15'' xcon or 12'' xcon

[geeeduck 10+ year member]

I'm planning on buying a ssa xcon sometime this month. but i'm not sure if i should go with a 12'' or a 15''. the only thing thats stopping me from getting the 15 is the box. I'm not sure if I can fit a box big enough for the 15. the biggest box i could fit would measure 35w, 22h, 15d. is that enough room for a 15? also, where can I get a custom box built? I live in southern california.

If you can squeeze 2.75 cubes (after port and driver displacement), you should be good. Usually though, it is better to have the smaller sub in a proper enclosure then a larger sub choked down.

I was able to fit a 15 in a 34 w, 17 high, 17 depth, came out to 3 cubes at 31 hz.

You could spend more money and go with two xcon 10s instead lol.

Marcos, where did you get 3 cubs? That's nearly a 6 cube box.

OP, you have plenty of space for a 15, honestly you have enough space to run 2 10s quite well which would be more motor/cooling. It would be a tad less cone area, however.

It was built by pro rabbit. It's 3 cubes after displacements. Thats the box my tc 15 was in.
