    Expectations=Surpassed

    I had an SSA Icon 12 in my car for about a year on 1200w RMS. The sub was in a 2.5ft^3 box tuned to 33 hz and it was definitely the most musical sub i have ever listened while dropping an insane amount on lows. I sold the sub a few months ago, ordered an Xcon 15, and built a 5ft^3 box tuned to 33hz again. The sub arrived yesterday packaged inside a crate that was inside a box lol. This thing must not have moved an INCH. The suspension on this sub is STIFF. Most definitely the stiffest suspension I have felt. Anyways, after hooking it up to my MB Quart Onx2000.1, I can say this thing is...well for lack of a better word...a MONSTER. The move up in cone area and power defintely made a huge difference in the amount bass. The xcon seems to the play the higher bass notes with more authority as well. Overall, this is one kick-ass sub and I cant wait for the suspension to loosen up and spend more time playing it. SSA has never let me down.

    It's amazing how accurately this sub can play music while getting loud. I haven't even taken to the time to set my low pass as well as I'd like. I think I need to weld my trunk shut to stop the flex. I only weigh 160lbs or so but the trunk still flexes even with me sitting on it!

    how to wire, E12s

    One side of the sub will have two terminals. One will be negative and the other will be positive. If you spin it around, the other side will be the same thing. They all have a marking somewhere or a black or red color to identify which terminal is which.
  4. The bumper is fiberglass or something its definitely not sheet metal, and when i pulled the bumper out, the rattle drastically stopped. I think there is some plastic piece smcking against the frame or something. I sprayed expanding foam in a few places i thought were the cause with no luck. I dont have a system in my car for the moment because im waiting for my 15" xcon so i have to wait to get everything hooked up again. I was planning on just knocking everything out and having everything ready for my xcon to go in.
  5. I have a 08 Impala and when I had my Icon 12 on a 1200D, the bumper rattled like crazy. I had two layers of Raamat on the trunk outer skin. It seems like there is a piece of plastic or something smacking the frame behind the bumper and causing most of the rattle. Just wondering if anyone has fixed this issue. I have an Xcon 15 coming and it will be on 2000w~ and I know it will be a little worse. Any help is appreciated.

    You know what I don't like?

    The same thing happened with my Icon 12. People thought I had two 12s or two 15s lol. I can't wait for the Xcon. It's been about 23 business days so anyday now the sub should be shipped...I hope

    I don't like how you guys sent me a coupon code for the new Zv3 Sundowns when I'm still waiting on my new Xcon to ship! STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME SPEND MORE MONEY! Lol jk in all honesty, I love this company and I'm excited to get xcon 15! I had an Icon 12 last year and was blown away what one 12 could do! I'm anxious to here the Xcon now!

    daily ground pounder subs

    Two 15" Icons will do nicely. I had one 12" in the trunk of my impala on 1200 watts RMS and was surprised on the output.
  11. As the title says, I hooked up my SSA Icon 12 to 200w today Since my Audioque 1200 doesnt come until Thursday and I noticed a few things... 1. Looks like I will definitely need to buy new speakers and amp them. 2. I severely underestimated this sub. This thing is a monster on only 200w 3. I have a ton of work to do to get rid of the insane rattle going on in the back. This is probably one of the loudest systems ive heard to date and its only on 200w right now. Ive never been so impressed by a single sub on such low wattage ever.

    Wired SSA Icon 12 to 200w(4 ohms) today...

    I cant wait to get my Audioque 1200 then!

    Wired SSA Icon 12 to 200w(4 ohms) today...

    My friends wanted to hear my system and they all said "Wait this is only 200w?" Im so proud of my sub! I cant imagine what its going to be like on 1200

    Great Shipping time!!!

    I ordered the amp just now. Its an Audioque 1200d like posted earlier. So this whole system should be finished pretty soon. I still cant believe how loud it got on 240 watts. I had it on the back seat of my truck and the whole passenger seat was flexing on the lows. Ive never seen anything go so hard!
  15. I put in my order for an SSA Icon 12" driver on either the 27 or 28th of August and to my surprise, the sub will be this Monday. About a 2 week wait! I was not expecting such a fast time. The website says expect a 3-4 week build so I did. I havent even ordered my amp yet! I need to get on it!

    Great Shipping time!!!

    I hooked the sub up temporarily to 4 ohms so it was getting about 240 watts or so and,,,holy hell! This thing was murdering the LOWS! Only on 240 watts. It was insane. I cant wait to get more money and get an amp for it

    Great Shipping time!!!

    Yah stuff happens...seeing this sub not in my truck is horrible!!!

    Great Shipping time!!!

    You will be pleased with your purchase for sure. I still havent hooked this thing up. Its just sitting in my room. After my tranny blew, theres just no point.
  19. As the title says, I should be ordering an ICON soon enough. I just have to wait and see when the credit card payment goes through before I can order this beautiful sub. My current system is two Kicker Comp 10" subs in about a 1.2ft^3 sealed down firing box. The amp is a Kicker a Zx400.1 which is birthed at 484 watts. For the mids/highs I have two Infinity referrence 6.5s up front with a Rockford Prime R125 putting out 140 watts to the front two speakers. For the rear I have two Alpine Type S 6x8s ran off my Kenwood Kdc-mp345u head unit. My electrical is a stock alt, Die Hard Platinum Deep Cycle under the hood, big 3 done in 0 gauge Knukoncepts wire, and 4 gauge wire running to both amps. For the ICON, I built a 2.5ft^3 net ported box tuned to around 32 hz with 41.5 square inches of port area and I will be powering it with an Audioque1200.1D. The box was the first one ive ever built, so its a little rough and the tuning is probably a little off but no more than 1 hert. I did take the liberty to brace the box as much as I can. I used five 3/4" dowels to brace the box and some 3/4"x 3/4" pieces of wood to help brace the joints. Im so pumped for this system! This is the second system of mine and I plan to keep on learning and progressing my skills.

    Ordering an SSA ICON 12 soon

    Thank guys. I hope this thing doesn't leak air. I didn't think of putting silicone down before installing the port. So now the port doesn't have any silicone on it at all. I did put a lot of glue though so hopefully it stays air tight

    Ordering an SSA ICON 12 soon

    Well...Out of nowhere, my truck's tranny blew yesterday. So hooking up this beautiful sub will have to wait a little bit until it is fixed. But here are some pics of the build (hopefully). First couple walls built: Now the port and some bracing: A little extra bracing: Fully constructed : (I made a nice gouge in the sub cutout hole) Painted port: Finished product: Comparison:

    I got my sub from UPS yesterday and all I can say is WOW! This sub is a monster compared to my Kicker Comp 10's!

    Ordering an SSA ICON 12 soon

    Ordered the Icon not too long ago. Now the waiting game begins. Thankfully I finally hooked up the crossovers and tweeters for my Infinity components. They sound pretty good now. Hopefully they are loud enough for the Icon. If not, a 4 channel amp will be replacing the 2 channel Rockford I have.

    Ordering an SSA ICON 12 soon

    Ehhh The enclosure isnt too visually appealing what so ever haha. Not only was it the first enclosure Ive ever built, it was the first thing ive ever built out of wood period. Not to mention the fact that Home Depot didnt cut the pieces to the exact measurements.
