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.

Hey Trev just wanted to say thanks for hookin the SSA dust caps up with tommie and crystal for the most entertaining pic I got in a while LOL

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.

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?

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.

Would 2 10" ICON's take 1500 watts daily? If not would it be possible to custom order one with some stiffer spiders or something? Amp is a Sundown SAZ-3000D, box will be ported (http://www.decware.com/whorn.htm). Thanks Guys! Duran

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

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.

Here's a sneak peak at whats to come. Our goals with this sub is to have a great sounded sub that can handle gobbs of power. I have a fresh Sundown 1500D waiting for this sub and a brand new text box, 2.5ft^3 @ 32hz w/43in^2 of port. Hopefully I get some time to take a short vid of the crazy amount of xmax this thing has. Denim can fill in the rest if he so chooses too, anyways, on to the pics.

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.

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'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!

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…

What's the Re of the different coil configs on the ICONs? Also, when should they be back in stock?

I have an Icon 15 in 3.5 cubes tuned to 34hz. It is being powered by a JBL GTO 1201.II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2ohms. When I turn it up I get a smell that almost smells like paint. The gain is set a lil past half way. I notice some people on the forum are powering pairs of the 15s with like 1500 watts from a Kicker amp. Am I setting the gain too high? What could that smell be? Should I turn down the gain on my amp and turn up the sub setting on my deck? The deck I have is the Alpine CDA-9886.

How much would it cost to recone an ssa icon 15"???? thanks in advance

does anyone know if the icon will preform well in a 3 cu ft. ported box? 3 cubes is all i can fit in my CRX since i want to keep the sub covered. any input would be great

LIKE THE TITLE SAYS

Silverado - 2 Icon 10's - 2.05 cf ( 1.025 per sub ) Port - 33hz ( 30 sq.in. area )

Where can I get a new surround for a 12" icon? How much are they? Will it be hard to replace witht he fact that they have a paper cone?

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

Title says it all everyone be prepared!

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.
