Sound Solutions Audio (SSA®)

Well, I ended up pushing my sub too hard and fried one of the tinsel leads. So now I'm rethinking what I want to do. After looking around the SSA store, I think I've decided to go with a DCON with the single 4 ohm coil option. My amp does 300 @ 4 ohms and 600 @ 2 ohms. I plan on running just a single one for now, and adding a second one in a few months (once the weather warms up and I can build a box for them). Sound like a good plan? I've been wanting to try some SSA's for a while now.

just wondering if anyone has run a xcon in a sealed box ? i know this woofer is a all out high power sq sub and would like to know its best application. sealed or ported in a low tune box. im thinking of doing a single 12 in the back of a suv with a 1500d or aq2200. any imfo about this sub or opinions welcomed. I know it just hit the market and there are limited amount of users

I'm been thinking about getting some new subs. I currently have a single 10". I'm looking for sound quality but wouldn't mind something louder. I have enough room for some 12's in the trunk. I love the sound of sealed boxes. I drive an old card though so I know I wouldn't be able to push more than 1 icon without multiple batteries/alternator upgrade. Having heard neither the icon or dcon in person i'm wondering how they compare in both spl and sq. I hear the icon is a great sub but if the quality isnt that much better than a pair of dcons, i dont know if i can justify twice the wattage. Either scenario will be upgrade from my current. Just looking for some opinions from p…

according to specs xcon has more xmax, low fs and more power handling. In terms of SQ how would they compare?

Just got home and it was sitting on the porch. opened it up and just took a few pics with it next to my ICON. its HUGE!!! Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Well guys and gals, I got the box carpeted ( not finished with looks ) and installed the amp temporary mounted to a spot in the trunk. My box worked out to be 3.6 after all bracing, double baffle, port and sub displacement, tuned at 33.9HZ. My amp is a MTX Thunder Elite 1501D , 1663 watts 1ohm at 14.4 volts. My first inital response was wow this thing sucks! Then I quickly realized that I forgot to turn the subwoofer control on the head unit up. DUH! This thing puts my two alpine type x 12's to bed. I haven't even broke her in yet and she is impressive already. Superb sounding, very clear all thru the frequency range. A little lit on the upper ranges but that c…

In the spirit of the up coming holiday's, we are going to start a few simple little giveaway contests. This first one involves photography of SSA speakers.

Well just thought I would introduce myself.. Tony is the name Redneck audio is the team.. Just picked up my first SSA Xcon 18 today really impressed so far. Its going in a big green ugly truck. Plan on pushing it with a AP1800. Building the Box to the Vented Specs from SSA. It has V2 Nightshade terminals on it that fit 8 guage. Cant wait to get it running.

i want a sub with good output and good sq, by the rms numbers it seem slike the xcon will get plenty loud for me but im worried about the sound quality. so id like to kno if anyone has heard an fi q, ssa icon or havoc or anything along those lines and heard a xcon too and if the sq is comparable? thanks.

I'M looking to build a louder setup. I currently had a Dcon 10" in a 1.15 cu/ft tuned to 31hz drived by a Memphis PRD1000.1 at 4 ohm( 300rms but never clamped it..) I got the space build optimal box spec of those woofer but probably 5 cu/ft at 30hz.I like low tuned box.I listen to every style of music so i need good reponse. IDK what way go.. Buy 3 other Dcon or 2 Icon 12" ?? For sure, I'll bought an other amp to well feed those woofers even if a keep Dcon line.. A solid 2000rms amp and i'll be gently with the gain.I like my driver cause it's sound very clear and i'm satisfied by is reponse. Opinions? Thanks

Our much anticipated 12" version of the EVIL is due to arrive very soon. We have a few on order to photograph for the store, and there are a few more details to work out on them, but you should see them in the store soon!

So I found on another forum an Xcon 12 that is the 2011 model for 200. Pretty good deal!!He bought it november of 2011. Turns out he's local too. Just wondering if there is any difference in that model than the newest one? He's actually a member on here also under the name dwnrodeo but he's not so active he said.

I am thinking about getting 2 DCON 10's D4's and wiring them to 4 ohms and my amp is 1000 watts @ 4 ohms and I want to know is 500 a piece is to much for these, also what will be the best size ported enclosure and what should I tune it to

Would there be a big difference in the output if i go 5ft^3 sealed ,vs ported, so i can fit it in my trunk? Has anyone heard an xcon 18 sealed before and how loud can it get sealed?

I recently read a review for the AA SMD 18 and they identified the sub as a SQ sub. With that being said below are the results of the testing.. Score Chart Musical score: 7 of 10 Overall Sound Quality: 8 of 10 Tonal Balance: 7 of 10 Low Frequency Extension: 7.5 of 10 Clarity at Low Volume: 6.5 of 10 Clarity at High Volume: 8.5 of 10 Impact: 9 of 10 when testing they said the sub did not perform well (in terms of sound quality) at low volume. How does the Xcon 18 sound at low and high volume?

I'm just going to assume this is my fault. But here's the situation. Was riding the other day while at my normal bumping level and smelled something funny. Turned system off and got the sub out today and saw this. I've never really blown a sub before so I don't know how this happened. Was it from too much power? Clipping? Any help would be appreciated. Assuming I will need to get a recone. Will be contacting ssa here soon. All gear is in my sig. No bass boost of any kind was used and everything had been working great for 6 months. I do have a second xcon that is perfectly fine. Is it odd that only one went out?

Hello, I want to tell you my feeling after changing my sub enclosure. Some people are afraid of going sealed with the Xcons, and want advices. I had a 3.5 ft3 sub box, tuned to 32 Hz. Design was made by Fisher Customs (need the new ones JBL Camry, please). My car is a hatchback car, and I had the sub and port facing up. I loved it, but I could not put a bottle of water (or whatever) in the trunk, and the amps were not breathing right : no room at all. I made a friend (he has an Xcon 15" too) build a sealed box for me : dim are (70 x 40 x 40 cm), so 27.6" x 15.7" x 15.7 ". I think they fit in the ones provided by ssa. I have a lot more room in the trunk and I like that !…

After some deliberation I decided on the ssa sub. I can't wait to get it installed and listen to it. I'll post a pic of it when it comes in.

building a project for a show in a few weeks. 7.854ft^3 after displacement 268in^2 of port tuned @ 47hz

look at the last post in the thread... as of now is post # 10... http://www.****/forum/15-subwoofers/116087-brand-new-fi-sp4-15-a.html#post1588730

Nothing too special but i think it'll give you guys a little taste of them. Remember this is all done with 600-750wrms each.

We are looking to pick up 2 or 3 Bass Race competitors. We would like them to be able to get it going for the remainder of this season. If you are interested, we are looking for someone with bass race experience, if not, having a good deal of SPL time under their belt. The ICON is a good bass race candidate. This is not a sponsorship. As we are way too small of a company to give away equipment. This is for people who can do a good number of shows. This is in the beginning stages. I would compete myself, but family and work do not allow me the time to build and travel to shows. The drivers would be at dealer cost, if amplifiers were needed also we could take care…

As a daily driver which one would sound better? looking for SQ not soo much as SPL. oh powered by sundown saz-1000. any positive feed back would be great.

I just purchased some SSA ICON 15s (2) for $90!! Their not the 2010 version, but still, that's a steal!! Right?

hi i have a bxi 2610d and now im looking for good woofer(s) and narrowed it down to xcon or l7. my goal is to hit the lows damn good and im not concerned in higher frequenzies. in other words i want to shacke my whole car, maybe hairtrick, window shacke, etc. either id get 2 15" l7 or 1 18" xcon. both setups would be in the max recommended ported enclosure. but personally ive never heard an xcon and dont have the chance to do it.
