sweet I am really looking foward to checking out those 21's

I have two questions... 1. How much power can a fully loaded BTL take daily? 2. I plan to get an ia40.1 amp and run it on a 16 volt charging system. The setup will be in a blowthrough box in a 92 GMC. I am only worried about getting extremely loud. Which of these setups would be better two fully loaded btl's or three "stock" btl's?

just wondering if there was anyway to boost its power handling to about 2,000 watts or so.

I was wondering if there was any options available to beef the sub up a little like FI does.

Just wondering if their will be any available power options on the 21 dps when they are unleashed on the world?

This may sound kinda newbish but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the formula for getting the true surface area of a sub.

I know its a little off topic but is there anywhere online where I can by some felt to do some fiberglass work and is there any specific kind of felt I should use.

I'm just wondering where you guys get your speaker box carpet from.

I gotta find a camera that I can record vids with. lol I'm gonna fiberglass it this weekend I'll post pics then. Can't show it off til its done lol. I am gonna post it all as soon as I can though.

I finally installed my icon 15 in my truck. I had tried it in a friends box but today i put it in the console box I built. It bis 3.75 cubes tuned to 32 hz. I LOVE IT!!! It flexes my roof and all four windows and still sounds very clean. Just wanted to thank everyone for talking me into getting it instead of the kicker L7. Also thanks to SSA for making an incredible sub.

any idea what kind of output you're getting at 0.5? I know its gonna vary from setup to setup but I'm just trying get an estimate.

First of all, is the 40.1 still in production because I tried to find it on the website and it wasn't there. Secondly, can anyone ballpark what the 40.1 is rated at 0.5 ohms?

I just got my icon 15 last week and it weighs in around thirty lbs. so 3 10's shouldn't surpass your 100lb. limit. By the way the icon is a very incredible sub. Mine is in 3.5 cu. ft. tuned to 32. It gets crazy loud and is possibly the best sounding sub I have ever heard.

wrong...the entire port needs to be (1) inch longer than 7 inches...im looking at the formula where is that formula located? Could you post a link please?

I am planning a box design in which I am using two 3" aero ports. The ports are supposed to be 7 inches long. My question is when using aero ports does the actual tube have to be seven inches or does the entire port assembly (flares included) need to be 7 inches?

How do you bend the wood for your flared ports?

I was about 2 start a topic on this also. I am gonna be doing a blowthrough with 4 of the new ssa 18' s. What would be the best way to do this. I have the exact same truck as 18BTLnBagged bbut mine is single cab. Any help would be really appreciated.

I have heard before that port noise can be increased if the port is too close to the sub. Is there any legitimacy to this?

I have thought about this before... how do you get 2 ohms 0r 1 ohm outta 3 subs?

Thats pretty cool. lol Funny as hell though. Thanks for all the advice I can't wait for my sub to get here now. I'm building an all wood console then covering it with fiberglass and a paint job. Its gonna be awesome.

Hey man thanks but whats up with the pepto? lol! Just wonderin

Alright thanks everyone. I am about to order the ssa right now.

Is it $50 worth of better sound is the question. I don't mind spending the extra money if it is really gonna be that dramatic of a difference but I'm just looking for the most bang for my buck here.

Finally I am looking for a 15" sub for my truck. The box is going to be about 3.75 cubes tuned to 33 with appr. 1200 wrms. Here are the two subs I have narrowed down to... 15" Kicker L7 for $185 shipped 15" SSA Icon $230 shipped I have never heard an icon but I have read great reviews on them. I have dealt with kicker for a few years now and have always been satisfied with their subs. My question is will the ssa icon be noticeably better street beating than the L7 even though the L7 has more cone area.

Just because your amp is rated for a certain amount of power doesn't mean you have to send the sub that much power. So I adjust the amount of power going to the sub by adjusting my gains, or is there another method
