Posted November 24, 200816 yr Admin This will be our midlevel driver. 300-400wrms(range) sub, specs etc will come later.
November 25, 200816 yr Admin Not in yet, and I am at the office all day. Plus Mark has to work also. This model is meant for people who want the clean response of the Icon, but do not want to run as much power or as large of a sub. Also, we badly needed a high quality offering that was less expensive then the Icon.As the Icon is what brought the SSA Speakers to market, it set the bar for all our future drivers. So with people being very happy with the sound, we had to address the two groups people that ended up steering away from the Icon when it came time to buy. The first issue was the people wanting to still have the sound of the Icon, but wanting to reach insane levels of output and higher power handling, not to mention a jump up in Xmax. The other group of people were ones that did not want to spend in the $200's for a sub woofer, but still wanted top notch sound. Because of our age and size as a speaker brand, we cannot offer the prices that a company like Rockford Fosgate, who build thousands at a time over seas.
November 25, 200816 yr Admin Forgot to mention, we had been planning this driver for a while, but had moved the Xcon up in order. So the time to production will be some what shorter after prototypes have been fully tested and any changes or adjustments. I have a good feeling we will be very happy with these prototypes for the Dcon, so we should be able to reach production before the Xcon. The Xcon is taking longer due to the large amount of steel needed for the motor.
November 25, 200816 yr I'm glad I was in the market that liked the Icons. I'm sure the dCON will be a spectacular woofer.
