Get rid of the shitty RE sub, orher than that your good. Look into ID for your sub. You dont need a circuit breaker. Shit looks good though.

I don't have a problem with the sub, though you could find better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Honestly. What sub ID makes that is 500 watts lulz. ID is the shit for SQ/SQL.

Lol. true enough. Think the Dcon would have any troubles with 500?

Im not too familiar with SSA but their shit seems to have a hot following because of the SQL.

Exactly. I just read a pretty in depth hands-on review of the Dcon and the guy was practically drooling over it. He loved the wide frequency response and the clarity. I want to say he had a JL 1000/1 to it (obviously not at full power though)

He could just build a bigger, more efficeint box for it but then he would have box rise.

I think a Dcon 12" in 2cuft @ 32-34 would do quite well.

From SSA:

Enclosure Recommendations:

Sealed: .90 cu.ft.

Sealed: 1.20 cu.ft. optimal

Ported: 1.75 cu.ft. @ 28-33 hz

Ported: 2.25 cu.ft. @ 28-33hz opt.

Sub Outside Dia.: 12.500”

Cut Inside Dia.: 11.150”

Mounting depth: 6.500”

Displacement: 0.14 ft^3

For his 500 watts though, i would do 2.5-2.75 @32.

That's what gains are for //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

He is only bridging a MB quart on it, unless i missed something.

 

[Bumpin' Goalie 10+ year member]

Bridging RL and RR i would imagine. Should have gain setting for the rears?

But still, there isnt much to work with. If i were him i would pick up a used Mono here on the forum.
