I'm doing a new build in my van within the coming months, and honestly can't decide which sub setup I want to go with. A little back info, I currently have 2 Sundown Audio EV3 15s in a ported pre fab box (albeit exact to specs because I got lucky so they sound great), on 800 watts RMS (I know...

Alright thanks much for the help, it's much appreciated!

Ah alright I see, what would the advantage to the 6 15's be, just more cone area? Would this end up being louder/giving more flex or what? Thanks for the idea though that's a great thought.   ---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------   Oh yeah I...

It's in the back of a van behind the 3rd seat, so my max dimensions is 55 inches, by 20 inches, by 24 inches.

Hey everyone just a quick question, I have a 2000 Astro van that I will be putting subs in in a few months, and I am trying to decide between two configurations (for now, I will be going with something more extreme sometime next year). Either 2 SSA DCON 15's on 750 RMS, or a Single ICON 18 on...

Alright cool thanks, seems everyone has the same idea that venting isn't necessary, I read a few forum posts where some said it was a good safety precaution, but from what I've seen if the battery starts to vent the actual venting is the least of your worries lol (I would be more worried about...

I'm not currently using the Optima, but I do already have a YellowTop and just wanted to check about the venting issue before putting one in the back of my van lol. Everyone seems to be saying they've turned to crap, I always thought it was the gel cell design that made them so good, not the...

No I don't yet, but I do already have a YellowTop Optima battery, don't really feel like attempting to return it, and in that case I need Optimas for the back too since they're supposed to be identical batteries (as I have read in like 300 places lol correct that if it's wrong)...

Hey everyone, just a quick question for you all, I've been reading up on battery venting lately and got curious. I wanted to put 3 Optima Yellow Top batteries in the back of my van, but I was wondering if that's safe WITHOUT Venting? The Optimas are sealed so I've read the chance of them venting...

Hey everyone, so I am new to multi battery systems and what not and I'm incredible confused about how to do something. First a little background on what I will be doing, I am running 2 1/0 runs from the front battery to the back, there will be 3 Optima YellowTop batteries in the back. For amps I...

OH and one other question, I've read from some people that they run a ground wire back to the front battery, is that necessary or should one good ground in the back be fine? I've never done a system of this caliber, so sorry if I sound like a noob lol.

Yes sorry meant to mention that lol, there was a lot I missed there for a while. Yeah the Sundowns are great as well, been happy with them in the past myself. But I think I wanna try something different this time around, I'm now planning on going with the ZCON's. Also if you didn't, please do...

So since there so happened to be so many replies I'm just going to reply with one big reply, so look for your name below with the response also there is a general set of more questions below the names. Thanks again for all the help everyone, much appreciated, best response I've gotten on a forum...

Alright thanks for the reply. I'm debating between the XCON, and the Contralto. Thoughts?

Alright that's great to hear, I'm likely going with the XCONs now, but I have one more question, what do you know about the Contralto subs? I could grab 2 15 inch Crescendo Contralto subs for not much more money, are they much better of a sub though?
