(ICON 15'S) 149.8db @ Prescott

Recommended Posts

Well, Acidburn, Beatdominator, Johnecon2000, and I went up to Prescott AZ today for a local meet and greet, and they had a mic up there so I thought, what the hell, was wondering what my ICON 15's would do with just 1500 watts to them would do.

Conditions:

- Amps had been on all day and where very very hot to the touch

- Subs have been beat'n on all day long showing people and giving demos, coils where allready heated up when this score was taken.

- Enclosure tuned to 35hz for street beat, not a good recipe for SPL, but never the lesss, keep that in mind.

All in all this set up could easially break the 150db mark if everything was cooled down and had a fresh burp.

THe ICON's did a 149.8 (please keep in mind this is only 1500 watts)

We won the best looking most creative trophie of all time (Troy_audio's creation, lol)

All in all, SSA is very pleased with this subs ability to be a great SQ sub, but also be able to handle some abuse. Was a good turn out up there in prescott and everyone seemed to have a good time, lots of pic's where taken by the other guys and hopefully they'll post em up here in this thread.

Tom wonders why Evan still has nothing installed

Evan has fuzzy terminals (which ultimately led to the battery dying later that day)

We like to call this "the moment"
