I tried to be easy on it. The one time I turned it up it pooped. I got it from robotunderground earlier this year on eBay. I "heard" he he swapped some components out of them and they weren't original brahmas. But I'll chalk it up to user error. I'm just excited to get back into ssa and I'm glad to see a hot product line. Ever since RE sold to us amps I've been looking for a new sub. The Fi btl 15" I used to own I had to sell a while ago. Wish I didn't! An Adire Audio Brahma Mark IV. It's blown. The Icon should be a little more abuse tolerant.

Sorry to revive an old topic, but I didn't know any of you came down here for scrapin'. If any of you come down next year let me know. I live in Biloxi.

I don't trust myself to make a box that nice. Might as well throw one of those into the shopping cart.

Do you mean khaotic enclosures? They are a part of SSA, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Andrew from Argent Audio has access to a CNC machine and gets everything cut to spec and built for them. The thing that makes them aimed towards a specific driver is the volume, tuning is setup for daily (~33hz). So if you have another driver that needs xx amount of volume and a khaotic enclosure is close to that volume requirement then your good P.S. You'll love your icon, I had two, worst thing I did was sell mine I don't know why I was thinking Kinect... was reading about the xbox 360 kinect right before the post. Yes, Khaotic.

It feels like waiting for Christmas to round the corner :/. I keep checking for the shipping status and it's still being manufactured. Patience for quality is what I keep telling myself. A little off topic from this, but I wanted to know more about the kinetic enclosures. Is Kinetic a SSA brand? Are the boxes designed around SSA subs or just general volume and tuning designs for most subs? I wonder because I have a prefabbed sealed enclosure from a local place that is 1.1cf and I want to get rid of it.

I use an Arc Audio KS1000.1 and it sounds great. If you look into upgrading your amp one of those could be a consideration.

Is there an adapter so I can use the factory XM antenna in the 2009 Accord with an aftermarket headunit and it's XM module? I have the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD head unit and am getting http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...ite/GEX-P920XM. I just want to avoid having to run a new antenna.

I'm considering keeping the factory amp with the 8" driver and I bought a harness that works with it. I just dot know what the rca's from the harness plug into. Maybe the head unit I assume? https://metradealer.com/api/vfg/view-product/id/70-1730

Okay thanks for the info guys. I'm expecting all this junk in my signature next week and needed to get caught up on whats what electrically. Never hooked up a DVD player much less into a newer car with a factory amp.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12841_Metra+40-HD10.html What is the blue line on this adapter for?

Is that for motorized antennas or is it necessary to power the antenna on?

Fixed the link.

x2. Check your ssf and gain on your amplifier. Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll lock in an icon this week. The gain was maybe at 1/4 at the most. I was only doing 800w @ 4 ohm. The sub should have been fine. I heard he changed out the voice coils and other parts from members at diymobile when I did the research.

I got shafted by robotunderground with a dank adire audio brahma 12". It died after about 6 months of use running it on an Arc Audio 1000.1, 800w @ 4ohms. I researched about his frankenstein subs after the fact unfortunately. So to the point at hand, I haven't really kept up with what current drivers are out there and what is quality since I would say 2007 or 2008 when I got a Fi BTL 15". I've been looking at their 12" BL, RE SXX 12" and the SSA ICON 12". With all the objectivity you have, can you say I'm making a sound decision picking up the ICON? I keep hearing when US Amps bought out RE, their product quality diminished. I loved the Fi sub I had, so I poked around the lineup there. I like the specs on the ICON. They seem to suite what I want to come from a sub. I guess I'm just asking for that extra push to go ahead with the purchase. If it helps, I'm looking for a nice mix of spl and ""SQL"", but leaning more on the ""SQL"" these days. I still enjoy a loud driver, but I have developed the desire for a clean, precise sound. I don't want to replace my amp so the sub needs to able to handle the arc audio ks1000.1 I'm using.

Was wondering when Fi will have them posted here. Also, does anyone have any for 1 15" BTL @ about 3.5cf with a slot port?

I joined here this past February, but never really posted or visited much. I'm back to read up on what is new, as I am going through a change in my subwoofer and sub amp.

Haha. You built up a fortress there.

What's the difference between the previous XXX line and the new one?

Awesome job. I wish I could have gotten my box built correctly and my wiring done right, I would have loved to throw my XXX 15" and Cadence ZRS-8 and Koda 6.1/US Amps into a competition.

Get a HO alt.

Very nice setup you have there.

I find Trick Daddy - Nann Nigga slams pretty hard on my XXX 15".
