I'm trying to get more SPL out of the 12" Mag claw, I know it's more geared too SQ, but I wanna see how loud I can get it. Also, is my enclosure too big? I noticed my bass is a little muggy. I don't know if it's the box or if my LPF is set too high. I believe its around 90hz. Might be a mix of mp3 quality and song choice, but sometimes my bass sounds like a hollow knock if that makes sense. I'm running off a Cerwin Vega EXL-1200D @ 1ohm. Rated 1200rms @ 1ohm. I only have a 115amp alt. so I know the sub isn't seeing that much power.

Once I find which tone is the loudest in my car, do I tuned my port to that freq?

I do not have a meter, all I have is a DMM and my ears lol and can get test tones from ROE

I want 2 !!!! I'm going to sell my 12" Mag Claw and box. Please follow through with these...If you send 2 my way for testing, I slap a SSA sticker on my forehead and wear it around for a week lol. I already have one on my car and don't run your stuff anymore lol

Mark just shipped out the first GB orders the other day, people should start to get them any day now. Can't wait

How much longer before I get my Bravoxs from the first group buy before it was extended?

I just placed my order for a set of the CX50K! Have you received the money?

I'll be sending a payment soon for a pair of the CX50Ks. That's 82 shipped, correct?

I need help with designing an aero port enclosure. This is my first attempt. I am looking for 2.5 net and tuning 32hz, With corner bracing. I would appreciate all help I can get! Thanks.

Hey, my enclosure is 2.2 cubes and tuned to 32hz for the 12" icon, but that feeling of upgradeing is kicking in. Instead of selling it, I want to make some more enclosures for it to keep me occupied. I need a few plans...so what volume and tunning would you recommend. Give me some ideas...

well that's a sale to me lol, I'm suprised they're still so cheap.

yea I'm fine, my car wasn't even that bad. The insurance adjuster called around and couldn't get any parts so he claimed it as totaled. And now I heard about the sale you guys are having on the icon !! lol

Well guys it's been awhile since I visited this site.....but about a week ago I totaled my car! So there goes that project.... maybe i'll retire the icon for home theater use

I have about 1100rms, most likely not seeing all of it since I only have a 95 amp alt. For my frontstage I have pg rsd6.5cs getting around 75rms.

Alright thanks alot..also, for some flat out sq what would you recommend for sealed and ported. I want to go from one extreme to the other and see what I like more. Spring is almost here lol.

I have 4 ed ehqs8's i'll sell you, brand new never powered up.

Well I think i'm addicted to car audio and it's fun building the enclosure and installing everything, but it always seems there's something better out there. You know that feeling when you want to try something new to see how it will sound? Well I want to see if i'm into spl or not because it seems i'm right in the middle with the icon. It has some great sq and gets loud, but i want to see it get loud where it hurts your ears. Maybe build an spl box and see how I like it. I was thinking on the smaller end with a lot of port area. I kow the icon is a sq woofer but I think it has potential to get real loud from what I see at 32hz. What are some options.

How much power you giving it, how big of an enclosure and what vehicle is it in?

I don't know if its my settings on my headunit or if it's my songs format (data and mp3) but i'm starting to notice most of my songs sound like crap. I set my gains with my volt meter and the low pass is set around 80hz and no bass boost. My enclosure is 2.2 cubes tuned to 32hz and i'm thinking maybe its too big? One song I noticed it bottomed out and I set my gains to volume 52 with a -4db 40 or 50hz test tone I believe, I was only playing the song around 34-38. I can turn down my eq on my headunit but then my frontstage midbass is not even being used. Do I need an external equalizer? and smaller box since it bottomed out? I mean the song Young Jezzy "You know what it is" sounds crazy loud and sq is reall nice, I can hear every different bass line in that song. My doors even push in and out. But I would like all my songs to sound good instead of just a couple. What's my problem here? frontstage: PG rsd6.5cs frontstage amp: PG ryval v752 and running the 12" icon of the jbl gto1201.1

umm it kinda sounded like a pop, its kinda hard to describe. I know it's not the cd skipping because it happened when I was turning it up from 30 to around 35. What else could that sound be except it bottoming out?

Hey i just got my 12" icon D1 in last week and i must say i like it! It's in a 2.2cuft box tuned to 32hz powered by a jbl gto1201.1(1100rms rated) with 0 gauge knu wiring. It slams the lows like crazy. My last setup was a pioneer 3004spl in a 1.75cube box tuned to 32hz. Now the icon is classified as a sq woofer but it blows the pioneer out of the water in both sq and spl. I love how i can turn down the gains and lpf if i want some smooth clean bass and then set my gains to 40hz @ -6db and have bass that literally rattles my rearview mirror right off. I am very impressed in my purchase and for 263 dollars shipped to my door with a sticker lol you can't go wrong. Although i noticed some rock songs sound a little sloppy and a little to rumbly, but i think it's most likely my cd's since i have them in data format and have cheap rcas. Next week im ordering some rca's to see if thats the problem. I'll have pics up when i get home.

Hey finially got a hold of a digital camera. Heres a couple pics of my setup.

Right now I have a 2.2cubes @ 32hz with 34.50sq.in. of port area with 1100rms for my daily driver. I want to build a pure spl box and a pure sq box before the winter comes. I have 34inches in width and 13inches in hieght. I need to know the tunning, port area, and cubes for each enclosure. I heard spl enclosures should be small and have alot of port area. I'm not sure what kind of boxes I should build so i'd figure i'd ask here since noone knows the icon better than you guys, Thankz.

A 1999 saturn sl2, I want to build a SPL box to see what numbers the icon can put up, i need a little more info than tune higher, I already know that. I need to know how much port area and how many cubes i should use. I'd figure you (the owners/team members) already know what I need to compete. Also I want to see the best sq i can get out of the icon too.
