Ascendant Audio

Just finished installing a Chaos 12 in 02 Ford Mustang coupe. Running off a SAE-1000d in a ported box. I forgot the exact specs of the box but its around 1.8 cu ft tuned to 34hz. Metered at 137.0 on a TL in the kickpanel. Sounds pretty damned good too!

best sq? best LSQ? best setup? 1 12" aa arsenal d4 vs 2 10" cv vmax runing off a kenwood excelon kac-x10d 600rms at 2ohms i listen to rock, metal, alternative rock, etc accuracy is my main objective here. ported or sealed? thinking sealed is better for tighter bass budget is about $180 for subs any other recommendation in this price range

I just hooked up my new havoc 18 to a behringer 2500. The sub is wired in series for a 4 ohm load. This is my first issue. The sub comes up at about 6 ohms when wired. this is not the 4 ohms that it should be. I realize it is never exact but 2 ohms off seems strange. The sub is wired according to this.. http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/1_2ohm_dvc_4ohm.gif I have double and triple checked it. Now here is my big issue. When powering the sub, at what i would call moderate levels, there is a terrible banging noise that comes on certain notes. I'm afraid that this is the sub bottoming out. However, I dont see how this could be with the kind of music that it is doing…

Do the Arsenals come in a 2 ohm? On SSA's website they only show the 15s in a 4 ohm and i want to run two of them at 2ohms.

Hello, I was wondering if the 18" havoc(first gen) would work well in a sealed box for home use. Or with 2 18" PR would be better(tuned at around 19hz)? I have around 5.5cu.ft to 6.5cu.ft NET work with... its for movies and music, I want tight bass with monster lowz, I want nothing muddy. Any help or suggestion?

who runs ascendant audio? and who do i talk to about sending back a sub from them.

What would be the most daily power you would give a 10" Arsenal? How does 1200w sound

ok i allways thought chad was still in charge of AA, but just had scott help him design the subs. as i was reading in the other thread though it appears that chad has his own companey "epic audio" so does this mean that he is no longer assciated with AA? if so who is in charge?

I got a problem i want two havoc 15s but they are 2ohm subs and my amp is 2500 at one ohm can i use the amp i got with two 2 ohm subs

Where do I find pics of the cone on the arsenal series. The pics in the shop are all side and bottom views.

So I posted the question in the Fi forum but haven't gotten a full answer there. I had asked about woven tinsels on the Q and was wondering if this is a change that has been or will be done on the Havocs. I'll hopefully be picking on e up mid March or at tax time.

Looking for box recommendations for HT duty and for car duty.. Thanks..

Wassup guys...Im looking into uprgading my current system: Sony xm-D9001GTR mono amp (550w @ 4 ohm/ 900w @2 ohms) pushing some new Sony XS-L123P5B 12's 330w RMS 1300peak blah blah....nothing too spectacular but due to the size of my sealed box, they hit pretty decent... Was debating switching to 2 of the AA Assassin Series 12"D4...im guessing I cant push these at 2ohm due to the amp and them being DVC 4 ohm subs and technically they'd probably run best a 4 ohms on this amp(550w)... For the hardest hit, should I just run 2 at 4 ohms(550w) in my current sealed box which is pretty big(dont know exact specs on it, maybe like 2.5ft in each chamber )...or run 4 of them at 2 o…

well like the title says im going to be getting two more arsenal 15's i have two already I AM A need help with box design the four will be going in a 4 door 96 tahoe. you dont have to tell me how they will sound i already know.

I am looking at a sub box and I want to go sealed. It has limitations on the mount depth and I was wondering if anyone has specifications on the mount depth of the 10 & 12 arsenal and assasin subs? The box has 1.15 cu ft of space and sealed. Would an assaasin or arseanl be a better sub for that? Should I go 10 in or 12 in with that space? I am after sound quality so keep that in mind.

Hi All I've got 2 Avalanche 15" drivers, both of which I recently got from shipped from the US. I also recieved the EP2500 I'm going to be driving them with just a few days back. Im eventually going to be installing an IB sub for HT, but for now I'm going to build dual enclosures. Yesterday I hooked each of them up without enclosure, (haven't build them yet!) just to make sure they work. one works fine, but the other makes a "tapping" or "clicking" sound as it moves. the sound is like the sound it would make if you put your finger close enough to the cone that it hit it every cycle. I checked to make sure that the surround and dustcap are well attached and not "flappin…

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 ...?

God its annoying not having a source to find out info on AA's drivers. Does anyone have the specs for the 18" Havoc? Well,i have most of the specs but i am looking for..... What is the cut out diameter? What is the overall diameter (outside diameter)? What is the mounting depth? What is the driver displacement? Thanks

Are this subs as good as they say

I have 4 atlas 12's that i am putting in my living room in 2 seperate sealed boxes. Wiring a pair together what would my final imp. be? I'm going to use a pro amp that puts out max power at 2 ohms but still cranks out the juice at 4 ohm as well. I'm kinda lost with this 4/2 ohm coil configuration. I also would like know what size box would be right too. I know there is a low, mid and high qts settings, does that relate to the 2 ohm coil being open, shorted or adding a resistor? If i shorted the 2 ohm coils and wired the 4 ohm coils in parallel would i achieve a four ohm load using two subs? If i did this to the other 2 subs and then parelleled them together as four would …

Hey guys my friend is thinking about picking up one of these and i just have a few questions - What is the RMS on it and how much would it be able to take? - What is the recommended box size/hz? - How does it compare to subs like re sx, hc, fi ssd/q.. etc? I would get the new arsenal but the RMS is only 500 and my friend wants 750-1000.. if you dont know the answers, then its all good. thanks for the help

heres a short vid of my atlas 15 in the grand am, its running off a RE12.1 amp at 4ohms so around 350wrms. gets decently loud and trunk rattle is really bad. hopefully i can find someone with a camra so i can take longer vids since my memory card is full. 3dbNM31vSE4

my new build.. 18-15 ascendant audio..........

My new Havoc 12 came in today. I don't have a box built yet soI will post listening results tomorrow or Thursday. This sub seems to be built very well. It is very beefy. The packaging wasn't too great, but it arrived safely. The only thing is one spring terminal is sticking. I think that will be easily fixable though. Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.
