Better than SSA Icon

[Wkbdkid 10+ year member]

In the proper box they wont lag . I played some techno when i had one for the short time in my truck an it kept up with it very well. The stuff you're asking bout it being peaky an the subs lagging all has to deal with the box. In your truck it might be a lil hard to get the proper size ported box for 2(depending how much space you wanna give up), so go with the recommended sealed box. That will yeild great sq an will generally be less peaky than a ported box.

The only thing im concerning about the icons is if they go lowd enough. I have 2 10" Infinity 1050W subs and they dont do the job for me. My speakers keep inclining as i turn it up but the woofers cant keep up

The Icon is in a different class then the Infinity. Not saying anything bad, but just look at an Icon compared to the Infinity.

 

But the most important thing here is the mixture of the quality of the box they are put in, the current provided for the amplifiers to power them, and the increase in cone size.

I am not saying anything bad about them. Just trying to point out, some what in a reflection of what Electrodynamic said about internet based brands. SSA is still very new to market, so we cannot have customers pay for the name and then the performance. The Icon is all about performance, no flash or bling period, no point in adding cost to a driver that does not add performance.

I think the Icon's look beefy and they look very well built. I'm sure they are subs that are louder, but a box has a lot to do with sound of a certain speaker. I think you would be happy with the Icons and just about any other company that is well known on here. Sundown, Incriminator Audio, Stereo Integrity, Mach 5, SSA, FI and a couple others I can't think of.....They all make great products. Look into those companies and see which products suits your needs and your budget. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

I modded the box in the thread I earlier posted. the width can now go all the way to 19". you can go back and take a look at it then tell me what you think
