Posted November 26, 201311 yr Soon I will be getting an SUV, and I need some ideas. I want some loud bass thats impressive but not like competition grade i guess. My idea for a setup is Enclosure: http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/ported-dual-12-subwoofer-enclosure.html Amp: my current amp, 1700 rms at 1ohm. Subs: maybe 2 SA-12s wired to 1ohm. I was wondering if maybe 2 Gcons or Icons would be better in that box, or maybe two sealed SA-15s in a different box. Or one sick 18 sealed, just help me out here.Im trying to save space and dont want a huge box. Just send me some ideas please. I just want the most bass for my space, and money.
November 26, 201311 yr How much room do you have to work with? Thats gunna be the main factor in deciding what you should get.
November 26, 201311 yr Author Honestly, I would like to buy a box tuned around 32hz, like the one I have in the link, so 4-6 cubic feet, I would like to stay towards 4 tho.
November 26, 201311 yr Yeah your best option would be to do 2 12's or 1 15. If I had the decision I would most likely do an xcon 15 or if your not looking to spend as much then grab an Icon.
November 26, 201311 yr Author Do you think 1 Xcon 15 would out do the SA12s on the same power?I would get this enclosure http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/ported-single-15-subwoofer-enclosure.html maybe even get a better amp eventually that can push it further, but by then I might just upgrade to a Zcon in the same box.
November 26, 201311 yr Its impossible to tell what will be louder but if you ask people on the forums I can guess they would take an Xcon 15 over 2 sa's. I have heard through people that the sound of the xcons are real nice and they get loud.
November 26, 201311 yr If you do 12's I'd much rather have the Gcon vs the SA. As for 12 or 15 it somewhat depends on what you are willing to do for a box. Cone area is never a bad thing, but foregoing the port doesn't make sense for your desires IMO.
November 26, 201311 yr Author Okay, I really do want good SQ too, I just love loud music, most of which is rap.So what do you think, 2 Gcon 12s. or 1 Xcon 15I am not looking for hairtricks, (although that would be sick) I just want to have really loud bass that most normal people would consider "way to much"Xcon 15 - 1750 RMSor... the cheaper, but higher rmsDeath Penalty 15 - 2000 RMS I still have to say for just about the same room for the box, 2 Gcon 12s might give me allot more bass.And I could always upgrade to Icons and a better amp if I ever felt the need too.

November 26, 201311 yr Oh yea and you should look into the DSS ethos, you can have one for under 350 shipped. If you have seen big jons build or anyone that has reviewed them you would see that they are a good bang for you buck.
November 26, 201311 yr Where can I find a new one???Go the the vendor section. Direct Sound Solutions.
November 27, 201311 yr Author il stick with something on the store I am leaning towards 2 12s, but I really dont know how well that 15 will perform.
November 27, 201311 yr 15 will perform great. Have a 15" Xcon in my boat and it can seriously do the job. Of course, so can a pair of 12's. Personally as I said before I'd determine the box that "fits" the best and choose that way.
November 27, 201311 yr Author well both are going in the back of an SUV and there really is no preference, I also want to have the ability to turn up and really impress but for the most part have a loud but quality sound system.
November 27, 201311 yr well both are going in the back of an SUV and there really is no preference, I also want to have the ability to turn up and really impress but for the most part have a loud but quality sound system. a pair of icon 12's in around a 4 cu box.mine tuned at 30 hz.they will get loud if needed and sound very well also
November 27, 201311 yr Author Okay, but my amp is only 1700rms, and the box is: http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/ported-dual-12-subwoofer-enclosure.htmlSo icons? I could always get a new, more powerful amp as well. I am thinking about getting Icons now. Edited November 27, 201311 yr by Dangercdv
November 27, 201311 yr If you have the budget get the icons, if you want to save some cash get the gcons. Can't go wrong either way.
November 27, 201311 yr Okay, but my amp is only 1700rms, and the box is: http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/ported-dual-12-subwoofer-enclosure.htmlSo icons? I could always get a new, more powerful amp as well. I am thinking about getting Icons now.That would still power a pair of Icons nicely.
November 27, 201311 yr Take advantage of the sale and get 2 icon d1's. Gcons are on backorder not the Icons. Edited November 27, 201311 yr by pmureika
November 27, 201311 yr I don't have exp.with the other SSA subs.But they hooked me with the icon.I would go with the GCON if it fits the budget better I promise they will not disapoint
