Aaron Clinton 2,372 Posted September 24, 2011 Got in some good listening time on what is going to be the new Icon. Very hearty sub woofer. I will get into more detail later, but I had a big stupid grin for nearly an hour. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssh 924 Posted September 25, 2011 Thanks guys. Got some filler on there,I need to fill in the lower left corner, fill in dimples, and sand a bunch more. Wrapping them in vinyl would be a trick since it goes all the way to the door and running board, thinking about getting some oem volvo paint and matching the pods with the outside: 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will get into more detail later, but I had a big stupid grin for nearly an hour.Sounds great, might snag one later to go along with everything else I'm doing.I was actually surprised when I first heard of the icon being redesigned with the current version not being out for very long. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Clinton 2,372 Posted September 25, 2011 The Icon is ready. Final version of the prototype was tested in depth today, ALL kinds of music, from passive listening to full clip for a long time. Not once was there any sign of thermal limits. This new version keeps that same full, warm and surrounding bass the original Icon was known for, bringing a little more punch and attack with an upgrade of added power handling and thermal limits and a little more abuse tolerance. By the way, the Icon bulked up 4 lbs. REALLY happy with this new version, we have something special in this power segment. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Icon is 4 years old. We move at ID and JL pace, haha. The Icon had minor tweaks to it over the last couple of years, but this is the first overhaul. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Penguin4x4 1,761 Posted September 25, 2011 Getting a ticket can ruin even the best of days, but at least American motorists have the ability to fight moving violations in court. Challenging a ticket at least gives drivers a shot at avoiding or reducing fines and/or points charged to their records.In Massachusetts, however, a new state Supreme Court ruling means drivers have to pay, win or lose. The Newspaper details the case of Ralph Sullivan, who was charged $70 in non-refundable fees even after he successfully fought a lane violation ticket ($20 for appealing the summons to a clerk, then another $50 to get the case in front of a district court judge). Sullivan argued to the Massachusetts Supreme Court that the policy violates the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution, as motorists are saddled with fees that offenders in more serious cases are not required to pay. The court disagreed and ruled against Sullivan.In the ruling, Justice Ralph D. Gants writes, "Where the legislature provides greater process that imposes greater demands on the resources of the District Court, it is rational for the legislature to impose filing fees, waivable where a litigant is indigent, to offset part of the additional cost of these judicial proceedings." 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
