Xcon vs zcon

[Falcons 5,000+ posts]

Obviously the xcon is more sq and the zcon is More spl, but put in their optimum respected boxes, tuned to 33 hertz, how would the sq of 2 zcons compare to 2 xcons? And how loud can xcons actually get compared to zcons? Ran off the same power of course (4500 watts)

The Xcons get brutally loud, but the Zcon's have the capability to get louder. Based on how you worded your topic, I highly doubt you are going to hear any difference in your install.

How do Xcons perform on 1000 watts RMS?

just fine..

the zcon is going to take anit more power..

I don't see them having a problem taking 3500 daily..

the xcon should take 2500 as well..

your not going to get huge gains but if you want 2db and your willing to upgrade everything inorder to do so they are one mean mofo..

Good to know! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

OK, next question. How would 1K on a Xcon 12 do at lower listening levels, like where it's only getting 100 - 300 watts? I ask because that's the biggest plus of my JBL P1224; it makes a lot of bass at lower volume levels. It has a pretty high sensitivity rating, which translates into roughly 88 dbs @ 1W/1M.

I love the JBL, but with such a low tune, it's running out of Xmax down low before the port affect reduces excursion. So, of course, the Xcon's ridiculous Xmax would fix that...

In my experience, one of the many amps I had on our Xcon's, was a trusty ZED made US Acoustics 2075. It was plenty of power to blurr the mirrors, even with the Xcon in a sealed box.

OP if you are only going to be listening to the sub at lower listening levels you may want to consider getting an icon instead or even a dcon.

im going huge when i get my new car. (most likely a hyundai santa fe, similar to twisted's) gonna start off with two xcon 15's. figured i'd check here to see if it is even worth it to spend the extra money on a zcon, and with my budget, i think not. gonna be ran off of 4k

i do kinda like the element. im not completely sold on the santa fe, just looks real nice for what i need. prolly not gonna be able to afford one till like december anyways. either way it will be better than what im driving now.
