Audioque HDC3 15" VS SSA ICON 15"

I ran a 15" Icon on 1000 watts, sounded soo good. Regret selling it to this day.

I'm planning on buying one once I get the money, but I am still stuck between the Audioque and ICON.

The icon's are out of stock so you won't be getting a new one......the aq is a great sub, can't go wrong with either

The new Icon prototype is done, but we are still a bit a way from production. Is it was sort of explained in earlier posts, you are comparing two different subs in terms of goals, design, power handling, target market etc. etc. If sheer output at a discount price is your goal, the AQ is the choice of many on here. The Icon is a sound quality biased design that loves the larger ported boxes tuned low. It does have the ability to get loud in the right install but was not designed as an SPL competition sub woofer. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thank you for this sensible response.

Hahaha you can't compare the two I'm sorry the icon would be a class down from the hdc3.

Is that so? In what way? Love how your categorizing a foreign made SPL sub above a USA made SQ sub. You are essentially saying that Orange is a step down from that apple......

Efficiency over force man you won't regret it.

I can't believe this thread is still alive. I ended up with an AQ, but I still see myself hopefully getting an ICON whenever the money comes to me.

Not saying they have high prices whatsoever, I'm just broke as a joke now :l
