So this is the big boy! Again, this sub woofer comes in the same kind of box and crate, to secure shipping. This thing is an absolutely monster! So you have the ICON, that's really pin point accuracy, then you have the move out the way sound of the zcon, now with this, you have the immersive sound pressure that literally surrounds you with its destruction. From top to bottom, this thing rocks! I use to ask the question, does lets say, 150 decibels sound like 150 deciblesl in every vehicle. Finally with this sub woofer I can tell you HELL NO! This is such a different sound, that, myself have never experienced. I've been competing now going into my second year, and I've been to a lot of shows, listened to a lot of different setups, both big and small. Nothing has compared to this sub woofer.
The sound is so heavy, like, you can literally feel the pressure and air being pushed away in your vehicle, searching for a outlet. This is even crazier in my setup, I'm actually loudest sealed, and it sounds sooo good. When I roll down the windows, it creates a weak point in my roof, and everything just starts moving like crazy. Even from 20 feet away, you can hear this subtle boom...boom... sound that is very warm sounding, really hard to explain. It doesn't sound muffled, it isn't heavy on any side of the spectrum just a really loud bass in your face. I would say it sounds like the zcon had a baby with the icon, and added a bit of Thor's hammer in there and boom, you have the Evil.
I have absolutely no cons to this driver. Unless you want to consider things like the weight, or enclosure size. It is one of the costly sub woofer though. And not just by itself. You are going to want more power, which is more electrical, which is more cable, battery, alternator, etc. But two things, A) Its WELLL worth it, and B) This thing doesn't NEED a ton of power to get loud. I myself tested this and put 600 watts on it, and it sounded amazing!! I suppose the only other con would be the terminals. They are sill only 8 gauge, I thought maybe this is the only size maybe that is offered, but this isn't true. Its quite frustrating when placing large gauge wire to the sub. Not that its a deal breaker, especially in a daily scenario.
One thing is for sure, this thing can take some serious power. I find myself often want to turn it up more, but my electric is the only thing holding me back. The cooling is something amazing. Just this year, I took a 12 hour drive to FL for SBN2013, and I did NOT take it easy on this bad boy. I played hard, very hard for hours at a time, in about 83-90 degree weather, and this thing just kept hammering away. SSA did a great job on this one.
