SSA Xcon 15 New Build

i know it's a lower sub that y i said to pair it with ts 2.8k., thats a good set up for lots less $
level of performance and output is a lot less as well. Sound quality of the Xcon is unmatched. TS subs arent proven by any where yet. While Xcons are know to be THE go to SQL woofer. Why suggest a half @ss upgrade with the op wants a legitimate upgrade? He's just gonna upgrade again within 4-6 months. While he could just have a proper setup that will last him for years.

 
I just checked out that Brutal Sounds 5K... how long has they been around?.. any issues you know of?.. Price is nice... .5 ohm capable with strong electrical... correct?.. how much electrical do you recommend to support 2 strapped into 1 ohm?.. just thinking out loud here... maybe next year...
its the typical new off the shelf korean amp board, just wait a year or two and it'll skyrocket.

Same as every other "brand" I'm sure. 6 months from now the price will either go up 50% or the company will go out of business (possibly both).

Xv2 > xcon.
If you don't care about playing above 50hz I'd say the same.

 
The x should be more robust at low frequencies. Imo xcons sound better.

The megaroll platform is great for low tuned applications, 4th orders, and just general low frequency demo builds. Quite a few ppl out here lately have gained going away from sundown. I love me some Sundown, but that new platform isnt ideal for all installs

OK... I don't list equipment with my posts... It's a budget build... I actually totaled everything up 2 days ago and I've spent just shy of $2100 and that's for all electrical, dampening, equipment, interconnect and materials... to see a list look at my profile...I THINK it's current... 152!.. that would be something... IDK... I haven't broke 150 since 1998 when Audiocontrol was the only meter used... at this point a 148 would be nice... I've waited a week... LOL!.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif

 
Gramps always gets a hard on for one spec. If it's not linear it don't matter how much it can move. If the suspension can't pull itself back to zero it don't matter how much it can move.
Yes I am learning this... I have been reading this tedious monster as well... https://www.scribd.com/doc/79732392/Loudspeaker-Design-Cookbook-Seventh-Edition-Vance-Dickason?irgwc=1&content=27795&campaign=VigLink&ad_group=25888&keyword=ft500noi&source=impactradius&medium=affiliate ... I'm at page 70 or so and I plan to finish it... LOL!... I might go blind first tho...
