Based on your power I'd go icon

The XCON will be louder than the ICON on the same power.

The XCON will be louder than the ICON on the same power.

how is it going to sound though with the aluminum coil.if it doesnt sound as good as the icon,then i would be wasting my money.looking for SQL

By everything I've read, the XCON is the way to go if you're looking for SQL. The ICON is very musical, and has a very unique sound signature. The XCON pounds, and sound pretty darn good doing it.

It is a win win. Both sound excellent in the proper enclosure. They just have slightly different characteristics to their own sound.
