Ascendant Audio Arsenal for Home Audio Use.

[JazzScreamer 1]

Hey Guys,

I have two 10" Arsenals(Gen. previous to the current model) in my truck at the moment and will actually be down sizing things in the near future with a pair of 8" Assasins. I just bought a home and was thinking that I might be able to use the Arsenals in the Home theater. The room is approx. 12' X 20'.

I do have a Dayton 1000W sub amp I bought from Parts express to use.

Would size box would I use and how low can I tune the box.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Would size box would I use

Depends entirely on the T/S parameters of the driver and the goals you set for this project.

how low can I tune the box.

I recommend 20hz at the lowest since the sub's SSF is set at 18 hz. You can adjust the SSF of the sub by changing resistors.

I think you mean the amp's SSF. . .

Just like the box depending on the t/s parameters, so does the tuning.

Anyone have the old Arsenal t/s parameters?

Woulds these specs allow me to use the subs in home theater. There will be little music use for this in the house. I figured since I had them I would ask if I could get them into the house and have them sound good. I'm looking for a good low tuning. The current sub I have is an 8" Orb Audio sub thats tuned to 28hz. The sub does great for it's size and power, but now that I have a bigger room, I need more. I really want an IB system in the house, but this will have to wait at least 6months. Any suggestions on a path I can take?

Looks like 2.5 ft^3 tuned to 23 Hz would work good. How much power do you have?

1000w at 4ohms (so says the Dayton Rack Amp.)

[BKOLFO4 29]

Wow, missed that. . . looks like too much power to me, so be careful!!!

I don't think it will actually put out that much power, but caution will be applied.

That would be per sub correct. Also, is there a Mac program like the winISD for enclosures?

[BKOLFO4 29]

Yes, per sub.

No sure about the program, as I am not a Mac user. . .maybe someone else will answer.

[JazzScreamer 1]

That would be great! Thanks!

Unibox may work since it is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and Excel is available for the Mac. Since I'm a PC user at both work and home, this is just a guess.
