Im running a Sound Stream Rubicon 1600d amp and I very recently (7hrs ago) ordered a single 15" Icon to run in a ported midgate Avalanche enclosure that I will soon be having built. Im second guessing myself because I now feel like the single Icon wont provide enough SPL. Im thinking about canceling for 2 Gcon 12s. Ive never personally heard either sub besides from watching youtube vid and forum customer reviews. I'm a 60/40 sq/spl but from time to time I like get my breath taken away. Im not sure what 15 icons hit on meters or double gcon setups but if it means anything the loudest set up I've ever owned hit 140.6 with 2 Pioneer Premier SPL 12s on a Directed 1100d in a prefab ported box in a car trunk. It was plenty loud for me but didn't have much if any sq but didn't sound bad at all. Will a single 15" Icon be capable of getting as loud or should I just give them a call Tuesday morning and get my order switched before they start building. Only reason I ordered the single 15 icon over the 2 12s gcon is the $110 price difference on top of getting a better sub. I will have both midgate enclosures built to SSA recommendations for optimum performance.
2007 Avalanche. I ended up switching to 2 gcon 12s the day after labor day but after reading the other responses today I wish I sticked to the Icon 15, smh
