just imagine somewhere in the 150db range at 20hz.............

DO IT!!! I cant even imagine what that sounds like!

I doubt anyone can imagine considering you can't hear 20 htz :P

Lol. I bet it wouldn't matter if one could hear 20 Hz at 150 dB... It'd be so incredible anyway. Ha.

Any idea when the sub will be ready to purchase? If so how much and would 2.4 cubes net be sufficient for the 12? I was wondering when the sub comes out will you guys be offering a combo deal to purchase? Maybe the Sundown 1500D and the X con together...

We do not want to give out a date because there is always delays or something comes up. When we have a concrete date from the build house, Mark or I will give a heads up with the info.

2.4 is plenty for ported for a 12. I have not tested a ported box for it that large yet, but I might try to soon, and I will have box sizing ready when we are close to release. We will probably offer a combo with the Xcon, much like we already do with the Icon.

well Steve Meade got a small chance to listen to this sub today, hopefully he'll chime in ..in the next few days after he gets back home and comments on what he thought of it. Basically the more I listen to it the more I want to get three more and terrorize some tracks with them. They sound incredible to me.

I was curious on what steve meade had to say about this sub? I looked but couldn't find anything.

don't think he's had time to even see this topic on this site. soon enough, you'll see plenty of reviews on it though.

I don't understand the disperity between Fi sales and the Icon or IXL. The average IQ of the users of the M5 or SSA drivers seems to be WAY higher though.

I believe people are afraid to venture into the unknown. JL became huge because of this imo. everytime I ask somebody on the street to name a sub company, the first thing that comes to them is JL.

The Fi brand exploded across the net very fast. And I am sure the SMD factor on YouTube helped a good deal.

At this point, it is still too early to give a date. Would rather wait until the production is ready to go.

first off JL is well known, but for the price point its a rip off!

People are scared to leave the beatin path and venture towards stuff that is either new, or unheard of, and just not out in the eye alot.

I think if gvin the propr reps, and dists SSA could do extremely well, I think here in Sask they woul do well, as there are alot of ppl here with deep pockets, and I dont know the prices of SSA gear, but I am sure alot more competitive then JL! B.C would do good for it aswell, but would need a person properly distributing the producT!

I'm not a fan of the price vs performance vs reliability of JL W7 subs

as far as the SSA subs go.......un real for the $$$ and very reliable

the Icons are available in Canada along with new products when released :D
