I broke my Icons......took 5 months of serious punishment but I was finally able to kill

them....but it took well over 3200w rms of clean power to do it....

anyways...time for a rebuild

I was in a hurry to get the bass going..I'll take some better recone pics with the next one

and ya they are seriously over powered...(understatement...LOL)

Wow

poor icons...

ya no kidding....it's a really BIG amp....LOL ...80 pounds worth

ya no kidding....it's a really BIG amp....LOL ...80 pounds worth

you have more amp than icon sir!

nice. what glue are you using?

I was a little hesitant about this stuff at first but it works really well..

the recone looks really good and I'v been pounding the hell out of it all day

the sub on the left is the recone..the sub on the right is the SSA built one

my bead on the dustcap isn't quite as shinny as the SSA one

a slight visible difference of glue color

Me too. Can't wait.

Just put the order for your other Recone in. Shouldn't be too much longer.

I really need to add that 3rd sub...the two are putting out as much as they are capable of

that's it...there's no more go

I think the three woofer box is gonna kick good but I see some X-CONS coming soon...

considering the quality of power I am running maybee a pair of 15"

If I may ask, What part gave out? VC, former, what?

voice coils were fine..I was un able to smoke them even with full power

the only damage I could do was launch the cones past the limits of the spiders

basically if you blow a ICON with out launching it out of the basket with 2X the rated RMS you have

done something wrong...very tough little subs

Crazy!! But glad to see them holding up that long to that level of abuse.

just an Idea on the punishment the ICONS can take compared to some other subs I have recently used

I shreaded 5 JBL W10gti subs in 7 months...

blew 4 RF T212D4 subs in 3 weeks

and one set of ICONS has lasted me over 5 months

not only are they reliable they are very tight and detailed sounding...I have a couple systems driving

around town with ICONS now...they have a distinct rolling thunder sound to them when they are

coming and going
