LIKE THE TITLE SAYS

We have an update. The news is that the Carbon Fiber dust caps that were originally planned for the Xcon have been delayed. But we are going to offer dust cap options. The logo will be the same regardless of option choice. By doing this we are able to keep the standard cost of the Xcon down just under the $400 mark. The XCON will have option of three dust caps: 1.) Inverted Cap (concave mica reinforced polypropylene) 2.) SSA Convex Cap (Same as Dcon and Icon) 3.) Carbon Fiber Cap (Offered at a later date) + $17 The standard Xcon dust cap offered is the inverted option which we feel with give a very clean look.

i need to speak with an associate with SSA. i installed my XCONs yesterday and there is a problem with the ohms being too low. i bought 2 dual 1 ohms and its reading .02 on the multi meter. as soon as i put music to them the amp went into protection mode. does anyone have a number to call so i can resolve this quickly. i dont have much patience to wait for emails back and forth. i just wont to send them back so they can correct my problem. thank you

What series SSA sub would suit me best? I was looking @ FI BLs or Qs but lost instress because the guys on the Fi forum are to Baised. All i asked for is a sub that could get loud and sound good. They say you can't have Both. WTF! the reply is BLs get loud but lack lowend and SQ the Qs sound great has lowend but lack output. Please! Please help me decide , i don't want to Compromise SQ over Output. For the record i have power to spare and space to work with and i'm lookin @ 18s btw. All i hear is Get BLs NO get the Qs what type of music, what amp, what vehicle, ported or sealed. yada yada yada.

so I just hooked up my xcon today to a Rockford fosgate punch 1000x1bd doing 1400 watts rms (stock electrical for now, so I know I'm not seeing all that power) .. wow this thing sounds awesome I am only giving it .5 of airspace sealed it being a 10 inch sub. before I had a kicker cvr and even when I play the same songs I hear frequencies in songs that the cvr didn't even play. my xcon does get warm but don't blame it cause the box is small..... whoever builds these subs , please keep up the good work.

Hmm seems to me that SSA is kind of getting shady with no responces within this whole week. I have emailed Mark and went through the website and emailed. Still no responce. All I want to know is whats the status of my reconed sub.

so thanks to all the guys at ssa. i love my gcon in my van really pushes the air i love it so much i decided to order a twin! haha. but ill be having 2 gcons in there. cant wait to see what kinda damage we can do! thanks again everyone!

This weeked I competed in my first two seriosu competitions, everyone was super impressed with the whole setup. I was browsing the MWSPL site and found this written by Steve the guy who runs things at MWSPL. Oh Yeah Team Sound Solutions Audio!

Getting my new ICON here soon and was just wondering which route I should go for hooking it up. I have an Audioque 1200d amp, so its 1200w @ 1ohm and 870w @ 2ohm. I was planning on giving the sub the 1200w, but I'm wondering if I should go the 870w route. More or less, I'll be unpacking the sub, installing it, and then hitting the road for a long road trip... so its going to see a lot of use right out of the box. Would it still be ok to go with the 1200w, or is the 870w a safer route? Thanks!

Whats the recommended enclosure size for the 15" sealed AND ported? thanks.

I would like to know if it would be a waste to get an ICON and run it in a sealed box with only 800wrms ?

i know im gonna get shit for this question but you cant yell at me for just double checkin.... What are the possible ohms I can wire the Dcon D4 and Dcon S4 down too? Im not familiar with dual 4 ohm voice coils (yes i searched, wasnt workin for me)

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 …

I finally took the time out to measure my trunk for a box for my brand new still in the box 2 x 12" Dcon d4 subwoofers. This is going in a 1983 Cutlass Supreme. Height: 14.75" Width: 38" Depth: 21 &1/2". I have no idea how those measurements would convert into cubic feet for the subs. Will a box built to these specs work with these subs? Amp is a Rockford Fosgate 1051s rated at 1100 watts bridged. I jumped the gun and ordered subs before measuring. I realize the trunk is wide but not tall, so box height would be limited, which makes for a somewhat smaller box. Probably should have gone with 10"s. But I'll try to work with what I got. I know in terms of sou…

I have been working on some killer new full page Ads for an upcoming Deep Hitters issue. Here is the first Team SSA ad.

Here are the T/S Parameters we promised: ICON 10" SUBWOOFER DUAL 2 OHM COILS Re 1.5 per coil (specs measure in series 3.0) Fs 30.7 Qms 5.60 Qes .41 Qts .38 Mms 190 g Sd 310 cm^2 Vas 19.1 l Bl 16.4 Spl 83.1 1W/1m Xmax 20.5mm Wattage: 1000RMS Displacement: 0.12cuft ----------------------------- ICON 12" SUBWOOFER DUAL 2 OHM COILS Re 1.5 per coil (specs measure in series 3.0) Fs 29.9 Qms 5.87 Qes .45 Qts .42 Mms 212 g Sd 480 cm^2 Vas 43.7 l Bl 16.4 Spl 86.0 1W/1m Xmax 20.5mm Wattage: 1000RMS Displacement: 0.16cuft ---------------------------- ICON 15" SUBWOOFER DUAL 2 OHM COILS Re 1.5 per coil (specs measure in series 3.0) Fs 26.4 Qms…

Which would be louder and sound better ultimately? 8 icon 15s or 4 XCON 18s? I know the 15s have more cone area, but the 18S are more efficient, handle more power, and have more excursion. Would run 4 15s off of a 3500d or 2 of the 18s off the same amp.

HAHA first post! Now lets see whats up! What is Sound Solution Audio?

What's the Re of the different coil configs on the ICONs? Also, when should they be back in stock?

What does " Awaiting Fulfillment" mean in the order status page? and what other status's are there and what do they mean?

Alright so I just got everything I need for my install, for the most part. Equipment as follows... Alpine 7897 FantomFace HU SSA Icon 10 d2 Sundown SAE-1200D Soundstream 5.25 Edge Comps Alpine MRP-F250 1/0 + all other wires It is going in a Buick LeSabre, so box size is not a problem and I am aware that the optimal box size is 1.35 ft^3 tuned at 27-33 hz. This is just a daily driver and I just wanted a good sounding system with the potential to get loud so I think what i have is pretty well suited for my expectations. I listen to mostly rap/hip hop, and occasionally classic rock and alternative type music, but rap for the majority. Should I stick to 1.35 cu ft or does an…

I have an Icon 10" from 2009. Can anyone tell me what gen model this is and the rated RMS? Also are the enclosure recommendations on the website for the current icon about the same? Thanks in advance.
