The "X"con 12" prototype has arrived

[visitor 3]

i know it is just a prototype, but i really like the look of single dish cones like re audio, and ascendant audio.

but as for the rest i really like what your going for.

i like subs that handle alot of power, but can still have a nice broad range.

kind of like 2400rms on a single eclipse sw9122, it is a thing of beauty.

i was almost about to perform a sin in my book and buy a 13av.2 to give a try.

but i am defiantly going to wait this one out instead.

i just bought an "a". ed hate or not, its a product, and im sure interested in trying it out! i will be interested in this woofer as well, but for a diff. purpose i think:D

wow you and a ed product imagine that! man i miss you on the roe. in a non homosexual way lol.

im not. ben is a jerk. but, the woofer is cheap, and im always game to try something (im even getting a mag!) so, hey why not. and ya, dont care to reregister there, its a shame.

[acex3a 5]

wow that thing is a beast!

def gotta hear this thing, its huge!

[stovebolt6 3]

the price is what was getting my attention also, but i think i am going to hang on to those particular funds, and wait out to see what this new ssa eventually turns into first.

How does this stack up to the Icon, more SPL less SQ is my assumption, but I don't really know. It is awesome looking and unlike others I like the dustcap, should be an absolute beast.

Maybe there getting ready for a new basket? I hope so.

As I see the proto 8 is getting a new one, why not this one?

I think they should, get some new stuff in the market, I mean, the Icon has been making a huge name for itself, now get a new, innovative sub that dominates and they will have one of the best line ups there is.

x2 there. we agree. i would be interested in a new frame as well.. if it didnt hurt the pricing much, AND the woofer needed it! im curious to see how this woofer pans out, and certianly hope the best for ssa.

True, if they can do what they want SPL, SQ and excursion wise with a 12 spoke keep it versus raising the price for a different basket. I would like to see a XXX type 50mm+ Xmax sub from SSA

I'd love to see a comparable sub to the XXX come out without near the price tag.

well considering that you are getting something that is really one of very few that can do what it does.

it share very little technology from other subs with tons of R and D.

i don't think the price is bad.

if you pay msrp then yes it is crazy.

but all you have to do is find a dealer on a forum, take about 6 months or so to become good friends.

and then you can pick up a 15 for 1000 to 800 bucks.

and that is a good deal when you look at what it is.

This is a little offtopic so excuse me, but I believe that the 12" XXX in 06 direct was around 650 bucks. Now thats what I call a pretty good deal for the sub.

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

So far my first impressions of this is....well.... I'm very happy with it. Out put wise, and SQ wise. Thats all I'll say for now.

to me ............this sub looks like a btl got horney over an ava and we ended up with this.....lol.ava dustcap +btl mag

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

ugg i hate that dustcap, lol. sub looks great man. really does! best of luck with it

That dustcap is just for the prototype for right now. Appearance is rough because it is a prototype.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

How does this stack up to the Icon, more SPL less SQ is my assumption, but I don't really know. It is awesome looking and unlike others I like the dustcap, should be an absolute beast.

Maybe there getting ready for a new basket? I hope so.

As I see the proto 8 is getting a new one, why not this one?

Tooling new baskets are very expensive. At the moment the basket this prototype is using is fine for what we need.

Yulp, SSA is got it going on.

Any chance for a amp line or two?

lol.

We plan to expand into amplifers down the road, but we want to get our driver line up solidified.

This driver is not in the same segment as the very expensive RE-XXX.

[ford302redneck 15]

I figured that. But if that basket works, then theres no need to "waste" money on another one.

That sounds look a very good plan. Can't wait to see this company grow.

This driver is not in the same segment as the very expensive RE-XXX.

Yeah, I was just stating that. The driver looks very promising, even enough where I would might buy one. With me saying that, means Im very impressed.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Thanks for the kind words guys. Think of it as an Icon on steroids.

KAKOW :drink40:

[Philanthro 0]

So the goal here is to have it sound as good as the Icon, but get even louder and handle more power?

[ford302redneck 15]

What type of coil does it have?
