Currently have a 15" Xcon sealed at about 3.2 cubes which I've had on various power from a BC3500d, Kenwood KAC-x810d, JL 500/1, rf T5001bd and I loved it(still love it).... This was all in a '03 Camry with an upgraded mechman 320a ... 

 

 

My situation is now I have a new 2016 Mazda3 hatch.... I dont really want to do much audio wise yet besides at bass.. clearly much smaller space... 

 

My options I've considered:

 

add in LOC so I can get audio to a low power sub amp or use my ZED mikro4 and bridge to a dual 4ohm sub 10"

 

sub wise:

 

downgrade to any 10" SSA sub and port.. aka Dcon, GCON, ICON, Xcon

 

OR

 

purchase basket and recone for Xcon 10" and put in some work on the sub to get the 10" I want...

 

 

Opinions??? Pricing for downgrade of basket and recone? 

 

At a loss at the moment and sad when I drive without music I can feel.... 

 

I'd figure out the space first, then start thinking of what to put in it.

Yes, let's start with the volume available.  Then we can go from there.  If you want to do a MIKRO, we would want to move to a Gcon probably if you are staying with a 10" as there are no Dcon 10's in stock at the moment.

Will you be able to fit this HO alt on this Mazda ?

I drive a CX-5 and the alt is not working like I want  ! It keeps my voltage at 12.5 v.

How is yours on this Mazda 3 ?

 

If you love the Xcon, recone it to a 10 or 12" .

You can even fit a 15" in the hatch, maybe not the 3.2 ft3 box if you want to keep some cargo space.

Gcon is a bang for the buck beast btw

So max space I want to use is 16x16x19 which should be more than enough for a 10" ported... and even possibly a 12" but I'd rather a 10" and stay small as possible ... about 2 cubes even gross...

I love my 10" XCON!! I don't think you'll be disappointed in the least keeping the XCON and going down to the 10" size.

thanks yea I know I'll be happy... I just miss the music so much, I know that just the sub won't be 100% satisfying but man is it hard driving more than 20min on stock stereo .

anyone think a pvc port opening 2" away from inside box wall going to be an issue? I mean if anything I'll stick some port out if needed..
