Ok, this is where I have to step in. You are not being trolled. You have some tremendously experienced and knowledgeable people in this specific concentration, some even more so than me, and I own SSA, so that should say a great deal. SSA is simply one of the longest running audio forums period. It is still active and full of tremendous info because it DOES NOT allow trolls and is staffed with top tier people. Physicists, engineers, sound quality competitors, brand owners, car audio fabricators, SPL competitors, the list goes on. There is no better audio forum staff simply based on merit alone, I would know, I am on all of them and a staff member on most. So I would highly suggest you take a moment and read what is being added to your topic and understand what they are saying to help you with your system. They don't have to do this, they are taking time because they love car audio and you asked a question. All that being said, let's start from the beginning. Keeping it simple is usually the best method if you are going for clarity and performance. When you start introducing so many speakers into a single system, and so many components into a single system, you're headed for issues can complication that you can't just EQ out. Too much in the pipe line can cause issues with the signal to the amplifiers and too many different speakers can cause cancellation and wild reflections, this is not trolling, this is simple fact of acoustics, especially in an enclosed chamber like a car. So please take a moment and consider the advice some very talented and experienced members and staff have taken the time to offer, before you instantly discount it. Now in the end, all that matters is that you are happy with the end result, but you'll increase your rate of success if you take some of the advice being offered here.

We have the space, food, and drink if you come through.

We will eventually make it to CO and hit the slopes and get you to do some work.

Thanks. It helps say thanks to our customers, and it helps future customers, and it will make my life a pinch easier when I can just point to the reviews.

Ahh yes, a lot of detailed shading.

Just the style you are referring to, doesn't have to be a totem.

Can you show me an example of what you mean?

I vote run the Icon you have now, then we figure out how you like the performance and adjust the box and tuning from there.

to SSA forums and glad you are going with our subs.

Welcome to SSA. Love the classic #SAAB. As for the system, not sure your goals as you have a lot going on.

Thank you.

How does this sound? Until further notice, we can do $3 SSA Store credit for each honest SSA review. Requirements: Clearly written and punctuated properly. Minimum 2 paragraphs. Actual personal experience with the product, through owning it or extensive testing/usage. Maximum 11 reviews per user for SSA store credit, or $33 total (to avoid abuse of this promotion) #larrybird Send me a detailed PM with a link to all your reviews, include your SSA Store account email address for me to apply the credit to. If you have reviews prior to today posted, I can apply $1 per review as the above requirements were not set forth until now. Any other suggestions? I approve reviews every day (and delete spam), so the turnaround would be quick.

So in your case, then I hope you never get to review our stuff.

I can't transfer from the forum to the store, (separate software not linked). If you want to copy and paste that would be great.

Reviews from the boat?

You are not losing out too much at all. The optimal boxes are more kind of my preference, in terms of if you have the space, clean power and want fairly flat response.

Smaller box = less efficient. So yes, if you shrink the box a good amount, it will be able to soak up a little more than we rate them at normally. More power will not effect the sound.

Give it 1000 and call it a day. Doesn't need that much. I have run much less for extended periods.

74 degrees out of no where, 2 days after 27 degrees and snow. WTFmate.

Triple stack motor structure? The Icon has been rated between 900-1250rms over the years, so the difference isn't enough to worry about to be honest. Are oyu asking in terms of amplifier to use on it?

Great sub. That is right around a model update. Can you post a picture and I can tell you right away? Enclosures have stayed pretty much the same from day 1. Side note, on a future model, I will decreasing enclosure size a little.

I haven't decided if I want to just sleeve the whole right arm, or do a mirror on the left.

If you do, give me a heads up, I have a code for them.

Great posts Jared.

Nice, take that $45 and throw it in something safe, and spend another $5 on another scratch off. Haha. Or if you want to play along with me on the stock fun and put that money in something good, I am on stash and Robinhood daily.
