2012 Icon testing

Recommended Posts

Today I wrapped up our testing on the final prototype Icon. We are going to production very shortly now. The long story short, the Icon is ready. It was really 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. More pix and videos will follow soon as these were quick shots from today with the phone.

The 12" T/S are final, but we are going to hold off on posting specs until we have the other sizes done and all together. They will change from the out going Icon, but not drastically.

Haha, we don't have the mark up to have the added non-performance bling bling. ;)

The BL does not have as much of a bump, and the BL has larger diameter slugs.

Very nice!

Can I trade in my 10" DCON in for a new 10" ICON .... :P

Seriously I think it's time for an upgrade in 2012 for my Civic.

How's the final price looking compared to the current Icon? Not looking for an exact price, but more of a small increase or whatever it might be.

If we change, Mark and I will do our best to keep the price change as small as we can. We did not change the price over the years, even though the Icon became a little more expensive to build. :)
