New AA SMD Woofer

Recommended Posts

Straight from his website...

"i was supposed to have my proto-pics today.......and im sure i will - i wanted to wait till i had them before i finally said something. Ill give you what i have though.....

i will not be running Fi anymore. I am switching to AA - but it goes a little deeper then that. It will be AA's biggest, baddest sub - and it will be the SMD edition. I am waiting for the specs to be done on it so there is some T/S (i think im supposed to get some) but i can tell you it has a 4" coil, power handling will be rated at 3500rms, not the standard basket (like my RE's and Fi's) but a different one. It should (of course) have tinsels IN the spiders (to avoid past issues), and be one hell of a beast.

My own proto's should be in the Tahoe SOON and ill be making videos the DAY they show up.

Availability, mid to the end of January. Hopefully sooner but that is how its looking at the moment.

pics will be posted as soon as i get em!

(here is what the dustcap is supposed to have on it, except the SMD part will be blue)"

"not sure on pricing, its gonna be a little more then a BTL, but this sub is also a little more then a BTL (and weighs substantially more too).

OK here is the pics, subject to a few tweeks between now and the day they ship.......the ACTUAL motor will be taller then this. Same width as the current new BTL motor (11 1/4") but double stacked with taller slugs and a rubber boot. "

Looks to be a pretty nasty subwoofer. I believe this is the same basket that the LMS Ultra used as well but im not positive.

To me that basket looks like the LMS Ultra too. That ought to be one mean woofer. If it can handle the abuse and power levels htat he subjects them too, then it will an awsome package.

kind of disapointed its a aa not an fi. someone around me needs to start carrying aa.

What does it matter. Fi doesnt have dealers either. AA and Fi are both owned by Scott and both run by him.

Where do you live at? I know of a dealer in the mid east coast. And Steve himself will be selling them so you will be able to contact him for purchasing as well.

if you can order one directly from them thats cool. i thought aa was strictly a dealer purchased sub and fi there online company with slightly diffrent products.

Yes they are technically different companies but owned and operated by the same guys. Fi is more towards customization of speakers and AA is geared more towards dealers who cant customize woofers.

And you can order directly from AA as well.

Today at work, I believe the most amazing thing of my life happened. We might start carrying AA, John asked me if I knew anything about Ascendant Audio, and I almost fainted! I told him Fi and AA are owned by the same person, and he knows how badass Fi is from me. I really hopes he goes through with it. :)

which costs more......a loaded BTL, a Mayhem or one of these special editions?

BTL/Mayhem should be similaly priced in the US. The SMD sub, that'll be fair bit more.

you cant order AA directly, its a dealer based sub you need to go through a dealer to order AA subs... Fi you can call and order directly from them... :)

For bigger orders I do believe you can actually, granted it is the right size. And I meant you can order them through the dealers that carry AA. I didnt mean call them up and order 1 or 2 subs.
