  1. 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.

    Ok I think it was last sunday. I was delivering pizza, I had just been listening to music not loud while I was taken a delivery, I turned my car off and walked into the pizza shop for maybe 5 minutes tops. Came back out turned my car on and drove off. Still listening to music then i realized that the sub was not on. The amp was on so I just figured maybe a connection problem. Checked the terminals they were fine, I pushed the sub in to see if the coil was scratching and nothing. I then took it out the next day and no connection problems on the inside. I did a pop test and nothing. No signal at all. I checked the tinsels and they seem fine. I could only see them on the out…

    Well, I was changing the subs to their new box when I noticed one of my Xcon's has a cracked magnet all the way around. I have no idea how it happened or what may have caused it. I haven't noticed any performance issues from it though. Here is the other sub which is fine here is the sub that is cracked

Its wired to 1 ohm and playing hypnotize my young jeezy. video really does the set up no justice though. i took it with my camera phone so you cant really see all of the excursion or hear how loud and clear this thing really is but i promised a video today so here it is. im off to work now so enjoy. feel free to leave comments good or bad. oh yea and you can see the spare tire because i pushed the box farther back in the trunk an the thing that was covering it moved back a little but i covered it up again haha so my trunk doesnt always look lik…

    I ordered my Icon 15 within the first 10 minutes of them being for sale, or something like that. box is going to be 3.08 cu ft after displacement. pretty much 3 cu ft tuned to 35 hz. Just got my 2 brand new soundstream amps this past week, PCA 2000d for sub, and PCA 2.260 for my JL Audio XR 5.25 components, also a brand new strand of KnuKonceptz Colosseus 1/0 power cable. =)) Building box, running power wire, and hooking up sub on saturday=) might start box sooner. BTW::: The ups tracking number still doesn't tell me when the sub will be arriving!!! I wanna be home when it arrives!!!! I talked to denim on caraudio.com, and please respond back to me. P.S.

    Hello everybody, as the title says I want to suprise my husband with a pair of xcon 15s, but I do not want him to be dissappointed with my purchase. After I decided that I wanted to get him some subwoofers for his birthday I started asking him, his friends, and his brothers questions about his current setup so that I would not spend my money in vain. After much research I have narrowed it down to the xcons. My husband claims that he likes sound quality woofers that have the ability to get loud, which I take are right up the xcon alley. Currently my husband has dual 15 inch Diamond TDX subwoofers and I constantly hear him say that they are hard to beat and are the best woo…

    So right now, I have a crappy Pioneer not even 200watts running off my JL Audio 500/1 ... So I want an Icon because I want a nicer subwoofer that I can grow into.. The woofer will be put into a sealed enclosure about 1.0 cubes. So obviously output will be louder with the better woofer and higher wattage.. Am I okay to underpower it? I know this question is common, but just would like to hear good news for my setup... Thanks guys... Also I am definitely tired of shitty Pioneer 12" ... Sounds like a fatty person's fart...lol... So I'd rather spend my 300 beans with you guys and not give it to Big Business .. Plus the reviews of the product are just too insane to not try i…

    I would like to see a ICON review please I have 2 10s in my car right know but I am thinking about trying something new and these look nice. The thing is I need to know how they preform sealed. I like the sound of a sealed sub. I am thinking of 1-12 or 2 10s not sure if I can come up with the money for 2 10s. I do have 800wrms to give what ever I go with. I want it to be musical but want it to get loud when I ask it to. Right know I have 2 Phoenix gold RSd 10s sealed and they sound nice to me. I have had RLi 8s sealed, Rlp 12 ported and a RE SE12 ported. How would you compare them to all of the above. Thanks for all your help, Mike J.

Of course the xcons will be loader and sound great,but i've never ran subs in a box tuned that low.am I going to notice a diff in the upper range? My front comps play pretty well down low have them crossed hfp at 63hz.Just want to know what to expect.I play a lot of rap,and r/b some rock.

    Asked Sundown this and will all you too, what you would consider your SQ sub? Again they all look to have a consideration for SQ and not be pure SPL or one note wonders, but again maybe 60-40 street beater vs. SQ. Do you have any plans for an SQ reference sub as well?

    I've been trying to decide what enclosure to build for my 1 12" D2 Icon. Like most members here I listen to all types of music, but personally lean heavily toward rock/metal. As a musician, I am plagued with a trained ear (good for recording, bad when analyzing car audio) so SQ is top priority. I had the Icon in a stuffed 1.15 sealed box powered by a Crossfire vr600 in the past. I loved everything about it (clean, accurate and smooth with tons of depth). Very toneful. I took the system out of the car last year and ended up giving the box away to a friend. I recently got the itch back and getting ready for the re-install. Seems like 99% of members here prefer ported which …

    Icon 12" sealed or a Icon 10" ported? Should have added, I meant in ideal boxes. Also, I would like to tune the box to 15-20hz since my amp does not have an SSF. I've got a blown 12" icon that i'll either fix or swap for a 10" and port. The 12" port box is just to big.

    I'm buying either 2 12" xcons or 2 15" xcons depends on what thumper comes up with and recommends for my truck x-cab s-10. I see in the ssa store that I can buy a combo of each sub with a sun down 1500 but I would like to only run one amp for the subs. Would the 3500 be ok or should I go bigger or should I go ahead and buy 2 1500. P.S. I'm comming to the dark side from running 2 JL 12W6 and 2 Phoenix Gold Ti 600.2 amps. IT'S LOUD BUT I WANT MORE

  25. Hi SSA, Currently in the market for a 15" sub that works best in sealed, airspace is 2.0 to 2.5 cf^3. Power for use is 750W on low-end to 1800W on high-end. Music preference is a mix of r&b, rock and some rap when the mood strikes. This will be in a crew cab truck, orginally I was looking at a quad setup for 8's or a single 12 but decided to look at going with the biggest driver I can fit. Feedback from users of the ICON and XCON would be great. Thanks in advance for your time and assistance. MW
