December 19, 200816 yr Nice; looks like meen little buggers. Would you class them as "LOUD SOUND QUALITY" woofers?any idea on what size box is required for the soon to be 8's pls?
December 19, 200816 yr Admin No 15's?Price on the 12's?no 15's in this line. Price will be very reasonably placed in the mid $100's. We'll post exact prices when we decide on them.
December 19, 200816 yr Yeah you guys got these out so quick. Put em' up for sale soon, I want one NOW.Thank YOU!
December 19, 200816 yr wow great news!Great news... Dont forget to keep working on those 8's aswell Congrats to SSA on another Speaker line
December 19, 200816 yr I've always wondered why everybody measures T/S with the coils in series? Granted these are relatively low powered subs so chances of a consumer wiring two in series/parallel to bridge to a 2 channel amp are greater, but it seems most consumers these days just wire everything in parallel since amps are getting cheaper and stable at lower impedences?
December 19, 200816 yr Author Admin The 8's are still in the process, and we will have them out as soon as we possibly can. As for the goal and purpose, the SSA dcon is a "sound quality" type of driver first and foremost. They are very accurate and clean in sealed especially in the optimal sealed box sizes we listed on the dcon page. We feel that the dcon will really make its mark on the segment by being a smaller ported box driver that will surprise, especially on performance per dollar. So they don't require much power or space to sound great and have gutsy output.Probably will do another SQ combo with a pair of them and a Sundown amplifier. With the wattage the SAX-125.2 (500+ watts) is capable of @4ohm mono, it will be a very nice set up for sure. :) Very happy with this driver for sure.

Probably just one of those standard protocols.

December 20, 200816 yr I'll second that, I was waiting for something like this with this kind of price tag on it. I'm gonna put it in the optimized sealed enclosure with 400watts running to it at 2 ohms. I can't wait
December 20, 200816 yr im going to try as hard as i can to get my friend to go with the dcon over the type R he's got on his mind.
December 20, 200816 yr Admin im going to try as hard as i can to get my friend to go with the dcon over the type R he's got on his mind.type R's, yikes!
December 21, 200816 yr im going to try as hard as i can to get my friend to go with the dcon over the type R he's got on his mind.Good luck, my neighbor recently came to me asking for advice for some hard hitting subs.He wanted 2 12's, but was on a tight budget. So I told him to get 1 Fi BL 12" and I was gonna help him out with a custom ported box. After all was said and done, he told me his friend recommended 2 type r's cause 2 12's is louder and better sound than 1 12. I told him to never ask for advice from me again.

It won't change them to measure the coils in parallel.

So they don't require much power or space to sound great and have gutsy output.This needs to be added to the website. When I look at subs, I'm looking for its main intent. Volume or quality. Ideal enclosure type and size. And finally power.Also, how much do these weigh? I can't find weight specs on the site.
December 24, 200816 yr Author Admin I will add a write up for the dcon's, just like the icon's have. As for weight, I will have to get back to you on that.
