it's all done by X-Ray and the distribution lines are tested with air on a clock

If I fuck up on a high pressure line There would be a crater with a bunch of burnt shit in the middle taking up about 3 square blocks
no biggie.... LOL

The high pressure line is about 1200 psi
the distribution lines are 62 psi
i have welded stopper fittings on 500 psi
... they dropped the pressure for me
can't say I wasn't nervous with those
i had a Muller ignite because of a leaky valve about 3 feet from me when I was
running a root pass on a transition and
got hosed down with a dry chem

Frankie Goes to Hollywood the extended version of Two Tribes as some nasty vision blurring bass.. I use it as a demo song all the time

those songs have bass from the original recordings
Dirty Diana flexed the dash and drop it about 3" in my ground pounder with the four 15" Xcons
on the Crown A3000gti..... that van was a piece of shit when I was done with it.... a good percentage
of the body spot welds were ripped loose mostly from old 80's stuff

those old Icons really got down
I remember burping a 144db at 10hz with my four 10" at a comp a few years back...
left everyone with that WTF look on their faces

I would run a pair of 12" if they were the original design with the non sandwiched leads , black spiders
...only change I would want would be the higher rolling surround

I had a similar problem once
my four 15" Xcons ripped the brackets for the electric motors on the side rear windows in half..
I had to get the manual latches from a wrecker and tighten up the adjustment almost enough to break the
glass to stop them from flapping on the low notes

my last metering with the original Icons was 143.6db @ 10hz...... WITH FOUR 10"........ on a Crown A3000gti
that set up was so flat the output only varied 3db from 10hz to 35hz.... the flattest response I have EVER seen with ported subs
still KICKING myself in the ass for letting them go
the only thing I would have changed on them would have been the surround... I was ripping them off the cone
I would have went with a higher rolling surround and called it a day.... awesome woofer

I had four 15' Xcons in my last install..... you could feel the bass for almost 3 blocks away and they DESTROYED
my Ford Windstar... those things hit HARD
2 -
I am supprised the Kerf didn't split with the direction of the grain....
it would bend a bit easier with the outside grain going horizontal.. still a nice build though

56 minutes ago, Jay-C76 said:Now for the best SQ sub SSA has ever rolled out hands down.
I totally agree ... LOVED my first run of Icons ... smooth with outstanding low end extension
the newer version left me diss appointed
nice design , I bet that cap really improved things

very well said.............
I am now going to go listen to that abortion of a sub amp that I have installed in my system.... UHGGG!

I do not pay attention to the rule of thumb..... I think it's bullshit........... I use what ever port area gives me good port velocity
I refuse to build an enclosure that creates port noise

I usually do not involve myself in these threads but..... Billy Jack.. go back and read some of your threads and posts....
seriously dude..... hertz vs frequency ???? .. LOL
my autistic son could draw a diagram and explain it to you in detail
if your going to Forest Gump yourself here you will have to expect the flack that comes with it.... and take it dry

I found that the new 12" Icon was very bottom heavy with 2.50cf3 .... almost annoying on some tracks
and that program is a piece of shit....... this is for ONE ICON
good port velocity and prophile ........ I left some extra room for the port corners and a brace
...if you use a double baffle add the thickness to the depth... I'd do more but it's been a LOONG day

3 hours ago, Billy Jack said:I think you have mistaken hertz and frequency for a toilet. Lol
never mind.......
if your system isn't loud and clear enough you won't be able to taste the notes so it doesn't apply

it depends on what hemisphere you are on.......
in the north it swirls to the left..... south it swirls to the right
got something to do with the GOD particle suspended between the notes I think

coil stuck in gap
in Subwoofers / Speakers
Posted
I'v seen it happen.... the coil SLINKY's off the former and makes a rats nest in the gap
just a guess I'd say the sub was over exerted and came back into the gap out of alignment...
I had a Soundstream Rubicon 12" that did that very well... I cut the surround and spider loose
and had to stand on the motor assembly while twisting and pulling on the cone to get it out
