The reaponse on the older version of the icon is intensely accurate! After hearing numerous sizes of the redesigned icon I would have to honestly say the design should've never changed mechanically.

I wish that I could get an identical recone for the one that I have now that I bent the coil on by being stupid & careless.

I hope to get a video of this posted up soon. Aaron I hope you're open to the idea of bringing back this model of the icon. It truely is a masterpiece & I am very proud to own one!

 

I am open, but it depends on if we need to make a huge order of motor builds.  Side note, the Gcon is not far at all from the original Icon.

Holy crap this digs deep. I even get roof flex with one 15! It's been 2 days now on 2200 rms @ 2 ohm. I've been real careful not to have the over excursion that I had with the last set up. I gotta get a video of this up soon.

Find a meet up spot so casey and i can meet up with you and hear it.  Let you hear ours and what not.  Grab a beer or something.

Still to this day I have never heard anything as clean as this version of the Icon. In the right enclosure these things are like ear sex & get unbelievably loud! My last metering with two 15's on 3500 rms was a 150db @ 32hz!

my last metering with the original Icons was 143.6db @ 10hz...... WITH FOUR 10"........ on a Crown A3000gti

that set up was so flat the output only varied 3db from 10hz to 35hz.... the flattest response I have EVER seen with ported subs

 

 

still KICKING myself in the ass for letting them go

 

the only thing I would have changed on them would have been the surround... I was ripping them off the cone

I would have went with a higher rolling surround and called it a day.... awesome woofer

 I would run a pair of 12" if they were the original design with the   non sandwiched leads  , black spiders

...only change I would want would be the higher rolling surround

I loved my 8 18 icons doing 157.9 at 36hz on 6500rms. 

 

Jay c and I are working on a project together and it may just be EVIL..........

Still like new after all the beating it's taken. Had to jam some classics, Young Bleed & Paul Wall. I was going to play a scale from 30-50hz, but that kinda boring on video...lol

I remember burping a 144db at 10hz with my four 10" at a comp a few years back...
