    I finally put in my Icon 15. It's in 3.5 cubes tuned to 34 hz and it is loud as fvck and sounds clean to boot! The funny part is it isn't even broken in.

    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?

    Im new to this site as you can probably tell and was interested in getting a pair of 12" icons. Im not a very crafty person so I was wanting to put these subs in a sealed box. My question is how do they sound sealed off about 1500 watts of power.

    Thank you to ANT for purchasing and donating the driver for test! This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1022x680. My first impression upon receiving this sub was that finally, someone came out with a reasonably sized design. Unremarkable in appearance compared to the latest drivers, nonetheless all the hallmarks of a high end driver are present. Large progressive roll spider, large 4 layer voice coil, aluminum former, cast aluminum basket, venting under the spider, and a massive pole vent in the rear. A nice added touch is the tinsel leads appear to be covered in a non-conductive braiding. May I also add, thi…

    I am thinking about buying a 12'' icon and was wondering about how much power they can handle daily? I currently have a sundown saz1500.1 and don't really want to change that. I no this is a sq oriented sub but i would be running it for spl, i no this sounds kinda dumb but i currently run a fi q. Does anyone have any numbers on a 12 or any icon?

    Hey, my enclosure is 2.2 cubes and tuned to 32hz for the 12" icon, but that feeling of upgradeing is kicking in. Instead of selling it, I want to make some more enclosures for it to keep me occupied. I need a few plans...so what volume and tunning would you recommend. Give me some ideas...

    I don't know if its my settings on my headunit or if it's my songs format (data and mp3) but i'm starting to notice most of my songs sound like crap. I set my gains with my volt meter and the low pass is set around 80hz and no bass boost. My enclosure is 2.2 cubes tuned to 32hz and i'm thinking maybe its too big? One song I noticed it bottomed out and I set my gains to volume 52 with a -4db 40 or 50hz test tone I believe, I was only playing the song around 34-38. I can turn down my eq on my headunit but then my frontstage midbass is not even being used. Do I need an external equalizer? and smaller box since it bottomed out? I mean the song Young Jezzy "You know what …
