Depends on your car, but since no one seems to understand, just throw that sh!t into winISD and decide what you want. |

"srly..." yes i got a good price and i think they are kinda sleeper's not many people rock them. plus they supposedly have much better sq than the SX i will try to get them metered sometime once im up to full power and let you guys know
cam i drive a 2000 Chrysler 300M (its like an intrepid) it has a very large cabin and the subs and port will be firing into it. let me know if that helps. |

"the sx's are louder then the icons..."
by a noticeable ammount tho? Mark, the owner of SSA said that the SX would only be louder by tenth's on the meter. but that the icon has better low end and over all better transient and tonal response. not sure if hes just tring to sell me on these or if he actually knows what he is talking about.
i will sacrifice tenths on the meter for the supposed much better SQ of the icons. however if the SX's are going to make a noticable difference in SPL i would rather have thoes.
is there anybody here thats has heard both?
is there any conclusive proof that either is louder? for example a test of each in their ideal enclosure? |

alright im buying subs friday so i need to decide by then. i just want to wang real heavy and have decent sq and do that in ~4.5-5 net cubes on 2200rms @1ohm.
i want to hear someones opinion whos heard both the sx and icon. or anything else for that matter that they think will outperform for under 500shipped for the pair. 12's only! |

Chauncey Brown knows his stuff and has been around the block it seems with quite a few different brands so if he says the sx will be louder than the icon then id listen to him but as far as the resonant engineering stats they are decent and im sure it would be no slouch...I picked resonant engineerings entry line 12 to experiment with on low power for a reason  |

I wouldn't listen to Chauncey or Mark of SSA. I'd get what I WANT not what someone else tells me I should get. Decide for yourself, it's not the hardest decision in the world.You can always buy the other sub down the road or just get both now and see which you like better and then sell the one you like the least. |

Rob Chauncey didnt tell him what to get he just said it will be louder. As far as Mark of SSA well I wouldnt call him unbiased on this topic. |

No hes right about that. I'd get the icon as I would want SQ and low end response more than SPL |
