Can they perform in 1.75CF3 after displacement? What is the displacement? Can a box that is .75" MDF hold 7000W? Would it be wise to put a .75" piece between 4 of these? How much port area is needed? I can do 10, 11, 12" aeroports, or two (if theres a .75 bracing between 4) 8", etc. How much port area is needed for 1.75cf3 after displacements? I was going to use 4 sealed Eclipse SW8200's with a 3000.1, E Tech says NO ported, but I could put 1 huge aeroport through the back seat @ 47hz for SPL and insert a piece of cylindrical styrofoam for 30hz again, subs up, port into the cabin hitting the front seat divider. It would be badass if I did that but not if I could get Xcon…

What are the sealed and ported enclosure specs on the xcon 18's?

the car the box design from sound=vibration thanks but it was too big trimmed down about 2inches and added it to the back making bigger cutouts to fit lanzar optidrive mids w/ tweets box couldnt fit with my altima mat! amp mounted w/ battery holder all knukonceptz 0ga wires, terminals, krystal kable RCAs, except a little 4ga monster cables

i got it workin thank god! i couldnt get it by myself so i let a local shop do it. he says its runnin at 1ohm. but it was goin into protection the way you showed me. so he hooked it up to both channels still with 1000rms a piece. and my god is it loud! pics will be up soon... i hope its acceptable to wire it this way. thanks for the help pics will be up soon.

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

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?

So i just got my car back from Freeman's friday around 1 am. The guy worked on it far past closing hrs and did a wonderful job. To see the box specs and the ideas about the build go to this link: I've been listening to a variety of songs and different kinds of music and it all sounds great. Louder than my Ported 15" FI Q for sure and looks sick! The only difference between what i planned on doing and what ended up happening is that instead of the box being around 5.75 after displacements and bracing its only a little over 4 which i know isnt ideal but its the biggest possible to fit it in my trunk. It still sounds great so im not too disappointed about that. It isn't qui…

As most of you probably know, I have a pair of DCON 12s being powered off a RF T500-1bd. They were in a sealed box for a while (1.25 cubes each) and I was very unsatisfied and disappointed by them sealed. I didn't like them at all sealed and was on the verge of selling them or giving them to my girlfriend. I finally got a ported box for them made by a local shop (2.25 cubes each tuned to 33hz) and now they are my favorite subs that I have every owned! They are definitely loud ported and drop very low and have awesome sound quality and I just plain love them! I don't know why anyone in their right mind would choose to have them sealed over ported lol. Their sound qua…

Anybody know what the mounting depth is on a 12" XCON? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

got my SSA icon 12 in the mail today, it suposidly only has 3 hours of play on it so if so it's a plus for me!!! but here are some pics

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.

I'd like to pick up a 15" icon. The box would be sealed, but to shallow to mount the sub. I have the room to do inverted. Is that an option? Will it have a negative affect on the subs performance?

Hi all, I've just received a 15" Xcon today! It's for a friend of mine. We will build a big ported box, with a design we got from Fishercustoms. This will go in a (very) small french car with about 1300 watts rms on it. I will take some pictures to post here. But, wow, what a big and Heavy driver!!! I will be able to tell you all what I think about this beast!! I have a 15" Icon on a saz 1000, so, I already know what is a good sounding sub!!!!!!

Hey, here very soon I will be buying an xcon, the problem is i drive a 1995 honda prelude and the trunk is not very big at all and to put a 15" in the trunk i would most likely need to build the box inside the trunk, and I've been through that before, it sucked. my question is how much of a difference would there be between the 12 and 15? it would be hooked up to an saz 1500. thanks Jordan

yesterday i took my box with my icon in it out of my car because i had a leak in the trunk and it ruined part of the box. and when i took out the icon out of the box i noticed that the bottom magnet had cracked all the way around it. is this something to be worried about? sub was in a box 1.35 cubes at 32hz pushed by a saz 1000d set at 1000 watts. and the sub is no more than 3 months old.

Does anyone know the magnet width?

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.

I've got an xcon 15d2 run by a sundown saz1500d they have been hooked up for about a month and both are great. I was driving a few days ago and everything was fine i parked my truck and went to move it a few hours later and it wasn't playing rite. It plays quiet and when you put your ear to it, it makes a buzzing noise. i pulled the sub out and it does not smell burnt and both coils read about 1.8-9 ohms on the DMM. Sorry for the long post but i have no idea what is wrong. Any help would be great.

...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 …

I have read the thread on the box specs, saying aim for 7 cubes and 100 inches of port area for each XCON 18. I have also watched the vid from the FIRE IT UP show and doubt that box is anywhere near those specs. I have 99 dodge durango, (not the most space in the world) and trying to get the most from it. I am new to box building, tired of shelling out high dollars for someone to build me and my friends a basic box. I can get the 7 cubes a piece, but not too sure about the port area thing. with my space it will be hard to get 200 sq inches. Some box calculators dont even show port area, just tuning frequency. I want to tune about 31 hz. How important is the high port ar…

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?

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 a Icon 12, but now I have a sports car with a hatch instead of a sedan with a trunk. I'm thinking about trading it, selling it, or having it reconed to a 10. Any way I could send it to you over at Ssa and have it reconed to a 10? Going to put my box in my 300zx next weekend and see how that works out.

My Xcon 15 came in today and its probably an understatement to say I'm excited. Just a little under a month now, and I get to throw this thing in and start jamming. And to think, before I started doing research and then found SSA, I was gonna get an Alpine Type-X 12 as the anchor of my "all Alpine system" . Everything was gonna match and to me, thats where it was at. Hell, if someone had asked me about 4 or 5 months ago about Sundown or SSA, I might have said "Aww hell naw don't get that no-name BS, get Alpine and JL". Lets just say I've evolved past that way of thinking and we'll leave it at that. Anyway, here are some pics: Now thats what I call one …

I have heard here and there about the real world power handling of the XCONS. I have already gotten one of my XCON 18s, just waiting to order the other one. The amp i have is a Hifonics XXV Colossus. Was planning on selling the amp and getting the SAZ-3500, but didnt happen. So now I already have the dual 1 ohm subs, how do you think they will handle the Colossus rated 3200X1 @ 2 ohms, 1 amp on each sub? The box is 5.5 cu.ft. each sub, tuned to 31hz. They look so damn good, dont wanna see em go up in smoke!!!
