Icon 15 Vs. Xcon 12

[mwoehr 1]

I've been curious about the Xcons for a while now. How much louder are they than the Icons? Would an Xcon 12 in a 2 -3 cube ported tuned to 33hz powered by a Sundown 1500D be louder than an Icon 15 ported in about 4.5 cubes tuned to 33hz powered by a Sundown 1000 watt amp?

This question in a sense is a "loaded" question. Of course cone area plays a factor, install plays a huge factor and power plays a factor. I wouldn't even venture a guess on this question unless I had them both in the described setup to compare. Sorry I can't be of more help, it's just one of those questions that has an opionated answer.

If budget is a factor, I would go with the ICON combo, it it's not, then go with the XCON combo. They both hit hard. I would say in my opinion that maybe the XCON will hit harder, but again, thats just my opinion and not necessaraly fact.

x2, something is telling me that the 12" Xcon would do a little more than the 15" Icon but I think that would be a close fight (that would be a good comparison if someone owned both subs and would be willing to test them out).
