Exactly, as in I will not listen to a sound track from a musical on my Icon. :P

whats ur thoughts on the rd sonance 15... have a guy on caraudioforum.com trying to sell me one... he emailed me this after i posted about getting an ICON 15:

I have a nice deal on a better sub if interested. GURANTEED or your mney back

RD Sonance 15 V.2. New to the line and rated 1000 rms and has an aluminum voice coil 50mm. Can't beat it. $325 with warranty

That guy will not give you your money back, I can promise that. Just get an Icon and be happy!

here is the last message he sent me:

I gurantee it. We actually had a head to head with the ICON (1000 rms) and the Classic (500 rms). The guy who did the test ran the Classic at 2 ohm and ICON at 1 ohm on a memphis 1100d. The Classic was louder in a sealed box sounded better and in ported the ICON was .2 louder and they sounded the same. That is with our entry level, you bump up to the new Sonance and it is going to be nice

Did he happen to tell you he is breaking terms of service to spam you with an advertisement? Did he happen to tell you that he has been banned from multiple other websites for pushing product on people? Did he happen to tell you he has never heard an Icon before so he has no clue or room to comment on it? Did he happen to tell you the Sonance will not have the bottom end or the clarity of the Icon because of the aluminum voice coil? Did he happen to tell you the long running issues with their build house and fit and finish of their drivers? Did you happen to see the serious price premium for what he thinks is a better sub?

Wow he loves to lie to make a sale doesn't he. That head to head he is talking about was a test done by a member here named Kent, goes by the user name mrray13. The person who messaged you failed to tell you the truth that the "head to head" was not between the RD sub and the Icon, it was between a Mach5 sub and the RD sub. Lie #1. He also failed to mention the RD sub was well broken in, and the Icon, which Kent had just received in shipping, was spanking new, fresh out of the box with very stiff suspension as all new Icons come. Lie #2 Next, he was not present at this head to head between, mind you, the Mach5 sub and the RD sub. Lie #3. Next, fresh out of the box very few drivers are going to put up a high number on the termlab mic. In addition, rms ratting has nothing to do with the level of sound or quality of a sub woofer. Also, are you going to trust someone who guarantee's and item but cannot spell it?

You don't have to answer that, just showing once again what kind of rep/dealer/spammer/lair he is.

Oh I know, I am just making a point. No worries. :)

I would run like hell from anything RD exclusively because of who and how they do business. It isn't nearly the sub that the Icon is either.

kinda like ED? dont u have an icon in ur truck?

Actually first an Rlp, and then the IXL. If I change vehicles though I will be using an Icon.
