3k, 2-12s ICONs or XCONs?
Does the xcon have a rear pole vent or is all venting through the basket?

3k, 2-12s ICONs or XCONs?
order has been made, send it to me now I wasn't really looking to run rear speakers per say, I was wanting to run all 4 doors as midbass 60-400hzish, you sit high and leaned back in there, the rear door speaker is nearly in line with your head and a lot closer compared to the front door speaker. and then mids and tweets up front leaving the center and rear-rears off headunit I'm hoping may blend ok at low/reasonable volumes but be drowned out at higher volumes. from the factory I believe the system simulates dolby 5 pro logic, using a LOC/DSP seems a shame to sum all the channels (that are already separated) just to have it then separate the channels I wanted to match my 3k amp with mmats new hifi6150 but I may just use some amps that have speaker level inputs(JL XD) and let it all be and I know , I haven't used rear speakers in any upgraded system I've had in a few years, this is also family ride I gotta keep it as such for the kiddo

I always try to take pics as I go but after a few hours hammering it out I give up lol now all I gotta go is worry about the rest of the fuggin speakers in this thing. One of the rear door speakers is blown already. it has the tech package that comes up 10(?) speakers I think total. 4- 6.5" in each door, 2-tweeters in the sails, center channel 2.75", 2 satellite speakers in the rear most pillar (2.75"each) and factory sub. I want to leave the center and rear satellites off the factory for now. replace all four doors and tweets, and I would like to throw in a small mid, less than 3", for 3ways up front. the mid being the hardest component to source as my ocd kicks in and I want to match all the speakers , I keep coming back to the hertz ml700 which isn't bad by any means but the full set up is $$$. will probably buy one full 3way component set and another pair of 6.5s by them selves for the rear door

sounds good, now all I need to do is order- change my order, complain that I didn't actually place the order, and want a refund, and .... the boss is definitely on board with mo' bass in there, but she wanted to keep most of the hatch open as she needs to do deliveries every once n a while (bakery) - I'm going to go ahead n order one 12 xcon for the time being to play around with thanks guys!

honestly when I first happened upon SSA I thought nothing but XCONs would do, but reading the overwhelming reviews the ICONs sounded good - haven't had a big (loud) system in a few years wasn't sure what the status quo was. budget - i'll get an earful no matter what I buy, but it's refund time for her and bonus time for me coming up want to get things rolling before it's spent on things we actually need

hey guys, trying to figure out what to use- recommended enclosure looks to be about the same, I may do about 4.5cuft ported for the pair of them, tuned around 30ish? (lower maybe I see recommend down to 26hz?) I've always felt the enclosures I've built down around 30hz have had plenty of low end but I've never tuned one that low so maybe I don't know what I'm missing. Going in a 2007 acura rdx (fancy cr-v) amp is a mmats 3k, wondering if I should slightly over power the icons or have a damn reliable pair of xcons. 90% of the time they'll be babied by my significant other as it's her DD. the other 10% of the time i'll be abusing the crap out of them when I drive it. I probably wont ever want/need more power unless I get in a pissing match with someone

makin the switch (soon)
alright guys, how ya all doing... i've been out of car audio for a while now ,kid>car audio, kids getting a little older now so i get to start buyin my own toys again.... from my last "build" about 3 or 4 years ago...i've got two mmats p3 15s and an older mmats d200hc for sub'age, a mmats 6/4/1 3-way comp set running off an older soundstream vga400.2 , and a mmats 5/1 2 way comp set not sure if i'm going to use or not yet> probably not, might just power the 3way set more my little project truck is a 92 chevy 1500 reg cab, short bed. right now it has the 3way set and a single 15 in a pretty hacked together center console. picked up a tonneau cover a few weeks ago, found the boot locally pretty cheap, so i think i'm going to build a box for the xcons (blow through), which if i hadn't blown all my money on xmas already and just put it off till the last minute LIKE I USUALLY DO i would have taken advantage of the weekend sale> anyhow for now i'll just drop the two 15s i've got in and let em bump for a few months sooo onto the box, even though i'm cutting this thing up , i would like to keep some bed room trying to keep it in front of the tubs, i've only been messing with sketch up for a little bit so it's , obviously, not showing material thickness, but outside dimensions would be 58w by 15.5h by 25d, 14x8x33 port... and i searched around and couldn't find anything on port area- it should be about 10.7 internal, minus port, woofers,45s, bracing should be close to 8cubes, tuned @ 30hz, and i may try to kerf the port, and place the speakers differently, but ya get the idea...soo if i completely messed somethin up lemme know> and it will probably be made of birch, bed stays about 99% dry
