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?

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 …

Hello everybody, as the title says I want to suprise my husband with a pair of xcon 15s, but I do not want him to be dissappointed with my purchase. After I decided that I wanted to get him some subwoofers for his birthday I started asking him, his friends, and his brothers questions about his current setup so that I would not spend my money in vain. After much research I have narrowed it down to the xcons. My husband claims that he likes sound quality woofers that have the ability to get loud, which I take are right up the xcon alley. Currently my husband has dual 15 inch Diamond TDX subwoofers and I constantly hear him say that they are hard to beat and are the best woo…

so i have an extra enclosure laying around and had thoughts of 1 each Icon 12" dvc 4 ohm for it enclosure is 31" wide 14" high 19" deep 1 " MDF 100% all the way around 4 each aeroports , 4", and they are 7" long anyone have thoughts on this match up Thanks Travis

I have a 2003 trailblazer lt, not ext, and I was thinking about runnning 2 18 xcons. Not a lot of people are running 18s in trailblazers because of the limited room in there. Crazycricket12 on smd forum gave me dimensions of his box. It's 21h x 45w x 30d. He's using the torres box calculator. The box has a square port in the middle of the box facing back hatch. The dimensions for the port is 10h x 10w x 12L. It says port area is 100 ft2 with tuning at 32.75hz. The total net volume only excluding bracing is 12.41ft3. Would this work??

First competition will be today. I'm entering with my Ssa icon 15s. Will let you guys know how they turned out. http://www.bassbattles.com/

I know the "is X better than Y" questions are annoying, but I'm looking to upgrade from my current set up and the DCONs seem to fit the bill. They fit the budget of $300 and the RMS ratings line up. Everything else I've looked at has much higher RMS ratings and would be better suited to running one sub off of the amp. For substage, I'm currently running four RE Audio REX 8" subs sealed in .42 cu ft each. They are being driven by an Alpine PDX-1.600 with 600w RMS (birth sheet says 666w, it's the Amp of the Beast). Overall, I have been satisfied with them - if do upgrade, they will go into my Silverado. That being said, I'm looking for more output and an upgrade in o…

@soundsolutionsaudio I mention it as more and more traffic is moving to Instagram and I am often posting a daily story video. So some of the most up to date stuff is going there now due to speed and convenience.

Alright, with all the outstanding reviews, and everything I've heard about quality and customer service, I'm getting a ssa sub. But, which? I've thought about going with the xcon, but I just think that will be too much for me. (Possible?) My last sub was a 15" spl sub, but was ridiculously underpowered. The last correctly powered sub I was running was a 12" kicker l7. I want something louder, and cleaner. Would an icon be enough? Take note, the l7 was in an nasty prefab box, and was in the trunk of a 1991 Chevy Lumina. The ssa will be in the back of a 2000 celica, with the right box. So, icon or xcon? I'll be most likely running it on a 1000w mono block from kicker. But,…

ok so i ordered a DCON 12 single vc 4ohms about a month ago and it was the same as pictured on the website so i ordered another last friday and got it in like an hour ago and when i opened the box it only says SSA while the one i bought a month ago say SSA DCON on the dust cap. So my question is did i get the wrong speaker or did i get stuck with an older/newer model? i really like the one that say dcon on it. but i jus want to make sure that i got a recent model. thanks in advance for your answers!!!

The highly anticipated pre-order of the APM-1 SPL Meter is now open. Quantities are limited, so act fast. $449 shipped in the US48 states. Estimated ship date as of now is March 1st. http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/apm-1-spl-meter.html

wow just wow... i was told that i should wire it up to 4 ohms and let it run for a week to break it in so i did that and i thought it wouldnt sound too good until i wired tto the full 1 ohm but man was i wrong. im running an ed nine.1 and its wired to 4 ohm so the sub is probbly getting about 500-600 watts and it still sonds amazing. can only imagine how the whole 1300 will sound. Couldnt get any vids today but i will tomorrow. 1 question though. should i leave it wired to 4 ohms to brea in or will i be fine wiring it up to 1 ohm and letting it break in that way?

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

hey guys i am going to order a 15" Icon but im not sure what voice coil i should get to get a 2 ohm load on my amp. also when i make my box would it be better if i put the sub on the left side and the port on the other, or should i put the sub in the middle and the port on the side? oh it will be a 3.8 cu box what should i port it too?

Welcome Home Xcon 10's.

im thinking about adding another xcon 12 and another ed nine.1 im just worried about space if i did it i would want to go ported but i dont know how it would fit seeing as how my 1 12inch xcon takes up a good amount of space in its ported box. maybe seal them up? i just dont want to lose output. what do you guys think of 2 xcons sealed up on 2 ed nine.1's? if i do this they will be going in an 07 ford fusion not in the 02 chevy malibu i have my xcon in now. Thanks guys in advance p.s the xcon is by far the best sounding sub i have ever owned. its starting to break in and get lowder and clearer haha adding another is going to be insane hehehe

Im looking for a good amp to power 2 12" SSA ICONS in a 2.35^3 sealed box for a nice daily driver application. Will the Sundown SAZ 1500d v.2 be enough to power those ICONS? I am not overly concerened with extremely high SPL just a nice punchy daily driver with a good mix of SQ.

Just wondering if 780watts from a DLS RA10 (@ 1 ohm) would be enogh power for a single 12" XCON? XCON would be sealed in the recommended size enclosure (1.45 cu.ft) hitting 80's rock tunes and jazz (NO CELINE DION!!! EVER). Thanks

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.

Today i met up with (sound vibration)he is running 2 icon 10 inch subs off a swiss 2000 amp.His amp is only giving each woofer 400 watts,all i can say is the ssa line are the best subwoofers i have ever heard.when my brother got out his car i said "how did you like'his answer was that shit wiggled my ears! And he got some big ass ears to wiggle lol...Big ups to Mark and Denim for such a bad ass woofer..

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…

Is there a specific length or width of the port inside the box for the max quality of the speaker paired with with Sundown 1500D. Any advice would be great, building it for a 2010 Camaro. Cant wait to post pics.

I am about to order a dcon 12 and wont to tray it out in a sealed box how will it sound in 1.3cf with 360 wats going to it my ? is how will it compare to my ported sa-8 in .75cf @32hz with 500 wats going to it I wont beter sq and if the bass is the same I will be happy and when I wont more bass down the rode I can make a ported box for it

I feel really dumb asking this, but are the prices on the Dcon what they always are? I can't remember from when I bought my first Dcon, but they seem to be lower than I remember. If that's the case, then I know what I'll be getting for my birthday (a 12" this time).
