I paid cash.. I will see if they have any real updates first before I do anything

I am not trying to be rude by any means. I pre ordered the Wardens a couple months ago, paid in full, knowing that they were supposed to be here by the end of the year. I called IA for an update a week or two ago and they said the price of neo is to high so they haven't bought any yet and they have no eta at this point. I am kind of frustrated by it since I was told I can't get a refund or switch to a different product or even a different size of Wardens. It kind of seems like bad business practice if you first tell someone who is paying for the product when they are going to be building the product but then say they are going to wait for the price of neo to drop before they are even going to be building any... Some sort of real update would be kind of nice..

I had training on all this about 3 years ago when I was in the navy but then never used it again so I don't remember how to do it all.. I only have a DMM here, no o-scope.. Well, for some reason the gain dial broke inside my amp, good thing I have hardly used it.. I will have to exchange it for a new one and try it more, I got this one to 38 volts, supposed to be 36.1 so its not to far off, I was playing 45 hz after i set it to 38 volts and it sounded just awesome, so loud, I am very impressed that a single 10 can get that loud.. I will actually go make a video of it right now..

Thanks, I need 31.6 Volts then... Time to download a 45Hz tone.

Just curious as to what setting you put the DMM on to check the watts or what the math is that you have to do, I have never done it before. I am not a professional watt tester or something lol

I hooked up my type r 10 and the it didn't get nearly as loud or play as filling of bass as the Icon did, the icon was only at half gains on the rf p1000bd, it almost seemed like the Type R was really hollow or something. I played Speaker Boxx by Outkast and the type r hit pretty well but it just didn't sound that great, (also, the type r is dual 4 ohm so I hooked it up at 2 ohms and turned the gain all the way up, the birthsheet says 825rms @ 2 ohms) then i swappedthe Icon back in and turned the amp down to about 3/4 of the way up (700 watts if the amp was not underrated, birthsheet says 1310 rms @ 1 ohm) and I put Speaker Boxx back in and I couldn't handle it, it was shaking everything in my car and making my eyes blurr and vibrate and it was making my face itch and my ears tingle a bit again. it was hitting crazy hard for a single 10 and it is not even broken in yet, the type r definitely has more play time on it then the Icon does.. Hope this helps some of you out there, I love the Icon. I will be buying more.. The only other sub that I have had that has done this to me is the 12W7 but I would have to say it doesn't sound as clean as this Icon 10. Oh, by the way, both subs were in a 1.25ft^3 ported box that is in the picture in the rides section in the 02 Trans Am. Thanks again SSA for an amazing product.

Thanks, I put some pictures in the soundsolutions link that was given to me. I will also be having my car in the rides section on ssa. I may be putting in my nitrous this weekend again also.. I hate people that say they are going ot buy something then they don't.. Took out the nitrous for that reason.

How do I upload pictures on this site? I see the add images things but it just shows where you can add a link and not actually upload a picture.

The problem is, it is getting cold out here in MN and my car is only a weekend cruiser at most so I never really listen to it, I am going to take some pictures right now and get them emailed to you. to post in the rides section.

It finally came this morning from Mr. UPS himself. I got that and a new box today. I have a custom ported box with dual ports tuned to 30Hz. I hooked it all up to my rockford p1000bd and I couldn't get the rca cables to reach so i gave it a slight tug and ripped the cables. So I just took the rca's off my speaker amp and hooked it up that way, didn't know what to expect, it is in a trans am. I turned the gains half way up and just stared at it for a while lol. Then I figured it was time, time to shut the hatch and sit down and play a bit with no door speakers. It sounds incredible, it is so so loud, shaking everything inside my car and shaking the mirrors outside my car and rattling stuff off the walls in my house and at the same time it was playing everything so crystal clear and fast and accurate. I love the sub, I got it warmed up and smelling for a good 15 minutes just playing everything I could think of.. then my ipod went dead. Let me know if you guys can think of songs that are usually more difficult for subs to play. I am getting new rca cables after work and also hooking up my type r in the ported box to see how they compare (if they do, not so sure they do though) I will have pictures up when I figure out how to set up the email on my new blackberry. If anyone knows how to do that help is always appreciated. All in all, I wouldn't go back and buy any other sub but this one honestly. I have had many subs but I don't recall of any of them hitting this hard and still sounding this clean, this sub was making my hair shake and my nose itch and was starting to make my ears tingle and the sub is brand new and only played for about 20 minutes. Sorry for the long review but I know not many people have these subs. They are absolutely awesome and I will be buying another one for the other vehicle I own. Any questions, just ask.. Thanks again SSA and cheers on making an amazing sub. Craig

any idea how much your friend charges for tuning for nitrous?

MMI is Motorcycle Mechanics Institute. I have pictures of it in my signature at caraudio.com/forum. My screen name is rezac, I will try to figure out more how to put it on here.. car looks sweet dude if you're looking for a mechanic when you get here, my friend owns a shop that specializes in LT1/LS1 cars. he does great work Awesome. I don't have the nitrous back on it yet, someone said he was going to buy it but never did so I am going to put it on then I will need it re tuned. without nitrous I put down 393rwhp and 374ft lbs of torque. It is very good to know people that do tuning and such.

My video is coming in about a week and a half,the sub will not be broken in yet though..

I am from Minnesota and in January moving to Phoenix area to go to school at MMI. I have a 10 type r at the moment and the icon 10 i on its way to me as we speak. It is going into an 02 Trans Am WS6. I have a rockford p500.2 powering my alpin typ r componnt set and a rockford p1000bd powering the type r 10. I have a new box on its way to me also, it is 1.25ft^3 with dual ports. I will get pictures of everything when it is all here.
