Hello. Found this place while doing research on my first sound quality type build. Lots of great info and ideas here. Always loved car audio, just finally got to the point in my mid 30's to want something that actually sounds nice rather than just goes loud and rattles your head lol. Anyways, nice place you have here! Brian

I would seal it up and run the Icon in there. I just put an Icon 10 in a 1.03 cu ft sealed box with a double baffle and some bracing in the back of my Accord 2dr and it sounds amazing. I thought about getting the Gcon, Im running 1K watts and I liked the idea of the Icon being rated for more than Im running. Id rather have something over-rated and leave myself with some headroom later, and peace of mind knowing Im not pushing it to its limits. Im sure either will sound great.

Ok, thats what I'll do then. Not worry about it. Thanks for the help!!

Did a small build in my daily driver and have no dimming of tail/dash lights at normal listening levels. I occasionally listen to it moderately loud when Im in the mood and when the double bass drums hit heavy or the bass guitar digs deep and loud I notice a faint amount of dimming. I just wondered what my next step would be to get rid of it altogether? Here is a list of what Im running. 02 Accord EX-L V6 Coupe with a stock alternator and the car already had a few month old Optima Red top in it. Pioneer AVH4300DVD head unit Phoenix Gold Elite.65cs comps up front powered by a JL A2150 SSA Icon 10 in a 1 cube sealed enclosure powered by a JL JX1000.1D @ 2ohms 4ga power from the battery to a distribution block on the back of the enclosure, 4ga ground to a rear strut tower bolt about 1ft of 4ga power and ground from dist block to sub amp about 2ft of 8ga power and ground from dist block to the front comp amp, mounted next to the sub amp on the back of the enclosure Upgraded the "big 3" with 4ga Better battery? Alternator? Dont worry about it? lol Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

At high volumes with heavy lows it drops to about 12.4 or 12.5 at the lowest measuring at the dist block with a digital volt meter. It hovers around 14.3 to 14.5 back there with everything turned down.
