what is the volume i should port these at, and to what frequency for car usage? also how big of a port should i use? thanks!

Has anyone actually heard a Chaos? I had my heart set on a Havoc 12 but I'm afraid it may now be a little too rich for my blood after seeing the dealer MSRP. If anyone has actually seen a Chaos in action would you consider it a worthy upgrade to the 1st gen Arsenals? My plan is to get a refurbished Sundown SAE 1000D to power either the Chaos 12 or the Havoc 12. I won't be doing anything for several months but I just want some reliable info before I dive into it. Thanks.

I cant seem to find any closeups of the new havocs. If anybody owns a havoc please post pics!

Still working on my AA Arbiter and needed help with my Precision Port tubes. The enclosure plans call for a 3" diameter and 5" length port. The enclosure is a 1.0 cu.ft. I have two questions..... 1. What is the tuning freq. of the enclosure 2. Are the dimensions for the port specifically for a Precision Port or is this for your regular 3" tube at 5" length. Reason I ask is because the Precision Port directions have different direction for tuning. I guess this is because of the flare on both sides. I really need some help with this. AA experts I need you. Thanks, Bob

i really like ascendant's new site except...there are no prices!!..lol..so i was hoping to get a quickie response here,whats the price of a havoc 18 and if possible how much for shipping to trinidad.(if possible*prays*). thanks

I just need some prices on 12" and 18" havocs and mayhems, i emailed as did a friend and we got nothing back yet. thanks.

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

..and it didn't break..

Didnt come out right but here it is

So I see AA is affiliated with fiaudio? Why not just have more sub lines at fi? Anyways whats the difference in these subs compared to fi? And what sub would you recommend that doesnt have a motor diamter of more than 6.75" and the over all depth of the sub not deeper than 7" And can handle a sundown 1200 v2. Looking for 2 12s

Hello, For nearly 3years now, I've been using the very first 18" hAvoc that was made. But, sadly, it died on me, well, there is a chance of resurrection, but I doubt it... After continuous playback(around 5 hours), thumping, at a party, it got super hot to the point where the basket was almost to hot to touch, and, dindt work anymore, obviously... My amplifier is a Crown XTi2000 (2krms@4ohm) and the enclosure is a 7.3NET @ 17hz (PR setup), mainly built for movies. So, now, I'm looking for something somehow, bulletproof. And I think the mayhem should not get hot with the power I got, even on long term playing periods. Also, with the sensivity so high it'll be louder with …

Has anyone been able to get in contact with ANYONE at AA.. I've called (phone goes to VM) emailed everyday for the past 4 days, been emailing for over 2 weeks.. and have gotten no luck in contacting AA.. I ordered recones for a customer and paid over 3 weeks ago also a sub I received with a damaged basket that rendered the sub unplayable un-mountable unusable, I opted for them to send a basket and recone over 3 weeks ago and haven't heard from them since sept 17th 2012 where i was told it was going out the next day, I know it doesn't take 3 weeks to get here.... Normally i wouldn't be so worried but the 15" mayhem took almost 2 months to get here broken and now it's taki…

I can't decide whether to go with AQ Hdc3 12s, SSD 12s, or SA 12s I can give them about 2 cubes per sub ported with a sundown 2000d on each pair

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!

Ok I currently have a MKI Brahma motor heading my way, my plans are to recone this into a 10". I was told by the previous owner (seller) that I could get recones through AA. I've been looking around trying to find an email address and figured I mine as well post up in here to try and get a response. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it!!! Thanks! Jon

Can someone tell me where my nearest dealer is please. I need a recone for my AA Mayhem 15" D2. Melbourne, FL 32901

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…

Hi, I bought a 12" Arsenal last year, due to moving and my error, I caused a tear (bout 2") on the sub surround and cone. I checked AA website, but it's offline. Do anyone have AA's contact info or pricing on reconing a sub? I already bought a new setup (RE MX 12") but figured i repair the arsenal and toss it in my girl's car. Thanks!

Hi, I've got an AA Avalanche 12 that I purchased about 4 years ago. Last year it started cutting in and out intermittently so I shelved it saying I'd deal with it later. I had it in a 1.25ft^3 sealed box on a 350W PG amp. I don't get any grinding noises when i push on the cone and see no physical damage. Can anyone tell me who I can get in contact with to possibly get this thing repaired, assuming it's cost effective? I really enjoyed the sub while it worked. When I bought it, I was looking for a low priced sub with XBL^2 ( used to have a Brahma) and this sub was perfect. I just read that AA is in the process of a merger and there really isn't a whole lot of info …

I'm almost ashamed to post the "before" pic, but I'm more into function than form and the sweet sounds of the poly mids/Vifa tweeter combo made up for it. Aluminum panel is to plug the hole left by my old JBL comps. Not the worst I've ever seen, but pretty unsightly. There's another mid behind the stock grill. I had planned on doing some fiberglass pods, but don't really care for the look of them. Too custom or whatever, just wasn't my thing. Here's what I started with:

I know you guys do not check the forums very often, but I've sent a few emails and I know that you guys are super busy, so I just wanted to ask here of the off chance on of you checks it. I sent in my AA Havoc 15 to get repaired and got it back good as new (excellent service btw). But I was wondering if you could tell me exactly what went wrong with it, as we were never able to figure it out. Not just "mech issue" or "thermal issue," I am wondering what actually went wrong so I can make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks for the great service and sub guys!

well i have the older model arsenal the 15inch i still have a warrenty on the two subs anyways everything checks out right the subs are reading 4ohms but the sub wont move the cone is locked up i dont get it

Ive seen a few people recommend 1.5-2cu for a sealed Havoc 12. The recommended on the AA site says .6-1.2, and to get QTC of 7 would be .45. Why are larger sizes recomended? I have a .75cu box that Ive been using with an RE SR already, and wondering if I should use it, or get a different one. After displacement that would be under .6, less then AA recomended. Or do they recomend the size factoring in displacement already? When figuring QTC and F3, do you factor in sub displacement first? Not going to have much power, 400-600w at most.

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!
