would 900wts at 2ohm be ok to match up with a 15"icon in a fisher ported box

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…

are the Icon series more spl setup? When are they coming back in stock? Which of the sundown amps would work better on a 15 the 1500 or 1000?

Ok, decided to throw this 10D2 in my truck to demo at a show tomorrow. Wanted to go with a really flat response, so had Fallen from ROE throw together a box design in a pinch tuned @ 31hz. 24.75in^2 or port. Volume after displacement it's 1.25ft^3. This is the first time i've really played with the ICON in this respect. Absolutley love it.

what enclosure size do you suggest for a icon 12 sealed off 1000 watts? i think i am going to go with 1.2 but do i add polyfill or no?

Glad I went down and picked up the 12 from you today, sounds louder than 3 P3's on a T3000.1, even with the prefab box. I am getting a box designed, will you be able to build it for me if I give you the sketch-up??

I got an icon 12 recently, it's in a sealed box, and I Love how low it goes. If I really turn my radio up it gets Loud and sounds clean. Thing is I think I'd like some more output, but still want it to get nice and low and sound good. I listen to mostly industrial, a bit of triphop, and rarely metal and rock, what would you recommend as far as a ported box goes?

Okay I have a icon 15 and inverted with the basket outside of the box and today as I was getting outta my truck, I touched the magnet and it was considerably warm.., s this normal or is the sub getting too hot?

well after along time of driving my brand new truck around with a ton of weight in the back, two monster 15's and a huge box, batts, amps, etc...I decided it was time to get back to a single 12". Plus with John having his truck so close for demo's, and that truck being above and beyond loud IMO, thought it was time. Found some great looking prefab's locally here in Phoenix, so decided to try one out. Here are the specs of the box. Width - 18.250" Height - 16.000" Depth - 16.000" Internal Volume = 1.769 ft^3 Tuned @ 37.089 hz Port Area = 25.8in^2 Everything seems about right with this box ecept the tuning is a little high, but all and all I am really amazed by the SQ …

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.

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

Finally arrived today! Testing will begin shortly. And before anyone asks, no pricing is not set, we do not have a release date and the T/S parameters are not finalized. So with that out of the way, here are a few pictures of the prototype. There is a few possible changes that could still occur. So here are a few shots of the real one, (the teaser pictures were mostly the concept driver prior to this prototype), the silver basket 12 is the first Icon prototype I use daily in my car, and the other 8" driver placed for scale is the leader of the segment, SS RL-i 8, and a 1st run Icon 10 for fun too. No, that dust cap will not go to production, it is a blank one for te…

Hey guys figured I'd go ahead and show you my setup, check it out here: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=314357

Thanks Denim for the spec's on the subwoofers, I was able to use the Icon 12 for the design, it fits just fine with no problems.

Would a 6" psp areo port be enough for a pair of Icon 12s? Had a idea and was just curious and needing a lil input, thanks.

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…

I have a customer that wants to use either of subwoofers mentioned for a silverado install. Which ever model is used is dependent upon which subwoofer will fit given the design of the enclosure and the customer has already told me he has tired to obtain the same information with no response.

3 12" icons in a sealed 4.5 cube sealed box 3000 watts anyone have feedback. an idea ive been thinkin it may be my new setup

I have a couple of ?'s as I am new to ssa audio ..i have a 92 camaro and will be building a sealed box as i have always been more of a SQ guy ..1. does the icon preform well in a sealed box ...2. what are the ideal cubes for a sealed box ..im open for input so any good woofers that preform well in sealed box's feel free to throw your 2 cents in ..thanks guys ill put up some pics when i iron out all the loose ends should be fun with all of your help

I've heard that the SSA ICON 15 and Fi Q15 are very similar in SQ and output. I want to purchase either of the two subs but am not sure which to choose. I want a sub that has very deep, low bass, and gets loud with good SQ. Does anyone know if any of the two is better than the other???

I am thinking about getting an Icon 15 but I have some questions. I currently have a Diamond D3 15 and an AQ1200D. I will be using this amp which I know should be fine but I would like to use my existing box. The box I have is from audio enhancers and its 4cubes tuned to around 32hz I believe. It is the model designed for Diamonds though and would like to know if it will work. This will be going in my 03 Blazer.

I finally installed my icon 15 in my truck. I had tried it in a friends box but today i put it in the console box I built. It bis 3.75 cubes tuned to 32 hz. I LOVE IT!!! It flexes my roof and all four windows and still sounds very clean. Just wanted to thank everyone for talking me into getting it instead of the kicker L7. Also thanks to SSA for making an incredible sub.

first video on the new subs. Still not available just yet. Still doing tons of daily testing in my truck and in the blazer. Here's a few shots of the subs and people's reactions to it. Build log for this truck is here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=16207 xm7WLqN_vr4

I saw denalilvr posted something about SSA releasing a new driver specificly designed for a daily setup.. if anyone has any info please shoot me a PM or email me

can they be used in a sealed box? if so do they have good sound quality? would one 10 beable to handle the power from a kicker zx1000.1 with a birthsheet of 1156w?
