I need to recone an icon. What glue do you recommend that will work for the spider,surround and dust cap. Something black. CA glue?

Not done yet

Ordered it from simply plumbing

How do i delete a post

They are wanting $40 a month now for a third party hosting. A month?who the hell would pay for that. I found a different hosting site. I will be posting my bild progress soon

So i bought some 6.5 evils to swap out mt HEX 6.5 components .. and was planning on changing out the evil tweets soon as they are available and was gonna use the HEX crossovers. But was told on a different forum that the evils won't be as good. And most likely wont work well with the hex xovers.. should i sell the evils and keep the hex? Your thoughts are appreciated =D. Ty

I was running a single 12 with the diamond hex and it sounded fantastic together. I'm adding another 12 so I'm thinking I'm going to need a little more out of my front stage. But I'm also upgrading my front stage amp. And going from a Pioneer DEH 7900 BT. To the 80prs. From what I'm hearing it should be night and day sound difference if I go active On the new head unit. As long as they evil mids and tweets can perform as well as the hex... and if I can find a way to remount my mids giving it more airspace Maybe vent it into the hood area a bit.. right now it's sealed off in very little air space. So if I can change all that stuff hopefully the one set will be enough. That's my plan man. Thoughts?

This is where my current HEX are now. I was hoping I could mount one set here. And perhaps building enclosure for another mid. Placing it under the dash next to the console. But I don't know if it would work well to be in different enclosures

How are you posting pics. I was using photobucket but they shut down 3rd party posting

So if im running 2 mids on one channel at 4ohm and the amp is 100watts at 4ohm. Does that mean there would be sharing 100 Watts.. do you think the amp listed above would be adequate for that situation. Sorry for my ignorance.. Amp specs. ....v..v..v 4 Channel Class A/B Amplifier RMS Power Rating: 4 Ohms: 100 Watts X 4 Chan. 2 Ohms: 150 Watts X 4 Chan. Bridged, 4 Ohms: 2 X 300 Watts Signal-to-nose ratio: >90dB THD + Noise < 0.5% Channel Separation >60dB 12dB HP/LP/Full Pass Crossover RCA and Speaker Level Inputs Variable bass boost control Frequency Response 15Hz to 30KHz ±1dB Input Sensitivity .25v to 5v Compact chassis Dimensions: 6.29"(W) X 11.8"(L) X 2"(H)

Felt seems good. Ill try free air

So about a month ago I received my new icon. And a recone for my old icon. I plan on going from a single 12 to 2 12s in the process of building an enclosure. Anyhow.. so I did the recone. Dropped it in the Box ran it for about a week to break it in. And it sounds fantastic.. Heaven ran it hard yet. Probably never fed it more than 700 clean unclipped Watts (if that) anyhow it sounds great. So I pulled it out and dropped in the new icon. Breaking it in just like the recone. Sounded great then yesterday I started noticing a "slight" buzzing/scratching sound at a certain bass note at high and low volumes. A specific song would come on, and would have that bass note and I could hear it every time it hit. As well as a few other songs. I hope I'm just trippin and maybe I just had a wire rattling loose or something. It just sounded an awful lot like the coil rubbing. But I would think I would hear it if I move the cone in and out by hand....but it does not make any sound when i do..Either way I had to pull out that single box cuz I'm trying to fit a new box in there so I really wont to know until I get the box up and going and get both subs hooked up.. any thoughts?

That's perfect. So here's my next question. If I'm running to mids on one side up front. Do they need to share the same air space. Or, if not sharing the same airspace I'm assuming they need identical airspace?

Great info. I think im gonna get this amp http://www.woofersetc.com/st-4x-p-zapco-4-channel-480w-rms-class-ab-amplifier.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwutXIBRDV7-SDvdiNsUoSJACIlTqlDxkaULKIFdgThoiwA3ulUcyWIbcgsE3hLwMK6J06zBoC3dXw_wcB To match my amp for my icons. And sell the hex set.. and get ssa. Can i run 2 sets of mids and one set of tweets with that set up? If i feel like i need more than one set of mids?

Cant delete above

Thats great. Im assuming i can only run "one" set of the mids n tweets tho

If i run a 80prs can i run evil mids n tweets off a 4chan with no dsp or xovers

What's the efficiency percentage on these amps?

Reconing in older icon with a new icon recone. I'm seeing some slight differences tinsel leads. Spider. Spacer between magnet and motor. The spider Landing.. http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/jjzickowski1/recone/20170621_175141_zpsqmxrjuai.jpg][/URL] }[/img]

How many sets of components ( evil 6.5 in tweets )can I run off of a 4 channel amp and a mini DSP.. The amp is 100 x 4 at 4 Ohms

icon blew me away.. id say gcon

Ok i uploaded a new size. I think i can fit that im there. More port area thoughts

Okay so here are my plans new enclosure for my rebuild. Below is a picture of the single icon 12 I currently have and it's enclosure which is 14x14x34... 2.4 cubic feet. , tunned at 29.5.. I plan on adding a second 12. And building a Aero ported enclosure ..and the box specs also shown in the link below.. View Album, http://s1244.photobucket.com/user/jjzickowski1/library/box Now that box volume and tuning is what "I think" is ideal.... based on my desire to get louder and more SPL... but I am often wrong..this will be my first tunned enclosure build. So I have a few questions. Does anybody see anything that looks like a bad idea.? Those are the maximum Dimensions that I can cram in the back of that car without losing a functional back seat. And also do not include the extra 3/4 of extra baffle on the top.. or any volume displacements that I will lose Inside the Box for bracing. the box is still bigger than I'd like.So let's say I was to lose 1 cubic foot of net volume.. how much will that affect the sound... I hope what I just wrote made sense lol
