BallinLikeANutsack Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi, i currently have an RE SX 18, wired to 1 ohm, powered by a SAZ-1500d in the trunk of my car and its just not doing it for me... I think the box is too monsterous for my trunk.. Anyway i found a 15" ZCON on craigslist (not sure of the impedance) for $350 in a box.. I know thats a steal but i'm kind of scared to go from an 18 to a 15.. I plan on keeping the amp i have for a while, but if the sub is DVC 2 ohm would my amp be enough to power a it? If i get a bigger amp would the zcon out perform the sx? Will it be louder? Will i lose flex? I plan on building a new box for it if i buy it.. Would you guys scrap the sx and go for the zcon? Any and all opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomaguy1 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'd want more power for a zcon, but it would do ok on that amp Can't say if it will be louder, get more power on the zcon and with a nice box it will be better than the sx Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj_Scarface Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 i say zcox louder to me… here: it will work but to get full effect you gone need a bigger amp one day... zcon videos here we had 2 then 4 in a astro & just the 2 was doing damage... more videos on my page of Zcons before they evengot put into production https://www.youtube.com/user/1DjScarface Working on my 93' Ford Bronco rebuild:I have:pioneer AVH-P6500Infinity Reference 6032SI frontsInfinity Reference 6832CF Rears Crescendo CZ 6.5 kicks Crescendo 1100.4 (2) DC Audio LvL 4 M2's (1) Juicebox BlackcherryPiece together amps & wiringBout to get:Crescendo Amps Crescendo Mids Crescendo Tweets Sky High Car Audio Wire Rockford Fosgate 360.2 or .3 My Buildhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/97426-93-ford-bronco-rebuild-full-system-body-paint/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallinLikeANutsack Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Well.... i got a zcon and a nice box for $300.... but the spider is cracked between the tinsel leads on both sides :/ and i had a blast carrying it in the box into my apartment.. Oh well guess i get to sharpen up my re-coning skills.. Another question.. Are these spiders supposed to be stiff? cuz i press on it and get more movement than i do on my SX 18 (extra spider on it though). and sorry for the double post guys..

youngbass98 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 When ssa had their tax season sale I picked up a zcon 18 for 450 and if I remember right the 15 was like 425 or something so I would try and wait for a sale or just save up because you never know what the sub has been through with its previous owner. And I would also want more power on it too Edut: just saw the post abover 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj_Scarface Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Cracked spider? Dose that crack go all the way through, Because i know that sub has multiple spiders. Hummm push the cone, does it move freely? Hear any coil rubbing or noise? The ones we had was still stiff because they never got fully broken in cause of amp problems & back to back rebuilds before changing out to 8 icon's But the spider should be to loose because it 4+ spiders sandwiched together.

BallinLikeANutsack Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I dont think it cracked all em them. I can push straight down on the center and no rub no noise.. I'll hook it up in the near future and see how it goes.. I'm gonna need some new coil springs before i can put this beast in the trunk lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
