UPS guy just came and I managed to grab some pictures before I leave. 10" SSA Icon D2. Amp should be here tomorrow followed by knu konceptz wire monday. I'll post pics of those too.

i just purchased 2 10" icons for my 2003 mitsu evo 8. i need help with the best box design for my trunk. im looking for the loudest set up i can get. so far im thinking about firing them towards the cabin and have the port fire the same way in a 3cf box tuned to 32hz. there is only a metal cross brace between the seat and trunk. other options are to fire them towards the back and have the port the same way, but i want a custom install so it would be walled off, not sure if this would hurt sound. finally, i was thinking about firing them back and have the ports on top firing through my rear deck speaker holes (i removed my rear deck speakers) and create a kind of ban…

So i looked and looked and couldn't find it. Are there any options for direct wire leads to VC instead of push terminals on Icons?

We just found a new home across the pond on http://hawaiicaraudio.net/ Thanks to TheAbunai for having a great forum over there and getting us set up with our own section.

I was wondering if anyone on here lived around Middle Tn area. I was wanting to hear the icons. I dont know anyone that runs them here. Thanks

The 12" Dcon prototype just came in. Here are a handful of pictures. Testing on the 12" will start right away. Icon Prototype 12" on the left, next to the Dcon Prototype 12". Dcon 12 on the left, Icon prototype 12 on the right.

finally got to hear them for the first time tonight. here is a link to the thread for the system build, pic will be up soon: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=23227

I am extremely interested in buying a ssa icon 15 but I am concerned because my amp puts out 1500 wrms @ 1 ohm. Will the icon hold up to that kinda power?

what is the optimal tuning frequency for the icons? where do they perform best? i know the range is 27-33hz but where in that range would it be best to tune them at.

I may be totally blind, but I could not find this stupid spec anywhere....what is the mounting depth of the 10" Icon. I have .6 cubes per sub and a mounting depth between 5.25" and 5 7/8". thanks.

we'll it's official, John (Ace3xa) has traded in his blazer and is now driving a Scion TC. A the horror. Well, the truck was a good run while it lasted and gave alot of great demo's. Here's a video in it's honor. May you rest in piece, you big pyle of junk, oh, I mean Blazer.

After a long wait, they are back and good to go. The pre-ordered drivers will go out first. Thank you to all those who waited it out with us. Also, I will have the Sundown 1000D + Icon combo back up on the shop shortly.

first of many shipments from the build house. Aaron and I have decided to keep an inventory of D2's on hand for faster shipping.

Just ordered my Icon 15 and SAE 1000D!! Can't wait. Any one know how long it takes for the Icon to be shipped? And is 4.0ft^3 @ 32hz good?

Decided to go above recommended and build with a touch more air space. Here's the specs... Intenal Volume: 3.16ft^3 Tuning Freq: 31hz Port Area: 60.75in^2 So far I think this is by far the best sounding set up that has been in the Hyundai. Very nice and flat response at this tuning. I really want more power on it soon though. I'm running a SAZ-1500D @ 2 ohms Probably Gonna get a SAZ-3000d in there when they come in stock. Anyways...on to the pics.

i just wanted to ASK you guys at SSA if i could possibly have a custom built woofer. an iCon 5d2 to go in my backpack system. i would much prefer over the tang bands, because knowing you guys, it would have at least like 200w rms handling lol. thanks for tolerating my stupidity! -Chris

hi, i just got me a 02 king cab nissan fronteir and i have around 3 ft^3 of air space to play with. i could do more but i would like to keep the ensclure below the back window line. i figure since i dont have that much space it would have to be sealed. so i am looking for sound quality but would like it to be able to drop low and be decently loud and i listen to rap and r and b. so i am wondering would 2 12" icons powerd off of a saz1500d or a saz2000d since this wont be happening until after xmas with 1.5 ft^3 for each sub be louder and cleaner then 3 10" icons on a 3000d ( roughly 750 rms on each sub) with 1 ft^3 per sub. the front stage will consist 2 of the h…

ok so im starting a build. thought id let you guys know, i let aaron know since im going to be getting the recone kit from him. starts with a tc9 motor, off a 2003 e12a.22 reconed to a b615, then bought by me a 10" 12 spoke basket - courtesy of/purchased from dave moore over at RE a 10" icon recone kit (soon to be purchased) EDIT: heres some pictures of the basket on the motor (just got basket today and put it on) should be a sweet build. when i do it ill bump this thread up and post some pics and whatnot just letting everyone know

I'm planning on ordering two 15" Icons in the next few days and I was just wondering what you guys think I should power them with? Would one SAZ-1500D be underpowering them? It'll be a ported box... Thanks!

Thursday night before work... bored... picture time! Today I finished the sub box, replaced my two 4ga runs with a 0ga run, and built the amp rack (just need to get the amps out the car so I can drill the appropriate holes for the connectors) 1.8cu ft w/ 1lb polyfill (test) Two - 10" icon Dual 1's Sundown SAZ-1500D Front Hertz HSK165 with rainbow cal25 tweeters (one of my hertz tweets blew) Hertz HCX165 Sundown SAX 100.4 All kicker hyperflex wiring Optima Yellow top Big 2 of 3 Dynamat/Raamat/SS all doors, trunk lid, trunk floor (Middle pieces just extra bracing, i did take those pieces into account for air space yes) andd the car

I've got a 12" Icon currently and I love the sub, but now I want to go bigger. Im doubtful that you guys have an 18" recone but I figured I'd ask.

I just want to express my gratitude and tell you guys at SSA that the new site is fvcking amazing looking and is MUCH more user friendly than the last, somewhat "confusing to navigate" site (especially for viewing threads and posting). I'm on CA most of the day, but this site appearance dogs CA's.

When I play my Icon moderately loud I get a smell that almost smells like paint and when I touch the Icon it's very warm. I like the way my sounds alot however I just find that it heats up too easily. I'm beginning to think the Icon isn't what I'm looking for in a sub if it can't take much abuse. I'm not knocking it in any way, it's a great sounding sub and can get decently loud. I just find the voicecoils get stressed too easily. Everything in my car is set up properly so I know it's not the install. Could it be just be because it's hot outside? I mean I had a pair of JL Audio W3D4 12s sealed and a pair of Orion P12s sealed and would play it as loud as I wanted an…
