havnt heard anything today.

yea, denim, he asked for my order number. sorry sir-lancelot, i feel like im going crazy. with all the excitement of ordering it, then waiting on it to get here, then waiting for time to install it, then to install it and have the joy of listening to it and then shortly be taken right back away after all that waiting.....lol

is mark online a lot? i know he was readily available when i was buying and getting info, but now it seems like its hard to get any info on how to get this fixed. not mad just antsy try to get this bad boy fixed

email sent. thanks. man i miss it and i only got to hear it play for a few minutes

Agree. yes sir. what im doing. he feels pretty bad. and i feel bad too cause he had to give up his rent money. so i will be giving all back that isnt used. probly go ahead and give him 200 of it back today.

well he did give me 300. and i was going to order a new one and have this one fixed. but i dont want to do that to him if all it needs is the dust cap. yea he fucked up, but still...

i sent mark a message but it was kind of long. it was right after i saw it and was pretty upset so that may be why he didnt answer. ill try again with a shorter message. heres a pic of the damage Uploaded with ImageShack.us

how much would it be to put a new dust cap or cone( or whatever the correct term is) on a 15" ICON? It is brand new only played music for maybe 30 minutes im guessing and then a friend put a beer on my sub without me knowing and it hit and now has a huge crack in it. sucks to not have it in after all the waiting ive already done.

yea im not gonna buy a new sub. im just going to use what i need to fix this one. i was really pissed when i just woke up and saw that. so i told him to buy me a new sub. now that time has passed and im cooled off i told him i was only using what i need to fix this and pay for shipping

no, i thought i was going to have to but he felt bad enough and gave me money for a new sub. he knows he F'd up

i changed the ground location to a better spot i found so im all good. now just need a new dust cap i guess.

how much would that be? maybe i should just do that instead of having him buy a whole new one.

no i am about to go figure that out. i went out to my truck saw the crack came inside called the guy up and told him about it. went to his house to show him the crack and get him to buy me a new one. now back at home and will hopefully figure that out. too bad i wont be able to listen to it. i was lucky and didnt have to wait for my ICON to be built since they had one already.

hah....well things get better. so i go out since its daylight to figure out whats wrong and i walk out to my truck to see this. Uploaded with ImageShack.us last night in the very short time i got to hear it, some reasone one of my dumbass friends thought it would be cool to put a unopened can of beer on the cone. i didnt see him do it until i heard a popping sound when it hit the cone. since it was dark and my interior lights suck i didnt see this. i called him up this morning told him it was cracked and that it was because of him and he offered to get me a new one......cool deal so then i start to wonder how much a recone would be so i could have 2 15s now....so maybe i can get something good out of this, but i am still pissed that my sub didnt make it a whole day installed.

i got the box design from the tech page 15" OPTIMAL SEALED 2.75 ft^3. now have free time so im going to start figuring it out

could i have already messed something up in this short of time?

so what would make it just go in to protect mode and shut off? i checked the wires. and the ground but i dont know what else?

alright. im waiting till tomorrow to mess with it so i can see. im not to worried about the output, i was just thinking it would sound cleaner

well i got my icon and amp and build a 2.75 cuft sealed box that ssa reccomended on their site. i had it playing and it sounded ok, not as good as i was expecting from everyones reviews but that may be because i didnt adjust settings. but while i was listening the amp cut off and now only starts up in protect mode then shuts off. what would be my problem??? i cant figure it out

see i have no idea what that means. passive or active. i want the to be loud and sound good on all types of music. as for the icon i have a sundown saz1000d.

ok, but my main question was asking about what amp i should go with. and i wish i could hear these and all the other speakers i want to listen to but there is no way to do so

i ordered one but its asking for me to mail in the payment. can i use a debit/credit card instead?

I plan on purchasing these soon (unless there is something better for the same price i should consider) and was wondering what a good amp would be to power these. Also, I guess i will ask. Would these sound good along with my 15" ICON? Thanks in advance, Alex

Google Sketchup alright, i downloaded that, now i can see the pics of it but no measurements

well my icon and amp both came in, but i still havnt had time to put it in my truck yet. i havnt had time to build a box and i still dont reallly know how to go about building a ported box. ive built sealed but thats pretty simple, and i cant seem to open the enclosure recommendations here on ssa
