Posted February 7, 201015 yr Doing a install and have 400 watts to give substage and want to use one of the ssa woofers. Going to be in back of suv,ported box,listento mostly rap . What would be a good match? 1 dcon or 2dcons. Or a single icon
February 7, 201015 yr No need to run an icon with that little power, one dcon will still be barely stretching it's legs on 400 watts.
February 7, 201015 yr Do you ever plan on upgrading to more power later? If so i would say go with the ICON, but if not stay DCON it will be good on 400. I run a 10" ICON on a 125.2 Sundown (roughly) 3-400 watts and it still hits really well. Would like to get about 1KW on her though!!

Going to do 2 12" dcons ported at around 33hz. Will do a build post when I get it started.

Cone advantage is priceless i've never heard a comparison of, for example, 1 12" on 500 watts compared to 2 of the same 12" on the same 500 watts. does it really make that big of a difference? i thought it wasn't much

Wow
February 8, 201015 yr i knew it would be SOMETHING just not that big of a something It also depends on the subs being used and setups because not always will 2-12"s be louder than 1-15" but most of the time yeah it should with the same amount of power being used in both setups.
February 8, 201015 yr thats pretty sweet. ive heard the same about doubling the power, does that have about the same rule?OP sorry to thread jack, ill leave it alone here and figure it out somewhere else Edited February 8, 201015 yr by watts09
February 9, 201015 yr More cone area = more air movedExcursion goes down + efficiency goes up = SPL goes upIf you have the money for 2 drivers and want to use the space for 2, the answer is clear
February 9, 201015 yr No need to run an icon with that little power, one dcon will still be barely stretching it's legs on 400 watts.Actually, I couldn't have been happier with my Icon on 300.

February 10, 201015 yr 2 DCONS would be very impressive. I have a DCON D4 10" in my wifes car and it is more than enough for her and very impressive on the SAZ-1000D wired at 2 ohms.Either choice is going to be great! SSA FTW!
