This may sound strange, but I was wondering what would be involved with getting more details on the actual dimensions of the ZCON and XCON 15" Basically like the magnet diameter, thickness of it, etc. (an actual technical drawing would be great too!) Reason I ask is I am working on a design for my friend's car and have enough cubic feet but limited height to work with, so I'm trying to see if I can make one of these fit. I want him to be an SSA guy if possible! Thanks in advance!

I compete in MECA and went to my first comp. today with the xcon's. Did my personal best of a 151.1@40hz Also did a 127.6 in park and pound....mic outside the vehicle 6 feet away. These subs not only sound awesome but can get pretty loud too. Did 3 p&p runs back to back (30seconds full tilt) and the subs handled it fine, didn't get warm or smelly setup is 2 15" xcons's on a crescendo 3500

so i picked up a ICON 15 threw it on a JL 500/1 in 3.5 cubes or so tuned around 30 sounds good on those long lows. but she listens to it all.. so i think im going to build a sealed box for it.. i like the sub.. even with very little power on it

I am slowly getting our product photos done for the website. We have a great photographer who took all these, I'm now doing the photoshop work on them. So far we have the XCON 10 and XCON 12. Stay tuned for more. (I'll update thread when complete)

Teaser pic Enjoy.

Would there be a big difference in the output if i go 5ft^3 sealed ,vs ported, so i can fit it in my trunk? Has anyone heard an xcon 18 sealed before and how loud can it get sealed?

While I'm awaiting shipment of the beast I'm working out the design for its future home. It will be going in a center console of a single cab Silverado. At this point it looks as though I can squeeze in 3 cubic ft after all displacements. I'll be running it off a SAZ-2500. I'm wondering what i should tune it to. The suggested range is 29-34. My port area figured up right now will be 40.25in^2. (11.5x3.5).

So, I installed my new dcon 10 in a box that was built by a local audio shop 1.25 cu ft with a slot port that is supposedly tuned to 32.5 hz. I have this enclosure rear firing in my 2010 fusion with 300 watts crossed over at 80 hz. The main thing I have noticed is that the bass is very loud around 40-45 hz with not much in the 60-80 hz range. I'm wondering if this is just due to in car cabin gain and something I am going to have to eq out or if its possible that the box is tuned wrong? Would going with a lower tune, like 29 or 30 hz help with smoothing the upper frequencies? Just trying to get the best bass I can out of the system.

any body out there got a blown 12" icon willing to sell for $80 send me a pm

So I just recieved my 2 new Dcon 10's today and upon installing them, I noticed a strange noise that I could best describe as a rattling(as if someone was holding their finger slightly against the sub). I can't seem to isolate which sub it is coming from but when I take a sub out, the rattling stops, same when I take the other out, yet when I turn one around and reverse phase, it starts back up.... I seems to start as soon as any back pressure is applied to the sub. The subs haven't broken in but the volume is low when this is occuring. I'm kinda freakin out since I already had to wait a month before the subs even came and now I'm at a loss and could use some help. Sorry …

Where and how much can i get a recone for an ICON 12" dual 2 vc. Thanks Backyardbass97

Will the Icon 15 be offered in D2's again?? thx

Just got these up on the shop finally. 3 Left. We can order more. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/SSA-BANNER-6ft-x-3-ft.html

I'm looking at getting an AQ2200, now I don't think it is too much for the sub when it's broken in, but what about breaking it in? Just keep it low for a while? Thanks

I know the DCON's are rated at 300 RMS, what is the maximum RMS that I can run to them daily?

SSA Dcon 15" Due to a large number of PM's and emails over time, with some design tweaks to the existing design, the Dcon line is able to grow. Please excuse the grainy cell phone picture, as my camera is packed for my move this weekend and I was excited to post up the news asap. Introducing the very first Dcon 15. No, we don't need to send it out for free demo's, because I know people will ask. I will post specs once we are set and ready to go with these to production. Box designs will follow, it probably wont be as low Qts as the 10" and 12" model are I believe, lending to a more average size box, compared to the smaller then average size boxes for the 10" and 1…

After much debating, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a dcon 10 d4. Currently building a 1.25 cu ft box tuned to 32 hz. I am excited, but also a little nervous buying a speaker I have never heard. However, all the hype surrounding this woofer has convinced me to give it a try. I'm just hoping to get good clean sq with a little output from this speaker. It will be running off 300 watts from a JL XD 500/3 in a ford fusion.

is there a 10" xcon??? or is it a mistake

I'm new to this forum and after much research I'm 99% sure that I am going to go with a dcon 12 for my ford fusion build. My goal is sq with as little room taken in the trunk as possible. The sub will be running off the 300 watts of a jl 500/3. The only thing really holding me back is the box design. I want to go with a sloped box that follows the contours of the seat to keep the enclosure tucked under the rear deck/cross beam area. Nomore than 7 inches t the top and 12ish at the bottom spanning the length of the trunk area. Now, I keep reading that this sub really wants to be put in a ported enclosure with a low tune, but I'm not sure if that can be achieved with my s…

I'm just going to assume this is my fault. But here's the situation. Was riding the other day while at my normal bumping level and smelled something funny. Turned system off and got the sub out today and saw this. I've never really blown a sub before so I don't know how this happened. Was it from too much power? Clipping? Any help would be appreciated. Assuming I will need to get a recone. Will be contacting ssa here soon. All gear is in my sig. No bass boost of any kind was used and everything had been working great for 6 months. I do have a second xcon that is perfectly fine. Is it odd that only one went out?

Since the ZCON is soon to be released, thought i'd share some photos I took today (with my cell phone!) of the 15" Prototype more to follow as I edit them...

So, I'm ducking impatient. Got the box from the local installer today.... very happy and checked it for leaks .....found zero. Installed the subwoofer. Made my own terminals. Sort of stole an idea someone was using home depot terminals but went with nicer looking copper ones... brass bolts and some really nice 8 gauge wires... so far the XCON is amazing!! Dialed ba ck in my gain as well cuz it was too strong or authoritative I'd say. Will post some pics of the install soon....

Any updates on the xcon's? Paid for 2 and recieved 1....keep getting told 2-3 weeks on the 2nd Just wondering because my team is hosting a comp on the 18th and will need something by than.....gonna hate to do it but might have to go with something else Thanks

Since we are coming down the home stretch on the Zcon getting ready for normal production and all testing is complete, just as promised we can release specs. We never release anything until we are dead set on the information. Pricing will be posted soon. Enclosure specs will follow shortly also, they will lean a little smaller then the Xcon as a point of reference right now. 12" D1 / D2 FS: 37.7 / 36.8 DCR: .7/coil / 1.4/coil QMS: 6.01 / 6.12 QES: 0.24 / 0.24 QTS: 0.26 / 0.26 MMS: 212 / 222 SD: 481 / 481 VAS: 24.4 / 24.4 SPL: 90.7 / 90.3 BL: 17.74 / 25.2 XMAX: 29 / …
