There are always ghosts in the machine.

The build went great!! Randy and Josh were a monster help, even drunk and googlely eyed and ripping burger farts, these two can run circles around most installers. The first box syndrome is pretty good. Thank you to Randy and Josh and the car port and the beer and the carne asade. We did not get the mids or the tweets, but some freaking how the 4/0 made it under the inner plastic panels! The Civic is easier to work on then the Explorer. As for the car, there were two ideas as to what direction to progress based on my score next weekend. We could go small pressure box aero port, or larger box slot port. More power is needed along with bigger battery and the new HU that should be here today or tomorrow. Plus the PG Bass Cube needs to make an appearance, been in retirement for too long.

Thank you denim. Again sorry about the bs in the other thread. Its ok, I can understand your frustration, and I wish you luck with UPS.

How would you compare it to the RLp 12 I know you have use 1 in the past. 2nd with only 800wrms which way would you go 1-12 sealed or maybe 1 10 ported. I do like the sound of sealed. But I trust what you have to say I have not been around in a while but I have taken your advice in the past. Thanks MJ I have not tested the ICON against my RL-p. I love both subs, but they are somewhat different in design, I do have a triple stack RL-p, but after that they really don't share much in common. With 800watts, that is plenty for both sealed or ported. After some testing and box adjustment for sealed design, I really like the ICON 12 in a .9 to 1.1 cube box. The pair of 10's ported would be a good mix of output and SQ when space is an issue. They are some of the beefiest 10's out now. Is 800wrms total enough for 2 10s ? I like my amp and until it pops I dont want to buy a new one. It is enough, the ICON does not need loads of power to do the job. But I feel a single sub might make more use of the power as stated by Scott above.

It will work out, you choose a great company and it is good that you came here for help instead of unassociated websites.

As stated above power will make a difference. For this season, I don't have the money to dump into huge amplifiers, so I am just trying to test and push the Mach5 and have fun doing it.

We would rather let the customers describe it. I know and love the ICON, as I do the MAG and RL-p. The Q is a top notch driver also, but we have not tested the ICON against any of them. All my testing of the ICON was to make sure it was going to do what we wanted it to do and hold up to some abuse and have the best sound we could get in the target price range.

We are going to let the performance speak for itself. The ICON has only been out a very short time, and there is not enough people that own it yet to give a review, but relax there will be some very shortly.

Also when to use; "bizkits and greyveee"

As of yesterday, I am doing a little more then 140 but of the choices I vote #1.

Orion, pulls some current full boogie, but great amp.

Love the dark wood.

Let me move this to the Fi section.

Happy b-day shawn, I hope things are going great!! Thank you for being a part of SSA.

You can subscripbe to the topics you were posting in.

Thank you guys so much for all the happy b-days. It is a rough number to accept but oh well. Amanda had a big sunrise party for me and a few of my college friends and work friends came, along with some family. Was an exhausting day followed by a long SPL build day yesterday. Thanks again guys!

Mark, also talk to Troy Audio, he is in the area and a good installer.

wow nice score!!

Put the new Sundown subs up on the shop. Look like promising little subs based on specs alone. Makes me want to a 10" comparo hosted by SSA.
