April 17, 200916 yr lol, I like how people freak out, like they are not going to be able to buy another sub. If they don't like the one they bought or get.

Our 18" XCON seems to be a perfect fit for SQ & OUTPUT. Can't loose with them. Plus they look really really good
April 17, 200916 yr what type of music, what amp, what vehicle, ported or sealed. yada yada yada.This is still a prevalent question. One you still need to answer.

April 17, 200916 yr Admin 18's ported are around 6.25 - 10.5 cubes and 26-34hz tuning is a good range to get started. Our show truck is tuned to 31hz and a number of people feel that is the sweet spot.
April 17, 200916 yr for a little less space try the Icons...4 cf3 before displacements...I also looked at FI, on Termpak they are a real pitchy SPL sub..SSA subs look A LOT better on the graph...Super low end response and SQ beyond anything I've ever came across....My vote would be, that if you acually like to listen to a wide variety of actual music.........Go with SSA! Icon or Xcon depending on any space issues.
April 17, 200916 yr Admin With 700 watts or more it is a win win regardless if you choose the Icon, Q, or Xcon (even IXL and RL-p for that matter). All are going to produce excellent sound in a proper enclosure. The differences are in the details in which drivers strengths will play better to your goals and how much in the end you want to spend. There are countless positive reviews on all the drivers I mentioned above (outside the Xcon as it is totally new to market). I would love it if you choose our driver, but I am not going to lie and say it is the only good option. The Icon and Q are both more driver then most people need and neither lack in low end or output regardless of sealed or ported and trust me I have plenty of time with both. The Xcon is a power step up from that, but also more expensive.

April 17, 200916 yr If you are going for output and SQ then SSA is the way to... Ive heard the Icons and the Dcons and both of them surpassed my expectations... Im waiting to hear the Xcons.. I know that I wont be disappointed. If you have the 2-3K then I would say Xcons all the way....
April 17, 200916 yr There's a couple around here that have used them....haha OTHER than the owners of the company One off the top of my head....http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=25752Not dissing anyone at SSA. Honestly my next subs WILL be yours cause of how you run this site, give unbiased advice (well, as much as you can lol), and i haven't read one negative thing about your products or you guysMe personally, I'd go with the XCON, but no matter what your getting a good prduct
