So i have 2 icon 10s sitting around at home. Not using them. But my car won't support an amp for two. So i am going to build a box for just 1. I was talking with a friend who builds boxes all the time. And we were talking about a box for one of them. I was thinking sealed since i listen to all types of music but i like to get loud too. But he seems to think that a 7th order box would be best. What do u guys think? Has anyone but an icon in a 7th order box? J/W thanks guys

Does anyone know if you can order the xcon dust cap to be like the icon subwoofers?I like that sunk in look looks beefy..

So its time to finally do this review. First things first Mark and Aaron are great guys who run an honest business and sell amazing products. As of now they have been in my car play music for a year and half. They are still in perfect working order and the spiders and surround remain firm. Coil has no signs of wear and there is no mechanical noise what so ever. These play music for me daily and i mean every day and they get a good bit of abuse on the weekends ejecting people from my car. I can honestly go to say they can play anything and everything with extreme precision and authority. I cant speak enough good things about them nor can anyone who gets to hear them. I hav…

When will they b back in stock?

So heres the deal. Ive been waiting on the IA LI 10s to be released and take advantage of the free enclosure deal. SInce there is no real date to be released yet, im pondering the idea of doing 2x 10" Icons and powering with a SAZ-1500d. Quentin drafted me up a box to suit my space and came up with 2.5ft^3@32hz. My question is, will 750wrms a piece be enough for these to really shine? I currently have a 12" Q in 2ft^3@32 off the same amp. Im looking at changing my setup and going for more output. Does this sound like a reasonable option? I dont want to drop the dough and not be 100% satisfied. Thanks!

so far I have quotes from MRRAY13 RIPPER DEVILDRIVER DEVILDRIVERS SPECTATORS GODSMACK ILUVJDM if I missed anyone's quotes, let me know, i'll be sure to add them to the page http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/product...on/reviews.html thanks for all your confidence in our first line of subs!

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!!

im about to order 2 xcon 12"s today. i will power em with a 2000d sundown. whats is more ideal for this setup. the d1 or d2???

What are the specs for a ported 15 ICON ? Its going in a jeep Liberty.

has anyone heard the ssa xcon in a sealed enclosure?i would love to do 2 15"s xcon in my dodge charger but i think i can only do 15s if i do a sealed enclosur..

I want to run a Sundown SAZ1500D v.2 and a XCON 15D2. I have a 2008 Hyundai Elantra and unfortunately a 15" ported Khaotik enclosure will not fit. So my question is : do I buy a 15" sealed Khaotik enclosure or a 12" ported Khaotik enclosure? Which of the two will give me the most output when powered by a SAZ1500D v.2? Thanks!

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…

Could someone please confirm the exact cut-out diameter for a new Icon 12"? The Sketch-Up seems to indicate just over 11", but I would like to confirm before touching saw to MDF. Thanks!

I am looking at the DCON for a home theater setup. I am going to power it with a 300 watt plate amp, any thoughts? Box recomendations? Thanks

well I got my 2 15" icons running off a zx2500. How well can they take it on clean power? I can beat mine for about a good 10 min then they start to give a little smell out. I have the bass boost off and gains only set 1/4 of the way. On one song today I even heard it pop. Looked like from over excursion or something ( if thats what makes them pop). I am getting a buddy of mine that owns a shop to see what he thinks and if the smell is the voice coils.

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…

Great sub...I do have a question though. I bought the sub from my son.....he bought it here. We built a 1.35 cube box tuned to 32 hz according to the reccommended box designs. I have been running it off a Usacoustics USA 2150 bridged rated for 500 watts. Probobly a little more than that......It has sounded incredible. I had the pleasure of recently aquiring an ESX Q275.2. Bridged rating is 800 watts. Am I getting close to the power handling of this sub? I have tried to find specs on the original run of Icons but have had no success.

While I'm awaiting shipment of the beast I'm working out the design for its future home. It will be going in a center console of a single cab Silverado. At this point it looks as though I can squeeze in 3 cubic ft after all displacements. I'll be running it off a SAZ-2500. I'm wondering what i should tune it to. The suggested range is 29-34. My port area figured up right now will be 40.25in^2. (11.5x3.5).

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

Hi guys, I'm installing an a new sound system in my BMW X1 F48. I want to buy 2 Gcon 10s. I will run them on 1500 to 2000 watts, and I need a serious box design for them. I want a ported box, tuned between 32-34 Hz. I think subs up and port back, in the middle should work. I don't want both subs to share airspace, one would near the port and not the other. I don't know what is the optimal size to use. I can pay for a good design, I know nothing is free !

I was just wondering I have 4 gcon 12s in a blow thru in my Nissan hardbody reg cab I love then I had them on a earthquake 5k and did a 148.9 at 30 hz I was thinking about cutting out the rest of the cab and getting 4 more gcons 12s or should I step up in model I realy like the gcons

Hello everyone! I had an Icon 15 in a ported enclosure in my old ride and loved it. I would have loved to have had it in it's optimum sized ported box to see what it could really do, but the 3.75 cubes tuned to 34hz sounded kick ass anyway and got nice and loud. I had it powered by a 1200 watt JBL amp. The car I have now unfortunately can't fit the the Icon 15 enclosure height wise. I was wondering if an Xcon 12 in it's optimum sized ported enclosure tuned to 33 - 34hz powered by a SAZ-1500D V.2 could get as loud as my previous Icon 15 due to more motor strength?

Hey everyone, I have changed my mind many times about my build that I will be doing in the future. I think I have finally decided for sure on what sub and amp I am going to run. My choice being a single 12" Xcon in a enclosure that seals off the trunk with the sub firing into the cabin. It will be powered by the new Megalith Zed Monoblock. My question is... Should I worry about much reinforcement in my enclosure with only a single 12" thats a lot of power compared to most retail subs that I have worked with in the past. Also, I want to run a ported enclosure, what would the optimal tuning be for electronica music? 32hz? 34hz maybe? Also if I'm running this Should…
