The build house is caught up and all Dcon's are shipping out this evening or first thing tomorrow morning. Those who are interested, send me a PM, I am offering a $10 SSA Store credit towards a future purchase as a thank you for holding on a little extra time for the delay. The Icon's are still on the way, but there are a couple more parts that are held up before production can start and a final prototype has to be tested to make sure everything with this new version of the Icon is all buttoned up and ready to roll before production. There are around 6 or so Xcon's in stock. After those, there is still a wait on steel supplies for them, ditto on the Zcon's.

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

I managed to crack the dustcap on beloved OG blue cone Icon 10. I won't get into how I did it but it really has me pissed. I went and got a carbon fiber cap from Fix My speaker. My question....What harm would there be in just glueing the cf cap right over the original? I haven't weighed the cf cap but it feels like it weighs next to nothing. Would it throw off my parameters a lot?

so I got my 15" Xcons installed and enough play time for a bit of break in.. first thing I gotta say is they are really tight and accurate.. I was expecting a bit of boomy ness (like most 15's) but I was supprized with almost no note over lap and really clean sounding speed drums that IMO are less muddy than the 10" Icons were..I found a new appreciation with all my favorite metal (Judas Preist,Motley Crue,Megadeath exc...) the tight bass guitar riffs and kick drums slip in and out flawlessly regardless of volume level and the note seperation is distinctive by tone...a very musical characteristic the power handling is excellent also.....I was able to shread every woofer I…

I have been waiting on posting this until I can hook up with my brother and use his digicam to try and get a nice video, but that does not look like it is going to happen this week, so here goes............ I will update with a video when I can. First off: I want to say thank you to everyone at SSA for answering all my questions and for the good advice. I have read a ton and have learned a lot. Still have a long way to go, but I am happy to be a member of an adult car audio forum with intelligent people giving good advice. A big thank you to Mark and the moderators. Keep up the good work guys. What I have: I have them in a kerf ported box 7cf tuned to about 33-34 built f…

Just put up a rides section on the SSA ICON pages, it's lookn great, includes system info, lots of pics and video, check it out. RIDES SECTION There's only two cars up there now, but of course this will grow the more ICONs we get out there

Can someone confirm the 12.5"outside diameter and is there anyone who knows how deep i need to route it for a flush mount of the basket? Thanks in advance.

Here a lot of photos taken over the course of three days @ SBN 2012. Hope you enjoy.

Just ran across these on my Hard Drive. 2010 right here. Wow what a throw back!

I have room for either one. Amp is an ED Nine.1 (1200 @ 1 ohm). My music preference is rap and I like deep bass and SPL. I'm sure either setup will satisfy my SQ requirements. Car is a 2005 Mustang. Very small trunk. Thank you

I just ordered a pair of GCON 12" D4 to be powered by a couple of 800W RMS amps. While waiting, I figured I'd build a box to fit in my trunk. After deciding I wanted to go with a sealed box to save room on space and measuring the insides of my trunk, I sat down with google sketchup and this is what I came up with. It will be cut from a sheet of 48"x96"x3/4" MDF, wood glued, and then wrapped in trunk-matching carpet. Let me know what you think!

I was playing with winisd, and I have heard the xcon's are great in a sealed box, but when i typed in all the correct figures for a sealed box the freq response wasn't flat at all it started to drop at around 80hz and kept going down, but the ported box was flat down to the tuning freq????

My last setup I had was 4 vvx 15s on a single sk1500 subs foward port up tuned to 35hz in my 2011 Chevy silverado extended cab. The box was 16 cubes gross and was above the window line. (new box needs to be under window line if you wondering why I am shrinking the box) Now that you have a little back ground info I now have a single cresendo bc3500 and I'm planing to rebuild I have 20h x 20d x 55l which is around 10.5cubes gross and want a daily ground pounder that can move some air. I'm currently looking at the xcon 15s d1 my questions and concerns are will I lose a lot of output going from 4 15s to 2? I am over doubling power which should help. Also I will only have abo…

Is that the real estimate in your store? not sure. just double checking. 18'' xcon to 96816. thanks

I was looking through ssa products and none of them mention a shorting ring in the description. Do any of the ssa subwoofers use a shorting ring?

I documented the complete build from start to finish for this enclosure since folks wanted to see it, all 65 pictures worth. The only pic's I didn't take were of the enclosure with carpet, the camera batteries crapped out. http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm184/m...verado%20build/ You'll have to view the album start from the last page backwards, it just happened to upload the pics in that order.

I'm looking at purchasing either an Xcon or a Zcon. The Xcon is listed as having an aluminum shorting ring in the motor. My question is whether the Zcon does or not? I am assuming that it does not have an inductance demodulation circuit in the motor since it is not listed under the features. Can anyone confirm this please? Thanks.

Ok, decided to throw this 10D2 in my truck to demo at a show tomorrow. Wanted to go with a really flat response, so had Fallen from ROE throw together a box design in a pinch tuned @ 31hz. 24.75in^2 or port. Volume after displacement it's 1.25ft^3. This is the first time i've really played with the ICON in this respect. Absolutley love it.

I just picked up a single DCON 10" S4 and can't wait to get it installed. It will be going into a custom made sealed fiberglass box that is built into the side of my Cayenne. The box, after displacement, is .93 cu ft. The box used to house a single L7 and did fairly well. I am not opposed to running the DCON sealed but I am thinking of possibly porting the box for a bit different sound. I have already re-faced the box for the DCON. My question to the experts is, would it be worth it to port the box even though it would be smaller than recommended? A couple of additional things... I can increase the box by adding a 1-ended sealed piece of 4" PVC pipe that would effectively…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IAUsOmpyhI Is this true? Will the Xcon handle 3K?

So I was doing some research and need some help. I plan to use a box that has the sub facing up and needed to know how tall the box has to be to fit a SSA XCON 18. Can't find info on what the length of the sub is. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I started some spring cleaning today and noticed the mids on my old Baby Advent IIs had blown out the surrounds, so I figured I'd throw the Evil 6.5s in their place and have some fun. Now, these are in a simple bass reflex at 9.1L. There's a simple 1st order crossover running up to 6K, so the woofer is wide open down low and starts rolling 6dB at 6K. It's a really simple design. These are being powered by an old Pioneer Elite receiver rated at 40WPC at 6 ohms. Standing DCR on them was 7.12, so we're in business. Now, I didn't expect much as this was just a WTF experiment. I fired them up and was immediately blown away with the midrange. It's generic, …

What is the smallest ported enclosure you could play the Xcon 18 in at 2500 watts while maintaining optimal performance?

We are getting closer and closer to the new GCON 750W RMS Series Driver. We have been referring to this driver up until now as the FCON as we were unsure what to call it officially. We are going with GCON, becuase it's hits the "spot". Here is a sneak peak at the motor. Sorry for the crappy cell phone shot, but this is all we are releasing at this time. Please don't ask for more, they will come when we can get the professional photos done.
