So I downgraded...sorta??

Recommended Posts

well after along time of driving my brand new truck around with a ton of weight in the back, two monster 15's and a huge box, batts, amps, etc...I decided it was time to get back to a single 12". Plus with John having his truck so close for demo's, and that truck being above and beyond loud IMO, thought it was time.

Found some great looking prefab's locally here in Phoenix, so decided to try one out. Here are the specs of the box.

Width - 18.250"

Height - 16.000"

Depth - 16.000"

Internal Volume = 1.769 ft^3

Tuned @ 37.089 hz

Port Area = 25.8in^2

Everything seems about right with this box ecept the tuning is a little high, but all and all I am really amazed by the SQ of this sub. Haven't heard an ICON in a while since i've been working so much with the bigger line. Damn, I love these ICONs. Anyways, on to the pics.

I think its a nice looking box, not too big either. But don't she me these things, I have been tempted to buy an Icon for a while now and haven't pulled the trigger. I was hoping that a radio alone could fix my problem but I know deep down inside that I still need an Icon. I still don't have either though. :(

Just curious, have you heard the Icon sealed or IB? I have a feeling you'll be really pleased at what it can do then ;)

not IB but in a sealed box yes and yes that did sound better. but for a prefab box it wasnt half as bad as we orginally intended thought it sound sloppy.
