    My next system is going to be a single 18 setup on 3000watts. So far the plan was to go with the Fi BTL, but the more I read about the Xcon, the more I want one. The only problem I have is that I am worried that it couldn't take 3000 daily. I would be easy on the gain, I just don't want to fry such a beautiful piece of equipment. EDIT: (Spelling)

    I have a Icon 12, but now I have a sports car with a hatch instead of a sedan with a trunk. I'm thinking about trading it, selling it, or having it reconed to a 10. Any way I could send it to you over at Ssa and have it reconed to a 10? Going to put my box in my 300zx next weekend and see how that works out.

    Lookin for a low powered, low budget setup for HT usage. So, i came and looked at the Dcons, they look like what i want. I was thinkin about gettin a couple of these Dcon 12s and runnin a small powered amp to them tuned around 17hz. 9cuft NET was the ideal range i was thinking. You got any recommendations on if I should go larger if i can or what? What would you think about port area? Even though I will be using less than 500w for a pair, the xtreme low tuning may still require large port area? Yes\no? I can use up to 100sqin if necessary but that sounds too large, in my opinion.

    first off, hey everyone, new to this forum. im usually on other forums but figured my question would be best answered here well im really interested in the Icon and a few other subs. but i got a couple questions: 1) I wanna do 2 15" Icons sealed in my car. i can only fit about 5 cuft tops. I have a couple amps in mind and all of them do about 2500rms. Would that be too much for the Icon? Should i only put 2k on them? Also, should I make the box towards the smaller side around 4-4.5 cuft or towards the bigger end 4.5-5cuft? Or should i just call off the sealed and do 2 12's ported? 2) I think I've narrowed down my decisions to a few subs. 2 12" AA havocs ported ran off abo…

    We only have a handful of Xcon's left in stock, so if you are looking to grab one, do it now before these are gone until the supplies come in.

    Is there a specific length or width of the port inside the box for the max quality of the speaker paired with with Sundown 1500D. Any advice would be great, building it for a 2010 Camaro. Cant wait to post pics.

    Would 2 10" ICON's take 1500 watts daily? If not would it be possible to custom order one with some stiffer spiders or something? Amp is a Sundown SAZ-3000D, box will be ported (http://www.decware.com/whorn.htm). Thanks Guys! Duran

    Heard on facebook there was a delay on some subwoofer parts, I think this has affected the xcon availability? If so, when will the D1s come back in stock? I will be ordering 2 very soon. Thanks

    I have a DCON 10 currently in a ported enclosure, but just don't really care much for the sound. My car seems to have a nasty 40-45hz boost and almost no bass around 60hz with the sub rear facing in the trunk. I've tried moving the box around and have been able to get better sound with it corner loaded firing basically across the trunk. However, the box I have is really too big to fit like that, so I am wanting to construct a new one. The question that I have is how much space do I need behind the woofer for the vented pole? I'm trying to make the box as shallow as possible. The sub has 6" mounting depth and I'm assuming I would need another 2 inches or so to be saf…

    i have pair of dcon 10's. I want to make an enclosure for them and its recommended 1-1.25 cubes 28-33 hurts. what does the smaller size do? Would that mean more power handling? More punchyness? I have a us amps merlin md1 for power and plenty of juice for supply. also what does the tuning frequency effect. i listen to a broad array of music slipknot and mudvayne lamb of god to eletronic and rap. i know there is no perfict setup for all but what would you recommend? I have a 2005 civic sedan if that helps. thanks

    Picked up a Dcon D4 for a really good price to throw into my little .6 sealed box. Wasn't expecting much,WELL I was wrong. I turned it up and it started to make my ears hurt and set off the neighbors alarm.Now I haven't adjusted the gain,etc,just wanted to make sure everything was working.Look like I have some fun ahead. I do have a question...Should I run it with 450rms or the full 600rms. I have been told that 600rms is no problem?

    I'm new to this forum and after much research I'm 99% sure that I am going to go with a dcon 12 for my ford fusion build. My goal is sq with as little room taken in the trunk as possible. The sub will be running off the 300 watts of a jl 500/3. The only thing really holding me back is the box design. I want to go with a sloped box that follows the contours of the seat to keep the enclosure tucked under the rear deck/cross beam area. Nomore than 7 inches t the top and 12ish at the bottom spanning the length of the trunk area. Now, I keep reading that this sub really wants to be put in a ported enclosure with a low tune, but I'm not sure if that can be achieved with my s…

    I just obtained an SSA DCON12 single 4ohm. It will be run off a JBL MS-A5001. So 500 watts. I am looking for SQ. My last setup was a CDT QES1220 in .62cu.ft sealed. It sounded phenomenal. But I made the mistake after selling my Explorer of telling the wife that the CDT is hers..lol So now I have a chance at the DCON. Couple questions: 1: How will the DCON respond in an Infinite Baffle? 2: If I run sealed, have you guys plotted the 12's to see where it gets the flattest response? .75, 1, 1.2 cu.ft???

    So I am piecing together parts for my new sound system in my new VW CC. I decided to go with the SSA DCON 12". Before I purchase, I'm not sure weather to get the 12D4 or the 12S4. I know the difference and the advantages (I think). The amp I am using is a 5 channel Kenwood amp. According to the specs in the owners manual it puts out 350w RMS equally in 4ohm and 2 ohm in the sub channel. I understand that if the amp was to put out more power with a 2ohm load then I should def get the 12D4 so I could wire it in parallel and get a 2ohm load and draw more power from the amp. This amp as mentioned earlier however puts out the same amount of power. This means that I don't nee…
