Ascendant Audio

Hey guys. New to the SSA forum. I've been doing a lot of research lately on getting a new sub. So far I have just bought the wire and cap. I will be buying a Fosgate T10001BD soon, so I'll have about 1200+ to 1600 watts to work with. I'm trying to choose a sub to put on my amp. I have a box built... 3.6 after all displacement, tuned to 29~31 (probably 30 by my math). I don't have the extra time or money to buy another box, and mdf is over an hour's drive away. I listen to rap. Jeezy, T.I., Three 6, 8ball & MJG, etc etc. I'm not worried about rock. I want a sub that can take 1400 watts daily easily and will hit good 28 to 40. By my research, the AA Havoc seems to sui…

Hi All The ava15 I'm having problems with isn't co-operating, so it looks like the next step is to take it apart and see whats going on inside, whats making that clicking / tapping sound. In order to do this, I think I'll need to buy a recone kit. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=13630 Anyone out there know where I could get my hands on one? I'm desperate here... Thanks!

Can it handle 1500 rms? Trying to finalize my system and torn between a 1k and 1.5k amp.

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. …

Ok. Long story short... My current set-up the last 2 and 1/2 years is 2, 12" Atlas's in a sealed box. I'm not sure the specs for the box but they were set exactly like chad told made by someone on sound domain who was a good box builder =). Anyways ; I wanted to get 2 Assassin 12's because Chad told me they could be drop-in replacements. My girlfriend thought as a christmas present she should get me the Arsenals' instead because they cost more and would be better. I didn't find this out till they were shipped to my house. My current amp is Alpine 605m. It does 600RMS at 2 ohms, and 400RMS at 4... It is not stable at 1 (unfortunately =(..) My atlas's were hooked up at 2…

Is it possible to get a sticky started for the recommended box specs for the current offerings? I was hoping to get a 15" but I'm not going to be able to fit a 4 cube box in my trunk and leave enough room for anything. So I need to know box specs for a 12" havoc please

Hey all, Does anyone know if the new mids will have roughly the same specs/price as the old ones? I need to pick up ~16 for an open baffle line array if they model similarly. Thanks!

if so how can i order some????? i want some but aa is down and i dont know any contact info so i can reach them... if anyone got the telephone number or email please let me know thanks

Were those the AA Polys you were running? Can I get some specs on em like rms, impedance, mounting depth, xmax, sensitivity? And finally how much do they cost? Thanks alot!

I've got two 10" assasins that were in a Wicked One. Needless to day, the wicked one gave great sound (SPL and SQ) but it is simply too big. I am looking for some ideas for a relatively small box. I have two ideas, simple ported or isobaric ported. The majority of the music will be heavy metal and country with the occasional rap song as well. It is going in a 2001 Grand Prix with Alpine Type S Co-Axils (40w per side) and stock rear speakers. The avalable space is: 13" Tall (wiggle room) 36" Wide 15" Deep They have a Hifonics ZX440 for power. This isnt going to compete and it doesnt need to impress, merely give the output in the range stated. This will be built by newyear…

Ok, I am most likely purchasing the L1 and L4 legatia drivers from Hybrid next week, and would like to use the Assasin 8's to complete a 3-way active component system. My plan was to xover the L4 down to ~140 maybe 150, then have the 8's from that number down to about 45, and the 15" Q from that down to 28. Would the assassin 8 be great for this? also, I wanted to mount it in the doors, (the L4's and L1's are going in kick panels). how wold it do in IB and what kind of power handling am I looking at? (i could build little sealed enclosures for them in doors if needed. (crossing fingers) hopefully will be ready for some of next seasons SQ competitions.

Got my new pair of Havocs in Monday. (thanks Scott) They won't be hooked up for a while as I'm waiting on a new amp replacing my HK4000, and a new box is in the works also. Old (left) vs New (right). The old proto Havoc will be going for sale soon, so keep your eyes out for that or PM me if you might be interested and I'll let you know when I plan on putting it up.

EDIT: 15" assassin...ha ha. I feel stupid now. What volume am I looking for a sealed box for a 15" arsenal. Also, what volume/tuning for a ported box. I'm not going for boomy bass so much as controlled punchy bass. I don't want a small box with no range, but I also don't want a huge box. I want something in between that leans toward the small side. I would model it myself, but I can't find the specs as the site is down. Also, what amp in the ~$200 range would you recommend for this sub? Right now I have a MTX MXA8001 running 800@2. But I'm not sure that I like it.

So I hear that the Polly's are some awesome drivers. So I was thinking about using them with a nice set of tweeters with an x-over. Questions is, how do you run yours passive ? What would be a good tweater to use and a good x-over. Are they a good SQ driver ? I am building a SQ setup.

i have a post on steve's page and a few people recomended the aa 8's. and i have a box design i want to use.. but im not sure on the tuning and airspace..

I posted this on RoE and never got a responce so I figured i'd ask on here. I recently bought a blown 15" avalanche- I was wondering if I could still get recone parts to make it match my avalanche 18? If what I am asking is confusing I mean, can I get the same parts used in my working 18, to make my blown one an 18 as well. Meaning same dustcap etc? Do companies know that parts are used in these subs( companies that can recone them) or is there a way I can figure out the exact parts used to let them know? I have never reconed before and would probably be sending the 15 off to get it reconed, but again I am unsure of what to ask the company i'd be sending it to for a r…

I have been running my Avalanche 15 in an unfinished sonotube for many months on a low wattage amp. I have never been able to really crack it up, but hooked it up to a new Sony PA amp and tried it with sine waves from a computer with the amp turned up full. I noticed after a small while the centre of the cone on the speaker was warm and there was a smell starting to come from the port hole in the magnet. How is this possible just from 70 watts ??? I can verify it was about 70 watts as I measured the current and voltage which was 4.7 amps, 14.2 volts with load applied. It would be great if someone could make sense of this.

Anyone know the mounting depth, cutout diameter, and overall diameter of the new Assassin 8's? Searched and didn't find anything on the new ones...

It's that simple.......It's been over a year since the website has been updated. How is business for AA without a website?

Just wondering how much power you guys are putting to your Havoc's for daily pounding/bass race?? I've been throwing around a lot of different sub configurations/ideas for next year and am considering either 4 x 15in Havocs or 4 x 18's Havocs in a wall in my '04 Trailblazer EXT - I would be running a Sundown SAZ-1500 to each sub - think they would take that power ok?

Any specs yet on teh Chaos series? Last I heard from Scott they were similar to the SSD? If you guys have them , i'd like to see the specs on the upcoming "Chaos" series woofers.... its looking like either 8 or 12 of the 15" 's in the new trailblazer.

(2) Havocs 18s, 11 cubic feet before sub and bracing displacement, powered by a pair of Sundown 1500ds sounds good? Reason im asking is thats the free space I have ava in the center of my trunk, the amps I have (well I only have one), and based on another forum members review and advice on his single, I thought about doing two. Would that be enough airspace? Too much power?

Im really looking at getting a pair of these to run off my kx2500.1. I can't really find info on box specs though. Does 14-16cuft tuned to 30hz sound to be right.

are there any 8" Assassins of the older type available? I want to have 4 4ohm assassins to run 1 ohm on a new amp I'm getting. so I need two older ones.

I checked the stcky and noticed a mention of the Mids and if any upgrades were apparent. Saw the picture of an AA mid with a carbon fiber/metal cone. Im really curious about how this product is going to be handled. I currently have some AA mids in my front doors and am very happy, and just came to the realization that i may not be able to purchase anymore! 1. Are they still gonna be offered? 2. Are they gonna be improved, and by how much? 3. Can we expect the same awesome performance and price? Any information will be greatly appreciated! BTW the new product line looks really awesome, especially those Havoks.
