Those are gorgeous. I think they'll be the new best seller you guys will have given their power rating.

Can't wait to find a reason to buy one and play with it!!!

Me too! I have another wild hair up my ass. :lol:

Those look great man, very beefy for what they are.

Let me know when you have one ready to go, I wouldn't mind picking it up and playing with it for enclosure purposes.....and just because I want to. lol

Thought you guys would appreciate photos from the good camera. I had left it at the wood shop. All is right in the world now.

GCONs look very beefy in person.

Just another one I'll have to try out. It just wouldn't be right to not try all of the SSA subs.

We are rating them at 750w RMS I do believe was the thought on them...

You are not sure what the wrms rating is on the driver you are selling?

Looks odd to see a surround that big on a 750wrms? driver. Not concerned about tinsel lead slap?

We are not going to bring to production a driver with tinsel slap issues. Xmax will be less then the Icon, and lead slap is not an issue on the Dcon.

We inched it up a few times, and the Gcon is not for sale yet. Pricing, wattage ratting and production specs are not officially released yet.

The motor design was changed several times, suspension switched twice, coil changed, surround changed, dust cap changed. The drivers you see in the pictures Mark just posted are production ready drivers. Same as with the Zcon, we are doing last minute things and finalizing everything up before listing them up on the SSA Store.

Great to see these photos. Was getting texts at work asking if i had seen them yet and how awesome they look. Of course my longest day ever had to wait another 12 hours to see them myself!

The suspension looks "unique". What's different than your other drivers? Seems like everything is higher from the basket or something, cant quite figure it out. Shallower basket maybe? Or am I just seeing things?

The suspension is similar to the Dcon in that it uses Nomex spiders, but clearly these are different as this is a 3" coil and the Dcon is a 2" coil. The distance between the base of the cone and the spiders is a tiny bit different, but not much. Same basket as the rest of our models.

I can see a new SSA GCON in my future. The DCON may go to semi-retirement!

      Hello! This is my first post here. Crossing my fingers that I'm not breaking any forum rules. I have a 12 inch GCON ordered and the wait is killing me already. I've already purchased an amp and box for this sub and I'd like to have any willing opinions on my choices. 
       
      The amp:
      http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43132_Hifonics-GLX1800.1D.html
       
      The enclosure:
      http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19279_Belva-Sub-Box-1SV12B-Belva.html
       
       
      A few questions:
      How did I do? Will this pound like crazy?  How much impact will my smaller than suggest enclosure have on the sound? Ported good? How should I wire this beast-sub to this amp? (I'm thinking just running it at 650w @ 4ohms to avoid problems with the following...) Will I need to upgrade my factory wiring in my ride? My battery? My alternator? If I did wire it for 1200w @ 2ohms would this be bad for the sub? (considering I don't roll around pounding at super high volume levels, plus the gain would probably be turned down in this scenario)  It's going to be a long wait for this puppy. I'm fairly certain (hopeful) this will be the best system I've ever owned. A couple a months ago my humble 300w amp and single 12" infinity sub was stolen. My wife gave me a 500 budget to replace it with our tax money.. yea.. $490 spent so far, honey!
       
      Thanks for your feedback and thoughts my fellow bass-lovers.
       
       
      Edit: Oh I forgot one more question! My car currently has a 4 gauge power wired to the trunk. I think if I wire it for 4 ohms I'll be safe right? What would happen if I wired it for 2 ohms?

      Have a 12" GCON in a sealed box. It sounds great but I am wanting more and I know the sub will give it to me if I can put it in the right enclosure. I used the ICON enclosure design for the sealed box it is in now, would the ICON ported design work well for the GCON as well? It falls into the optimal range, 2.5f^3 tuned to 33hz. It is a 2 ohm sub with 500 watts powering it in the trunk of a '96 accord. I have about 32" x 20" x 18" to work with. Anyone have any experience or recommendations for a ported box design that will work well with the GCON?

      I'm still waiting for the GCON 10-D2 to actually arrive, but figured I'd take the time to look for a amp to power this beast now. It will be in a sealed box, in a saturn ion 2003. Looking to present a 1ohm load at amplifier, since I'm assuming that power at 4ohms is asking too much for my budget. No HO alt, or big 3 done yet, assuming it won't be needed yet though.
      I was mostly wondering if I'd need to feed it the full 750w, or if I could get by with less, near the 500w level? Just wondering as my budget is a bit tight currently, and I was hoping to grab the amp for under $150.
      Given what I've listed, would any of these amps work well, or are there others I should be considering? All listed are CEA-2006 compliant, so I'm assuming they all do rated.
      1. Concept CC-D1200 (Apparently 750W @ 1ohm stable, manufacturer refurb, so not new)
      2. Massive Audio N2 (800w @ 1ohm)
      3. PPI BK650.1D (650w @ 1ohm)
      4. Hifonics GLX1000.1D (1000w @ 1ohm)
      5. MB Quart ONX1.1000D (1000w @ 1ohm)
      Thanks for taking the time to look, hoping I get some great feedback!
