how LOUD is the ssa icon 10"? or even the dcon
I plan on getting the 10" ssa icon sub with the saz-1000d amp and was wondering how loud exactly it's going to be. loud enough to rattle the whole car? and even how loud is the dcon. I just want something for decent bass nothing too overwhelming. Also what would the icon be compared to, and what would the dcon be compared to.

listen to.... they have SICK lowend output that will shake every bolt in the car for example..take in mind SPL was not intended for these vids my goal was strong low end that could shake my fillings out of my teeth and some good SQ and another one with two Icons a single 10" Dcon powered by a Sony 500w amp hit 137db on the dash in a Dodge Spirit trunk (33hz tuning)...very respectable output for a little SQ sub the Icons and Dcons have their own sound...very smooth and insane low end so far the Icons have the flattest response out of any sub I have ever played with...very nice stuff |
so if I basically just want to add bass to my music, but decent enough bass then the dcon should be fine then yes? the icon will be too much for my car lol don't need to be shakin the whole damn thing.

with over 400w rms I would use the Icon.... it won't be to much on your amp...I was running ALOT of power and the enclosure was designed to perform as such the Icons sound awsome even at the lowest volume levels |
trevor can u make a video with music instead of a bass cd plz?
If I was to go with one of those 2 subs I would go for the 10" Icon as it seems like a solid sub! |
basically my issue is my friends are telling me that there's no way I should put the icon in my car cause it's 1000w rms and the amp is going to be pushing that to the sub blah blah blah too much power. So is there a way to wire it so that I don't have to put that much power to the sub?
|
You don't even need special wiring...just don't turn the volume all the way up. Your volume control determines how much power your amp delivers. If you don't max out your v knob the amp will never deliver max power to your sub...assuming you don't have some ridiculously clipped signal or some another anomaly.

if the amp is 1000w rms it's a perfect match...with a decent box and some properly adjusted gains it's all good you can wire the coils to drop the output if needed |
ok, that's what I was looking for.....wiring the coils to only output to a certain wattage I guess. BTW how much do you charge to build a box?

i hate to keep asking questions but what would the dcon and the icon be comparable to? I heard the dcon = w3? and even the icon = w7? I definitely could be wrong but I would just like to know.
|
the SSA subs dig much stronger on the low stuff than the JL subs...
as far as SQ I would take the SSA's take in mind I tested the Icons for 6 months before I took on the product line and they did nothing but impress...... |
bang for the buck I would run a Icon over Jl as I am one those guys who sees Jl as being too expensive for what is it!
|
Go for the Icon
|
The Icon is a solid woofer and the price is good... And if you get a PTS combo you get $50 off.
|
ok perfect.....I was looking at those as well. Now all I need is an amp for the sub. Now I was just going to go ahead with the maybe the saz-1000d that's listed in the soundsolutionsaudio website. Would the Icon be comparable to say a W6?
|
one other question.....is it alright to mount the amp on the sub box itself? or have a seperate place for it, say the backseat.
|
also lol for that sub should I get a sealed? ported? and how do I determine what to get the box tuned at? it's going to be going in a 02 sentra if that helps.
