Ascendant Audio

  1. Started by subwoofery,

    Was browsing on the web and came across this. Seems that AA will not only have 3 but 5 series of subs: Assassin, Arsenal, Chaos, Havoc and Mayhem - Mayhem being an SPL woofer Is that old old news (like before FI Car Audio)? or ...?

    For those of you who have read this small Forum area will hava noticed my dying urge to get hold of an Avalanche. Chad hasn't contacted me still in over a week and hasn't signed on to the forums, does anyone happen to have any relevant contact information which he uses that they wouldn't mind PM'ing or posting to me. Thanks.

    I know with only 5k I should have a bigger box, but this is as big as I can go. Let me know what you think. Goal is to get low (play mostly Decaf and other slowed/modded music) and move some air. Thanks.

    Hi AA group, I am not sure about this matter so I decided to post it here for much better idea than assumptions. What will be louder 2 15" in sealed or 1 15" in ported, I'm listening mostly to house, trance, R & B, hiphop and love songs. Thanks.

    I've got a pair of 15" Avalanche subs. I want to build a box, but I don't know what size it needs to be. I'm undecided on whether I'll be using them in my home or my car. My car needs a little work, that's why I'm undecided. Anyways to the good stuff. I want to go ported for either application. For the car I'm guessing a tuning frequency of 32 to 35Hz. For the house I'm thinking 28Hz. I'm open to suggestions. For power I've got two TMA 1000.1 in the car. Oh, by the way the ride is an 86 Mustang GT hatchback, the rear seat isn't used so it's folded down flat. The subs would be wired to 1 ohm each, one sub per amp. In the house I've got a Behringer EP2500. The subs would be…

    I found this spot to experiment with Baffle building Baffle install Black paint Assasins installed Completed IB This setup consists of 4 12" Assasins, a parts express 1000 watt plate amp, and behringer feedback destroyer... It hits relatively hard and clean however my crappy drop ceilings vibrate uncontrollably which ruins it for me. I went with a different route with the assasins, 8 cubes sealed, sounds so much better to me. I can post pics of the sealed box if anyone wants to see. This is my basement, I'm gonna try another IB in the living room upstairs with some Mark I Brahma 12"s soon.

    I understand the purpose of this sub is to be a high powered brutal daily beat sub... I've been tryin to find some info on usage of this sub and have failed so i come to ask questions. What is the potential of this sub to be used for burps? Because of it's coil size, this is the main thing that has attracted me. I plan on using no less than 7kw to each driver for daily and up to 13kw for burps if i feel like it. So, what would my options be? Can a custom designed sub from Fi be better suited for my needs or can the S.M.D. sub actually conquer my vision and excel over many other subs out there for burps?

    Hello everyone, well after sitting in the FI forum, I've gotten a good deal recently for the Ascendant audio line up, which I've heard is very similar to the fi q of which I originally wanted for less than that of a Q. Both subs are now pretty much the same price, Havocs being cheaper slightly. So I ask you all if any of you have heard the differences between the Q and the Havor in terms of sound. I've talked to a few people and Scott regarding the two subs, and from what I understand is this. The Havoc was made to handle more power out of the box compared to a Q with no BP option, they were made to handle more power so they should be able to handle a bit more abuse. …

    I had to move the Vifa tweets up higher to get them more on axis, so I was stuck with a big hole in my new door pods. No way I was doing them again, so I came up with a pretty simple idea that looks pretty decent. More importantly the sound is WAY better now, which was the #1 goal. Pass side tweeter in it's new home. Whipped up some simple PVC angle mounts wrapped in gray carpet. $1.50 and about 30 minutes of time. Hard to make a large format tweeter look "good" in a car, but this will have to do. Close up of the driver's side panel. Fire up the "bat signal" and the caped crusader of midrange appears!!! Went with the blue theme to match my old eXcelon. Takes about 5 …

    well i have the older model arsenals and i have a orion 2500d going to two 15s they are handling that many watts okay just wanted to know since the new arsenals are beefed up they should handle way better right. Just like every sub scott makes people double the power and they handle like champs. so what you think???????????????????????????????????

    The - terminal on my xt-25 came completely out when i was disassembling my towers. Didnt have a problem with the + terminal or either on the other towers tweet. I wouldnt think it would be very difficult to pop the back cover off and re-solder it, but upon further inspection theres what looks to be little spots of ca preventing the back cover to come loose from the key-way...should i send it in? ..and is there any possibility i can get ahold of anymore 6.5"s, xt-25's, and these x-over parts anymore? thanks
