ncacoates 104 Posted April 8, 2009 I vote X-cons for daily groundpounder. If you want more of an spl setup id say DPs 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet he'll have a great comparison ready.lol i heard through the great bine that the icon would be a better comparison to the gtis but then again what do i know.. hahahaI've asked him about the GTi's vs the Icons and this is what he said.the JBL Wgti subs are probably the most accurate musical woofer on the market(differential drive design is really hard to beet for tonal accuracey)I really like the sound of them but they are not re cone able and they are easy to fryif you are running alot of power..I have filled the car up with smoke several timeswith these subs...smells like burning bamboo the Icons are one of the best sounding conventional subs I have heard..they are verystrong on the low end and they are awsome at handling over the rated RMSI am un able to smoke the coils in a pair of 10" with a Crown A3000gtiand I can shread every other woofer on your thread with this ampif you are not volume happy and just want accurate sound you can not beet the GTIbut if you like to bag the subs or like really strong deep sounding bass I would go withthe ICON.... I have four W10gti subs sitting right now and I am installing 4 of the 10" Icons insteadI really like the easy reconing and they sound very good 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ia2 21 Posted April 14, 2009 if you looking for groundpounder xcon is way for sure, ia is more a spl , and the xcon are more LOUD SOUND QUALITY sub perfect for a groundpounder system The IA DP is not purely for SPL though................actually Steve Cook is running 2 - 18" Death Penalty's in his SQ Avalanche. But it also does 155+db when cranked on lolEither sub would be a great choice I'm sure, just wanted to clear the air on the SPL subject 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRP 42 Posted April 29, 2009 I am biased to the XCON as i have an ICON and have never heard the DP, but i love marks 18's!!! But from what i have seen and read the should be pretty fairly matched. But i will always favor SSA. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark LaFountain 1,054 Posted May 12, 2009 wow, I guess the XCON is winning. Just buy one allready, you won't be sad, I promise 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quentin Jarrell 671 Posted May 12, 2009 flip a coin same differenc either way. Just buy the one you think looks prettier 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundownz 197 Posted May 12, 2009 If you plan to put it on the Meter - DP. Quite a bit higher BL^2 / RE and designed for this type of thing.If you do not plan to be on the meter then both are still excellent choices. I heard the Xcons and they sound good in a nice daily box - smooth response. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glasjaw 1 Posted May 12, 2009 After getting my icon i cant turn away from ssa. Sounds awesome and pounds so the Xcon has to be the beez knees. Cant wait to finish saving up for one..or two... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solid_State13 1 Posted May 12, 2009 you will probably be really pleased with either. no one really has anything bad to say about any driver from either company 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark LaFountain 1,054 Posted May 20, 2009 Ok real simple. Wall in a first gen two door Blazer. 2x18"subs. I will buy the apms accordingly and have plenty o' space for a build. Back seat is out and will be staying out. Now would you go with the DP 18's or the new xcon 18's? I'm torn. Don't want a SPL only machine. Just a groundpounder.have you made a decision on this yet? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
