Programs like that don't instill much confidence in me. Especially when the exercises are constantly changing, ie: "Have to shock the muscles." Complete bullshit. I also flipped their nutrition section, and found numerous bullshit tips, such as: "you need eat a meal every few hours to stoke the metabolic fire." Why not just do a split routine, and learn how to keep your nutrition in order for your goals? There is merit to what they are saying, but programs like that have to be watered down and simplified for the masses. What part? It is good practice to not stay on the same routine for long, as in cycle weight/reps/rest etc., in essence "shocking" the muscles. Small meals spread out through out the day is supposedly easier for your body to break down and people can tend to eat less overall calories. I didn't purchase it... But I'm just doing it as a guideline to learn some exercises because I fucking hate the gym. I love the gym, look forward to it. Each little bit of progress gets me motivated for the next workout. It truly is my ONE hour just for me, during day light hours. Yet, I find myself answering PM's and Google+ messages most days I have no Idea what I'm doing in all honesty.. lol.. We did Insanity/p90x in tech school and I liked it... well hated it but liked it. If you have someone like me, near you, that can kind of bring you along with ideas and some sample work out's, it will make a difference.

Having a good day, strange to say that.

We are looking into it now.

Yes, all Gcon parts in stock. We are only awaiting parts on Dcon's.

They are built to order just like your Icon and Dcon.

THANK YOU for your order. Ryan is correct, the stated 21 business day lead time is about right. Some drivers are going out faster.

When you mention that the Gcon is more flexible on the enclosure why is this? The reason I ask is that getting exactly 2.25 CF for the Dcon may be tough for me since I've never built a box before. I'll be close but by the time I add bracing that isn't accounted for in the calculation I could be 5%-10% off. It'd be much easier for me to get within a range than dead nuts on. I did not mean you have to be dead on to the specs. I meant that the Dcon is a fairly low Qts. sub woofer, and in most cases, they will lean mostly ported, and in this case, smaller ported enclosures. The Gcon has a higher Qts., so you have a little more flexibility with sizing across the range of both sealed and ported. In no way does this mean the Gcon is a better driver based on the Qts., it means it is a different sub woofer that likes different enclosures.

I believe we have two Dcon 15's hiding somewhere.

Happy wife sometimes leads to very unhappy self. Anyway, as for the enclosure linked, hard to speak on it as I have not used those sub woofers to know their preferences.

Hard to know for certain until installed. If it does once installed, consider a battery in addition to the big3.

The Dcon has the cone advantage, and the Gcon has the Xmax advantage. Both have no problem with range of frequency response. The Gcon just has higher limitations and a little more flexible on enclosures. Power wise, you are fine with either.

I don't blame you. I am the same way.

Nice review, well done on music choice.

There are more people than you might realize that run sealed Xcon's. Not sure why, but on average, the higher output people post more. We have plenty of people via email and the occasional PM that are running Icon's/Xcon's sealed and are super happy that are not as much a forum go'er's. In a generalization, many single sealed installs are people that want to do it once, get it right the first time, and not worry about it again until they replace their car.

That's the scary part. made by sundown? Is that the new relationship? Don't think so. AT bought a company called Atmos Audio. They were a small subwoofer manufacturer that had a section over at CSCO. I am certain the owner of AT has no sub woofer engineering or acoustic background to design a sub woofer. Getting to be to many cookie cutter start up companies lately. I talked to one of the guys who ran 1 of the EXO's which will be the top level sub rated at 2000 watts. And he said the suspension is really loose on those subs as in you can bottom it out with your hand loose. Also he said it would get stinky real quick. That is probably an older unit when Atmos was owned by Kevin Holden.

Sound quality is subjective for the most part, but the Xcon can sound excellent with out question in the correct enclosure. It is impossible to predict termlab numbers with out testing or having a nearly identical set up in the same car.

Fell in love at 0:27-0:29, and then again at 1:26-1:28.

I believe the 8" Neo Pro's should be in later this month.

When I used to deadlift, I would do it every week. I never went for weight more than I could do 5 times in a row though. Some people will tell you once a month, but I know Olympic guys who would do a huge heavy 1RM and then do light deads another day. Hell they did powe cleans too and that is just a dead lift + extra shiznit. I would only NOT do an exercise if it caused me pain. Not soreness, but pain. Hooray deadlifts I was reading some lower back safety article and got the same advice, 5 reps, maximum weight. Thanks to the mix-up at work with the gym passes I missed 3 deadlift days and had to drop down the weight a little but I'm back to 1x a week. Funny thing is not many people where I go to the gym do dealifts. They are all huge from the waist up. Not many people do dead lifts in comparison to everything else a gym has to offer, for what ever reason. I've been doing a 5x5 program suggested from Starting Strength by Rippetoe, but I'm only doing 145lbs. Dead lifts are one of the more complete singular exercises, but form is paramount.
