  1. for my ears that is. I am 32 years old, had dozens of set ups and this thing blows me away. The only thing that I think could have possibly been louder was my first "Big" set up with 6 12s. But this was like 14-15 years ago, and my memory may just be fuzzy. After a 5 minute run around the block at full tilt, I felt slightly nauseous. It's on 1500 watts, ported at 32 hz in the recommended enclosure, firing forward sealed off from the trunk. No pics since my install isn't done. Just wanted to say this thing is violently loud and awesome.

    First off I want to say I'm not trying to start anything just a thought that came to my mind. As a team are you guys more the daily/ground pounder type? I know ssa subs are geared towards sq/groundpounders so I was just wondering if you guys do the sq thing or if you do go for numbers?

    I have had my eyes on ssa's woofers for quite a while and think i'm finally about to purchase my next sub(s). I have always wanted to try out the Icon but have recently seen a video on youtube of a single dcon 10" that was very impressive. I've been looking at the new combo deals with the sundown amps on ssa's store and like the prices. I have never heard an ssa woofer in person and would like some opinions from those with experience and knowledge of their products. Heck, I might even try the 15" icon (sealed); the 12"icon or 10"dcons would be p…

    I'm looking for the most output in the trunk of a Nissan Maxima. On a SAZ-1500D the options are a pair of 12" icons (4 cubes @ 30hz) or a single 15" xcon (4 cubes @30hz). SQ is not a factor because it is not relavant to my goals. I only listen to rap and R&B, so "lows" are not an issue. Just looking for a daily ground pounding system. I hope I've provided enough info. Thx

    Was just wondering if anyone could tell me how accurate SSA is on there estimated delivery times. Say's approx. 21 business days building time. So just over a month then shipped. Obviously it is an estimate but are they typically close? Are they a company that is honest about estimated times and not one of those companies that will tell you one thing knowing it won't happen? Just curious not trying to bash. I know shit happens so delays happen and what not just curious on the accuracy of the estimated delivery times. thnx.

    Newb here. Looking for some input from the more knowledgeable. So i can conclude on amplifier choice. Desiring to put a Gcon 15 sealed in the trunk of my Jetta. I have approximately 2.88cuft to work with. So now my question is; what rms power would be better for daily use 820 or 930? I listen to mainly hip hop and electronic types of music. Occasional rock and jazz. Please let me know if any other info needed and thanks for your help. Mark

    Ok, gettin a little worried about all the warnings I have recieved that the HDC3s don't get low and have a funny hollow sound to them. Just sayin, if more then 3 people tell you that you look like a jackass, you might want to take a look in the mirror, lol. So, I am really liking the Xcon 12 D2. Plays low, sounds great, and is a sexy driver to boot. Question is, do you think a Xcon 12 D2 and a Audiopipe AP18001D would be a good match. I know what alot of people will say about AP, but I know they are solid amps that do rated power. Lookin at a box 2.2^3 net tuned at 32Hz. I listen to mostly rap, but also do some oldies like Al Green and a little rock. I want a low and loud…

    I was playing with winisd, and I have heard the xcon's are great in a sealed box, but when i typed in all the correct figures for a sealed box the freq response wasn't flat at all it started to drop at around 80hz and kept going down, but the ported box was flat down to the tuning freq????

    Well I think Im goin to go with a Zcon 18 for my trailblazer. I have enough room for the 18 but what would be best for the box size and tuning. I know 6 to 8 cubes is optimal with 31-37hz tuning but what have you done or do you think is the best? Also how should I have the sub and port face? I'm pretty sure sub up port back. For amp and electrical, I have a crescendo BC2k and a deka 9a31 in the back. I'm not going for numbers, just straight daily. I listen to mostly rap and that's what I want it to sound best with. My max dimensions are 46w x 32.5d x 20h. thanks in advanced and if you need anymore info please ask.

    Ok I have been beating my head against a wall trying to decide on which driver to run. My initial thought was to run a pair IDMAX 12's. However, I have some reservations on doing pretty much the same thing I have done time and again. So with that in mind I have been pursuing large displacement drivers. I need something that will work in a sealed enclosure, which the xcons seem to be fairly close with an EBP around the level that would work well in this setup. I will be powering this subwoofer with a mmats 2000.1 so it should see around its rms rating, granted box rise ect you won't see close to it, but that's ok. Alright so here are a couple of questions for you is this …

  22. so, i have 2 12" Kicker L7's that i got for a deal. i was going to pair them with a sundown 2500.1. @ 2ohms, they would each see 600rms. (they r 750 rms. so close enough). questions is, if i were to get a single 18" XCON and put it with a sundown 1500.1, so it would be getting 1500rms... would it be louder than the 2 L7's? i know there is no way of saying for sure. but assuming they are both in the optimal enclosures, which would be louder (in you guy's opinions) the Black Friday sale has me thinkin that i might wanna go this route. it/they will be going in my 1994 Toyota Camry wagon so plenty of space. rapid responses would be great as i would have to sell these, and d…

    Since there is no "pre-designed enclosures" tab for the GCON, and "enclosure recommendations" says 2.0-2.5 ft3, I'm wondering if I could use the plan for the ICON (12" optimal ported, 2.5 ft3 @ 30 Hz)? @Aaron Clinton?

  24. Well, the DCON 12 that i won in the giveaway arrived today. I immediately removed it from the package and examined it. Aside from the motor it is a spitting image of the Icon. Glue joints are flawless and just looking over it and holding it you can tell the build quality is top notch. I have pics i will post up when i do the build log I actually spent yesterday rewiring the car and prepping things, so i was eager to put it in a temporary prefab box to start breaking it in. I finally got it in around 8 this evening and started to play around with it. New box build will be coming over the next week, it is currently in 1.25 cubes gross, sealed I can already tell that this t…
