Xcon. Sexy as hell Installed in box. Made a false floor so everything would slide around Not going to make everything look that good since it will be removed within a month.
August 8, 201312 yr Author Since I'm front firing sub/port I made some side panels to block the cabin from the trunk
August 8, 201312 yr Author Yea it does need more port area. When I first designed my box for the dual xcons I thought I was only gonna be able to do a certain amount of port area. I made it so this box was like half of the dual box. i wanted to see howbit would perform. it still sounds good but i know it cab be a lot better. no need to build another box since the other 12 will be ready in a couple weeks. But now I found out I can get a lot more room, so I can have more port area with the dual 12 box.

August 9, 201312 yr Author Ok so I just finished the box! Birch was much easier to work with than mdf. Also it feels a lot lighter too. This box is 5 cubes tuned to 31hz with 80in2 of port area. On to the pics
August 9, 201312 yr Author Awesome progression man! Looking forward to seeing the build done! Thanks Alton! It will be complete after I get back from Vegas. The box is all complete. I am going to paint it when I get back. I think it's braced pretty good
August 9, 201312 yr Yeah the box looks to have came out great. I saw in the list of equipment for the build you had down the Sundown components. Those installed yet?
August 9, 201312 yr Author No they're not. They don't fit in the 2012 fusion The 12 has 5x7 speakers. I tried making an adapter out of mdf but it wouldn't fit right. I'm just going to wait til I get the 2013 fusion. The 13 has 6.5s so it will fit.
August 9, 201312 yr Too bad you don't live closer, I'd help you make adapters. I look forward to reading your opinion on that set when the time comes.
August 9, 201312 yr Author Thanks man. I might try to do it again. I was in a rush last time. Maybe that's why it was bad and it didn't work. Whenever I do get them installed I'll let you know how they are.
August 9, 201312 yr Author Box looks great, very happy you have stayed with SSA all the way through. Thanks Aaron! SSA has great products and customer service! Why wouldn't I stay with you guys?
