    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.

    Hi guys, After lots of research I decided I'd really like to get the Icon 12. I'm most likely putting this in a prefabbed box so I need to make sure it will fit. Does anybody have the magnet diameter for this sub? I see the mounting depth but not the magnet diameter listed on the product page. Thanks!

    Forgive me if this is a redundant question but I am curious what is the minimum mounting depth I can get away with for an ICON 12" sub? I know the optimal sealed is 1.35 cu ft and the minimum depth is 6.5". Provided I can get my cu in length what is the minimum depth I can have for my enclosure? Can it be 6.5" in depth? Cheers K

    When I play my Icon moderately loud I get a smell that almost smells like paint and when I touch the Icon it's very warm. I like the way my sounds alot however I just find that it heats up too easily. I'm beginning to think the Icon isn't what I'm looking for in a sub if it can't take much abuse. I'm not knocking it in any way, it's a great sounding sub and can get decently loud. I just find the voicecoils get stressed too easily. Everything in my car is set up properly so I know it's not the install. Could it be just be because it's hot outside? I mean I had a pair of JL Audio W3D4 12s sealed and a pair of Orion P12s sealed and would play it as loud as I wanted an…

    I know I should have gotten an ICON 12 but I got the ICON 15 from W140 on here. Great seller and smooth transaction! He's going to get me in trouble with the wife since he's sold me my amp as well. Anyways, I'm a bit restricted on space since I need to fit a stroller in my trunk. I've measured my max dimensions for a sealed box and it comes to a net volume of 2 ft^3 after driver displacement. If I use 2 lbs of polyfill, will I still receive decent output and freq range? Sub is being powered by a Soundqubed 1200.1 running at 1 ohm.

    I've heard that the SSA ICON 15 and Fi Q15 are very similar in SQ and output. I want to purchase either of the two subs but am not sure which to choose. I want a sub that has very deep, low bass, and gets loud with good SQ. Does anyone know if any of the two is better than the other???

    I've been curious about the Xcons for a while now. How much louder are they than the Icons? Would an Xcon 12 in a 2 -3 cube ported tuned to 33hz powered by a Sundown 1500D be louder than an Icon 15 ported in about 4.5 cubes tuned to 33hz powered by a Sundown 1000 watt amp?

  12. I have just received my 15" Icon sub, and I can have a sealed free enclosure (about 4 cu ft). I listen mostly to reggae and rap, What should I do? Keep it sealed, or add a round port to it ? My amplifier is a JL Audio A1800 and will give the sub 650w rms @ 4 ohms. I have Focal 165KP for front speakers on a big Boston GT42 amp. 0 Ga power wiring... Still to come:big 3 And.......my car is a Toyota Auris(new Corolla hatchback). That's'it ! Thank you for your advices!

    Was having a box built by iamamp3pimp for my AA Chaos 15D2 to run off my AP15001D, but had some cash flow issues and had to sell the sub. Box is halfway built. Will be 2.8^3 tuned to 35Hz with a kerf port. It is a copy of the design that was used for my last Chaos 15" with the tunning bumped up from 30 to 35Hz. Here is a pick of the first box, only difference is port tunning and the new box will be raw birch that will be stained Cherrywood in the future. You guys think the Icon will be good in this box off 1500 rms? On a side note, Mark, would it cost xtra to get the full Xcon dustcover ike LoudGeo has on his Icons in the Punisher?

    Would a pair tuned to 30hz give me a good amount of low end? Should I tune lower? Subs are going in the trunk of a 04 Ford Crown Victoria, port and subs rear firing. Would a 1500d running at .5 ohm be too much power for them or just right? Already have the amp, just took a notice to these subs recently and all the positive feedback on them. Any help or nudge in the right direction is greatly apperciated, thanks.

    I will be making a order in the near future and trying to figure which is my best bet. This will be for 2 12in ICONS in a 3-3.5cu sealed setup. I will go copper coil but also wondering should I get the dual 1ohm or dual 2ohm. Also is a SAZ-1000 enough or should I go SAZ-1500. I would like to stay with one amp to power both subs. Thanks

    Please help me properly invest my Christmas money. I am considering an Icon 12/d1 to pair with my RF 1000bdcp amp. It is important to note that I am an old school basshead who listens to Techmaster, Bass Patrol, Dynamix II, etc. The ability to play 20-25 Hz notes is a MUST. I've got room for about 2.5 cubes in my xB and lean toward a sealed box for the best mega deep notes. Any advice is appreciated!

    I have a 1200d coming and I need just 1 12, which will be going under the back seat of my silverado crew cab. So depth is limited to 7" max Thats figuring in the MDF and leaving another .5" from bottom of driver to the board. Im hoping I can go ported but if not then itll be sealed. Do you guys recommend going with the ICON or the BL with all upgrades The 1200d is supposed to do almost 1500w rms at 1ohm so Id like to take advantage of all that power

Having a box built by Argent for these ICON's and going to be doing some abusing in the absence of the XCONs. Here's what we have so far.... 2 of these are mine, 2 are for Ernie's Civic.
