What do people think, the Icon or the OZ?

the matrix will probably do better small sealed but the icon is a beast too..

its up to your personal preferance.

oh and if you're cool like me you can make a subwoofer. haha check out my link in my "current setup" for the TCON...

its a tc9 motor that i reconed with 10" icon soft parts. turned out better than i expected

What would the differences in the Oz and the Icon be then? Sound and volume wise I mean. I wish I could build a sub, I could take apart my OEM 10/ IS-101 and figure it out I guess though..

The Oz Matrix I found on ebay was going for 129.00..

denim, what enclosure do you reccomend?

The suggested box size ranges are on the ICON webpage.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Just figured I would ask denim, you said you could help with enclosures so I thought maybe you had more ideas.. Now, time to decide between the icon and the Oz..

Well if you choose the ICON 10, you can start about .75 and add some stuffing to the box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

The Icon and the Q 10 inches are **** sexy, love the way their dust cap meets the surround. You can't go wrong with you sub you choose though. Let me tell that the Q gets pretty lound and sounds really smooth in sealed boxes. Haven't heard the Icon yet but, I bet it's a great woofer.

Well, the only problem is that I found the matrix for real cheap so I don't know if i should get that one or the Icon. $150 for Matrix and $250 for the Icon..

Hard call, the Oz Matrix is a great sub, either way you'll be fine go for what ever fits your bill and needs.

It's either that or buy some stuff to finish up my nitrous setup in my car.. The OZ is only 50 more then the type r I have though.. Does the icon or the OZ have better SQ?

No marks or scuffs.....a great sounding woofer.

The oz is considered a "BABY IDMAX" I am not familiar or have ever heard the ICON personally....but the OZ me PWNS the TYPE R in SQ....I installed a type R in a 350Z and it is a ***** to make sound flawless.
