[QUOTE="Mitchc1113, post: 8662089, member: 675173"] Well like I already told Aaron, I did go ahead with the Icon. Literally went back n forth all day, dont think I pulled the trigger until almost 9pm. What finally tipped the scales was Neil Boswell from Soundqubed gave me a very honest answer & said if I went w/ the HDX3 & kept it running of my S1-1250 that he didn't think I'd notice that much of a difference from my HDS3.1. He said if I'd throw 2000+ watts at it then thered be quite a difference. I appreciated the honesty, upgrading to a 2000+ watt amplifier would mean I'd have to also upgrade my electrical, HO alt and secondary battery. I've already done my Big 3 and plan on adding a HO alt and secondary battery at some point, but not right now. So at that point the HDX3 was out of the picture and there was the pretty Icon, BUT me being as anal as I am I of course had to spend another hr or so looking for any other quality subs on sale. I was very interested in the IA Lethal Injection but couldnt compete with the Icon @ $230. Then of course Aaron had to go ahead and put the Brahma on sale. I was extremely tempted to get a Brahma, on sale for I think like $350, very very tempting, it's the 1 sub from back in my earlier days I always wanted that I can still get my hands on today, assuming they're still as good as the originals, which was 1 of my hesitations, seems like the new owners are staying very true to the original company, but you just never know. So I decided against the Brahma. Then my last decision came when I saw that FI was doing a "Happy Hour" sale that brought the SSD down to $220, once again I go back n forth, back n forth until finally I decide I'm gonna stick with my gut and original choice in the Icon. Should be waiting for me when I get home from work tomorrow, cannot wait to get a look at this thing! [/QUOTE]
