    I have wondered. Is it absolutely neccessary to run 2 pieces of mdf on the part of the enclousure where the subs mount? if you have bracing on the inside of the box wouldn't it be enough to keep the front "plate" from flexing from the subs? Besides being able to recess them whats the advantages of the second piece.

    Do you guys think the icons sound better in sealed or ported box? Being that the sq, and power are neutral.

    Just throwing this out there, Bromo and myself have been working on this. He says go bigger and I agree but can't do to space constraints. The box for this XCON 15 will have a volume of 3.6 after sub and bracing displacemnt tuned to 33 hz. I listen to hip hop, bass music and just about everything else. Is this box going to hurt the potential of the XCON? Is it to small. Is the tune going to seriously affect the type of music I listen to? Bromo has been a huge help as well as Alton, but I am wanting some other opinions now. Thanks

    Hey what's going on? So I'm in a dilemma with myself on what to do. I've decided that I want to get the D-Cons for myself. The problem is that I don't know if I should go with 2-10s or 1-12. I plan to get the JL HD600/4 so I would have 300 watts to use on the subs. Just not sure if 300watts would be good for the two subs. I mainly listen to Hip-Hop, R&B, Dancehall Reggae so I'm not even 100% sure the D-cons are the right sub for me at all. I am trying to set-up a clean sounding SQ system, but would like the bump when wanted. Can anyone give me a little bit more insight of what to do? Thanks.

    hey all my name is Andrew and im new here. i recently purchased a 12'' ssa icon d2 and a us amps xt1600.2. i am looking to build a box for it and had some questions...i am using the re audio box calculator and am looking for a tuning frequency of around 27-30hz. i have been messing around with the calculator and came up with a box that is 28'' wide, 14'' tall, and 18'' deep. port width is 2'' and the 1st port length is 15.25''. the 2nd port length is 8''. the overall ft^3 is 2.763 and the tuning is 27.98hz. does this sound like an ok design? i have heard that a port width of 2'' could possibly cause some port noise? also i was wondering if it mattered where i moun…

    I just put my dcon 12s in a sealed box in 1.25 cubes each and they are being powered by a Rockford Fosgate T500-1bd. I understand that they are not broken in yet. What's the difference in sound when they are broken in? So far they sound awesome and DO get loud sealed and let me tell you, these subs hit LOOOW. I don't regret sealing them at all. Another thing I immediately noticed about them is they have crazzy excursion. Way more than the JL Audio W3D4 12s and Orion P12s I used to have. Are you sure their Xmax is only 16mm lol?

    Bromo, I am having a terrible time figuring out this CD player. I have had 15 different cd players. Alpine 7998, Eclipse CD8454, etc, etc. This one is by far the hardest to figure out. I know there is a switch on the side to access pro mode. Either way I switch it, all of the controls stay the same. I cannot find out how to turn on or off the internal amplifier. I cannot find the 3 Way Active Crossover. I cannot find the LED lighting options. Basically there is a lot of stuff I cannot get access to. I have read the manual. It just says to use the multi control to access everything, and this is not working. I know you are already giving me a hand on the enclosur…

    I'd like to pick up a 15" icon. The box would be sealed, but to shallow to mount the sub. I have the room to do inverted. Is that an option? Will it have a negative affect on the subs performance?

  25. And if so how would these compare to two level four 12's? Kinda coming from two ends of a spectrum, but I am just tossing around ideas for the next system and am wanting to start pretty soon.
