as much of your posts are not useful.... I'm not gonna lie and I think 8CON is actually kinda of a good idea

I think there should be a vote in the SSA supporter section maybe... just for us long time members/Team members/people who donate

Good thing your coming out with all this new stuff right when I'm ready to do another big build. All JL in the dodge, Sundown and crescendo in the mustang, and all SSA in the Cruze just sounds like a good idea. Expect a order from me soon Aaron. You guys got me curious to how a all SSA system would sound. I truly hope there half as good as everyone says.

Oh and I would name them the 8Cons!

Name will be finalized shortly, as will specs, price and availability, so if you ask any of those questions I don't have an answer just yet. This is long over due, as we have needed an 8" sub for a decade now. Those of you who have been along for the ride, might remember we had a Dcon8 built 9 years ago, but production never happened due to cost of making it here in the USA. Production has not been kicked off yet, but we are VERY close. Some minor changes inside (unable to be seen from photos below) are being made to the design before we kick off. I am very pleased from the performance of the prototype and the output is very strong for an 8. It is a lower Qts. sub and really is surprising in a ported enclosure, while still being well behaved sealed. This is moving to an overhung, 2.5" copper coil, with a shorting ring.. Will be available in D2/D4, and an Fs right around 32.1hz. The sonic goal, (sound signature) was to have some of the warmth of the Icon, mixed with the crispness of the current Gcon. I feel, it is very close to that target. Currently, it is getting fed by the SSA prototype IC2200.1 @ 4 ohms mono (roughly 700+ watts). The 8 blends quite well with the Evil6.5's, and is not at all sweating the power being sent. Yes, the market segment that it is going to end up in is currently pretty packed, and this is not a revolutionary design, but it will be an extremely competitive driver in the top of the 8" cone 2.5" coil sub market, that is right on par with our current models and the sound is excellent, even to my picky ears. I am very excited to get these rolling and available by the end of spring. A little TBT link, the original Dcon8, it is on the far right in this photo:

Don't forget our very own jroadtatts, Jared used Aura NS10 and then NS12 subs up front in his Honda.

Just about any sub bass driver can be installed in the front given adequate space for enclosure build. I've seen at least 2 vehicles with a 12" driver installed in the dash. A Ford Mustang, a Dodge Caravan (I Think). If you count center console front firing drivers you can add a Toyota Tundra and a Dodge Ram to that list running 8" drivers.

Awesome work!

Oh I know, I enjoy being an ass... It amuses me.

Now it's time to lay blade to wood & get this tank under construction!

Sneak peak: yeah I'm old school....Calculator, triangles, t-square, & scale ruler.

I agree, I like that name too!

Yep it should however the spider setup is going to be different in the newer recone but it should sound exactly the same.

My buddy Shawnk has made good progress with my doors I think I'll be using SI new 6.5 midbass, they are more capable in my install compared to Fi.

Sorry to hear about Jack, glad he is feeling better.

Hey, I want to do that.

I see a monster 3 way front stage setup between these, the Evil 6.5's as mids and the Evil 1's.... Damnit man.... lol

Different arrangements getting great results.
