    im wanting to try a new sub to get a little better sound quality. the box is right at 1.0 after port and sub displacement. i think 1.35 or 1.4 before. the problem is i only have 7 inches of mounting depth. i noticed the subs are built a little differently but each have the same mounting depth for the 10". mainly what im wanting to know is which sub would be better with the mounting depth i have.

    After a long wait, they are back and good to go. The pre-ordered drivers will go out first. Thank you to all those who waited it out with us. Also, I will have the Sundown 1000D + Icon combo back up on the shop shortly.

    Has anyone tried a xcon in a 4th order? I have 1 10 right now on a saz1500@ .5 in a 1.75^3ft tuned to 31hz with 31" port area. It's in a 18 wheeler and am having trouble getting it as loud as I'm sure it's capable of. I previously tried a 1.25 sealed and enclosures didn't make much of a difference. This vehicle previously had a difficult time due to cancellation. The space I have to work with is 13.5h, 37w, 23d. I was gonna try using a smaller enclosure and less port, maybe down to 13" per cube. I'm about to order a second 10 and another 1500 to get the cone area and power up. But I wanted to eliminate the canceling of the cone/port and try a 4th order with the port firin…

    After our monthly crew meeting at work one of my coworkers was driving in front on me. We both ended up at the same bank and he came up laughing at me. I asked him what was up and he said he could feel my bass on his back in his truck while driving in front of me. Thought that was pretty funny with 2 15" xcons sealed.

    Back in Oct. 2010 I had a box designed for an 10" Icon at that time which I became pretty busy and never got a chance to buld it or buy the sub. Since then I've noticed the Icons been revised, I'm wondering if I should get a new box designed or if the new icons are pretty much the same as the old icon specs that the design I have will be fine??

    We need some updates on some scores using these bad ass SSA Subs. What kind of numbers are being put up using the Xcons now that they have been out awhile? How are they holding up? Numbers on 12s, 15s, 18s would be nice. Lets go SSA guys!

    So I purchased an Xcon through Amazon from SSA and it already says my shipping label has been created. Does that mean it's already completed? I just ordered it 2 days ago.

    Aaron and I ordered 1000 stickers a while ago and finally got them in! colors available are: white, blue, and yellow they measure out at : 6" x 2.5" these will be given away with every sub ordered. Also we're working on getting larger production stickers for the shop. But we're not locked down on pricing as of yet. We will keep you all posted

    I compete in MECA and went to my first comp. today with the xcon's. Did my personal best of a 151.1@40hz Also did a 127.6 in park and pound....mic outside the vehicle 6 feet away. These subs not only sound awesome but can get pretty loud too. Did 3 p&p runs back to back (30seconds full tilt) and the subs handled it fine, didn't get warm or smelly setup is 2 15" xcons's on a crescendo 3500

    So I have been thinking, If I wall off behind the second row I should be able to get about 14 and a half cubes. Subs on the outer sides and 200sqin of port in the middle. I would be uprading the electrical, with h/o alt, big 3, and atleast 5 batts(1 up front 4 in the back). Another saz 1500, and a shit ton of deadner. I will be upgrading my fronstage as well. I am hoping to do atleast around 146 or so. That would be double the cone area and double the power, aswell as aupgraded electrical. What do you guys think????

    This review is a result of the SSA Dcon Give Away here on DIYMA. So, first I would like to thank Aaron & Mark of SSA for participating in the give-away and providing 2 free drivers to members of the community. Specifications for the driver can be found HERE. The cost for the driver once added to the cart in the shopping section of the SSA website is $165 plus shipping. As you can see from the below picture, the driver is single boxed with 4 foam pads glued to the sides of the box at the mounting ring and (not visible) foam padding underneath the motor structure with an inner cardboard "box" that surrounds the motor structure. The driver did shift slightly during s…

    Hey i just got my 12" icon D1 in last week and i must say i like it! It's in a 2.2cuft box tuned to 32hz powered by a jbl gto1201.1(1100rms rated) with 0 gauge knu wiring. It slams the lows like crazy. My last setup was a pioneer 3004spl in a 1.75cube box tuned to 32hz. Now the icon is classified as a sq woofer but it blows the pioneer out of the water in both sq and spl. I love how i can turn down the gains and lpf if i want some smooth clean bass and then set my gains to 40hz @ -6db and have bass that literally rattles my rearview mirror right off. I am very impressed in my purchase and for 263 dollars shipped to my door with a sticker lol you can't go wrong. Al…
