Mag will work the best probably, but is also 2x the cost. If your looking for a nice sounding budget driver you cant go wrong on the icon tho. the sx sounds like wet butt in my modest opinion.

If you have questions on the icon shoot me a pm and ill try to help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yea my sx used to sound pretty bad untill rich (stratus) built me a t-line and it totally changed the osudn of th at sub..it sounds pretty good now..so i cant imagine what a sub that is supposed to have a sq will sound like in a similair box built for two..i think those icons look pretty well built

I'd love to here the icon in a tl, im sure it would sound amazing. Also the Icon's build quality is right up there with the mag //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not to mention....12" Mag's are next to impossible to find

but that would be my vote..2 12" Mags=secks

Trunk?

Transmission line?

I'm more curious about that, personally...

its not one of those huge t-lines..its chambered t-line..bout the same size as my old 4 cu ft box..

My vote is wait for the new Mags, will be cheaper and I'm sure the SQ will be phenomenal.

Chambered transmission line?

 

[Firmbiz94 10+ year member]

yes a chambered transmission line...Rich (strtus) built it for me..i watched it from begining to end..i dont build boxes..but thats what he told me it was called and i believe thats the same box he held the world record with..so im pretty sure he knows what its called since he built it

I think its kind of like a ported box.
