beefy...

 

Build coming this weekend if all goes as planned. This sub is a monster!

 

Monster?? Lol, what are the specs on that thing? How big of a box you doing, sealed or ported? Material costs? Sub costs?

 

ssa is damn near the rolls royce of subs

 

Not really, just modelled it in WinISD against mine and with the exact same box, sucks ***** down low, but picks up great mid-range, like from 75hz-150hz. Great sub for sure, but not really a rolls royce... I'd say more of a lexus.

 

Why would you model with the same box, and what where the specs of it? I won't be using this above ~80hz, as that is where my midbass will kick in. This is SSA's high power sub but will have NO problem getting low or sounding good in a properly built enclosure, and good install. Which I am very capable of doing.


It's rated at 2250 but can take a lot more.

 

2250+ RMS. Definitely ported, MSRP is ~$470 + shipping. Box will cost < $100

 

Almost identical specs, thats why I modelled it in the same box, and I know everybody shuns it but with extremely close specs it wont matter much (maybe half a DB) I don;t know what you drive in the way of a maxi, but I have a 4.5m3 box and literally I have to take the sub out of the box to jam the box in, although I have mine firing up. Above 80hz that is where it shines like a fricken death star. Have you modelled it yet?? are you putting this in a car?? model it and check back in, or I can do different variations for you.

 

I had 6 cubes net in my I30 for my four Sundown Sa's. This box will be 5 cubes net with ~75^2 inches of port area tuned to ~34 firing into the cabin sealed off from the trunk. Subs really shouldn't have to play over 80 with a nice front stage.

 

eh, i wouldn't even call it a lexus...more of a H1 hummer

looking forward on seeing some build pics.

 

Very impressive numbers, I must say though not exactly what I was expecting. Looking forward to seeing everything once its done. GL!!!

 

Nice one, I want the xcon, but just lost 1700 at the casino...
Tell me what your plans for electrical supply are? more batts+upgraded alt?

 

Right now I'm running 1500 RMS on stock electrical + big 3. Near future will be a Mechman alt and an XS power group 31 (Will add another in the trunk if needed). I will also upgrade to ~3500 (Sundown, Crescendo, AQ, or something similar)

The XCON is awesome btw I had an 18 not too long ago, so stay out of the casinos for a few weeks and grab one

 

Progress so far! Will have more bracing when done.

 

It is LOUD and sounds great! Very flat from 30-60hz. Gotta clean up and then I'll be happy

 

The car is FILTHY from sitting in my garage not being driven and a light rain before I parked it over a month ago. I will give her a wash tomorrow and get some better videos up.

nice man, did you brace that huge motor inside somehow?

 

No need to the double baffle does just fine at holding the sub up. So far I'm very impressed with it.

 

huge port area

 

Yep! Sounds great so far.

 

did you brace the top panel?

 

Of course I did

 

Mmmmm Flexing ****!!!! love it! good job with the box, it looks awesome.

****Edit**** song in vid??

 

Thanks! Ace Hood- go n get it

 

Oh I forgot, great looking box man! I am impressed with the port design, I wish I could do the curve like that. Did you get it metered or anything?

 

Thanks, haven't gotten metered. I'm going to build a very slightly smaller enclosure and fire into the cabin sealed off from the trunk.

Or I might run my XCON 10's still brainstorming.

If anyone is interested in the ZCON or XCON's let me know.

 

What's gonna power this beast of a sub?

 

For now I have an ap1500 because my zrs 9 died on me. Probably a new build coming soon too!

 

I'm lovin' that box, how would ya feel about designing one for me?

 

No problem. Shoot me an email rickssi30 @ gmail
