Lookin for a low powered, low budget setup for HT usage. So, i came and looked at the Dcons, they look like what i want. I was thinkin about gettin a couple of these Dcon 12s and runnin a small powered amp to them tuned around 17hz. 9cuft NET was the ideal range i was thinking. You got any recommendations on if I should go larger if i can or what? What would you think about port area? Even though I will be using less than 500w for a pair, the xtreme low tuning may still require large port area? Yes\no? I can use up to 100sqin if necessary but that sounds too large, in my opinion.

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???

Thank you to ANT for purchasing and donating the driver for test! This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1022x680. My first impression upon receiving this sub was that finally, someone came out with a reasonably sized design. Unremarkable in appearance compared to the latest drivers, nonetheless all the hallmarks of a high end driver are present. Large progressive roll spider, large 4 layer voice coil, aluminum former, cast aluminum basket, venting under the spider, and a massive pole vent in the rear. A nice added touch is the tinsel leads appear to be covered in a non-conductive braiding. May I also add, thi…

Do you think its worth upgrading from 2 Icons to 2 Xcons with only 1500 watts?

So I'm going to running the new XCON 15' D2 Subwoofer in a custom spare tire enclousure and I'm torn on SEALED OR PORTED@35hz? The car's goal is daily driver ""SQL"". SUNDOWN SAZ-1500D is the amp with MORE than enough upgraded electrical to support it.

Ive spent all day trying to figure out how to calculate ports and design a box that would fit in my truck like i want it, now im wondering is it even worth it? In yalls opinion what would sound better for a 10" dcon, a small ported box or the optimum sealed. Either box would be sitting in the center of the backseat with the sub firing up in a Crew Cab Colorado. Amp would give 420+ RMS at 2 Ohms or 210+ RMS at 4 Ohms. Just dreaming atm but thats half the fun. Thanks in advance for all the help

...the side of the vehicle looks like a water fall as it flexes ....you swear to god there is enough body flex to cause metal fatigue and you think your dash is going to fall off ....the rear veiw mirror busts off and shatteres when it bounced on the emergency brake lever ....the electric automatic latches on the rear windows brake trying to hold the windows shut and have to be replaced with manual ones .....the over head center console falls off and hits you in the head ...the Mayor of Salmon Arm BC politley asked you to turn it the fawwwk down when you drive by his house ...the local audio shop is getting complaints about the " white van" ...LMAO ....your system can be …

so looking at specs and what little I know , I will loose a bit in Xmax but confused on the rest and what they actually do. Also save me $100 a sub. Just looking for opinion or any information you can give me thanks.

Any idea when the DCON 8" woofers will be available. Looking to sell my IDQ12 and pick up four 8's instead

Hi guys I was wondering if the ssa gcon series were comparable to sundown sa line I know I've seen people putting double the rated power to the sundowns just wondering if the ssa's could handle this abuse or not?

Here are some other pictures I took before my card reader broke. Triple slug RL-p 12 / SSA Prototype / Mach5 MAW-12

Has anyone heard the dcons?I was looking to do a little setup in my girls car and i was wondering if 3 12' dcons would get loud on 1000 watt rms?

I'm trying to see if I can fit a 12" XCON in my trunk. Are these small, medium, or large enclosure subs? I know the Icon's are meant for relatively small enclosures. Power would be 1200rms if that helps any. Would like ported if it can fit. Have 2-3 cubes to work with.

This is going to be for a 12" dCON and I want to put it in its recommended sealed enclosure which is 1.2 cu ft. Just want you guys to double check on my specs for the box build, making sure the volume is right and all. Also do I need to use some of that box fill? If so how much Thanks guys, -Mike

will one of the predesigned encloseures for icon 12 work for gcons and do u think a sax 1200d would be good on 2 gcon 12s

Okay as all of you may or may not know I am home on leave from the Middle East. I am doing this review in my spare time (which has not been much due to some family issues). Also my digital camera was not around till after the install as my old one needed service and my new one had yet to be purchased. (AKA no pics but the 2 vids at the end.) All things considered we hace had decent grounds for this review so here we go!!!!! Equipment HU: Pioneer AVIC-N2 Comps: Kicker 6.5" componants (tweets on glass mids in doors) Amps: One 100.4 Sundown Audio amp (comps) and 1500-SAZ also by Sundown audio. Subs: 4 SSA iCON 10" subwoofers Dual 2 coils. Wiring: 1 AWG Rockford Fosgate from …

Just wondering what you other guys with x-cons are metering. Im getting a 148 at the headrest and a flat 150 on the windshield. Im really wanting more now but im not sure what to do. any suggestions?

How much port area would you reccomend for a 12" zcon in 3 cubes @ 30hz? Will be powered by a saz2500d.

Searched but didn't really find much. So yea title says it all, whats the mounting depth on the X-con 18's/ Would also like to know how deep the basket is before it tapers off to the motor. Thanks in advance!!

I had my sub and box out of my car because I was moving and didn't want to damage it. It was just sitting on a table in my house, and I went to put it back in my car, and the cone is dented. I have no idea whether someone in my house pushed on it or how it happened. Regardless, will this have a impact on how the sub works? I can take a picture later and post it, its about a 3 inch diameter dent on a 10" icon. Also, is there anyway to pop it back out?

Thinkin about pre ordering the new sundown sae 1200 and doing a single 12 sub i know icon are rated at 1000wts and xcon at 1750. jacob has stated these new amps are pushing 1500, should i go icon and turn down gains or go xcon

I tried using the SSA gallery, but had a few issues, so photobucket links. I'll be building a few boxes soon, at least one sealed and a couple test ported boxes for my 96 Volvo 850 GLT (trunk). This 12" xcon d2 will be replacing my current Infinity Kappa Perfect 12vq's, and powered off a Sundown SAZ-1500d. I have a 50ft spool of 1/0 welding wire in my room, a sax100.4 on the way from db-r, and will be ordering the mli65's from the ssa store along with a battery or two. Now I just need to find some decent tweeters, and get to the box building. Found this on my porch the other day: Awesome packing, very secure: Money shots: Various xcon pics on photobucket

Hello. I have been looking at the Icon and it seems very impressive. I usually use SQ based sub woofers (alumapro, dayton, zapco, idq) and I have been looking for something with a little more powerful low end while retaining tonality and be under 7" inches deep. The icon looks like the best bang for buck. My favorite sub was an audiomobile mass 12 and Im trying to get a sub that had nice low end like that one to to me but I would like to try a new sub as well so I dont want a tc-9. The box is between 1 -1.2 cuft sealed and will be filled. I purchased a rockford t5001bd for this upgrade and it produces 725 watts at 2 ohms and 1014 at 1 ohm. I would prefer to keep 2 ohm l…
