Ascendant Audio

(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?

Ok I had some troubles but I finally got the system in and finished. Huge thanks to scott over at Fi for taking care of me and definately going the extra mile for his customers System Info: 2 Assasain 8's Sealed box w/ .5cubes each Memphis 500/1 amp Memphis 4AWG amp wiring kit Jensen VM9312 headunit This thing pounds, I'll definately try and get some pics asap when I can get ahold of a camera.

I'm revamping my entire setup in my truck, 2007 Ram reg. cab. i've got a DLS A5 amp coming for power which is about 750w @1ohm. The 2 10's would be in a ported downfiring box between the front seats and going all the way to the back wall. The 2 12's would be mounted traditionally behind the seat facing forward, how much airspace would each setup need?

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!

What happened to the AA website getting put up a few months back I was interested in doing some browsing although all the info can be found in an assortment of places. Just would be nice to see a site up thats all.

Alright, I dunno wtf went wrong or why it happend but my two Assasain Series 8's sound like complete ass. I had a shop install my subs for me, custom built wood box, memphis 500watt amp and they BLOW!! I think my stock system bumps harder than these things. I dunno what the hell is wrong. I got the subs, they sat in the box for like a week and a half, then got installed. The installed said he looked the whole sub and system over and saw nothing wrong. They hooked up a Memphis 8'' into my box and it hit harder by itself, HELD IN PLACE, than my two subs did screwed down and cranked. Im pretty much pissed off to no extent right now, id love it if someone on here of authorit…

Just ordered my set of Assassin 12's today (I cant wait!!!) and Im wondering what to do a/b the box. I have 4cubes total before disp of anything to play with. They will be behind my bench seat in my 84 GMC single cab, so I planning on the subs on the passenger side, with a slot port out of the drivers side. What tuning/port area should I use for these? I know my old 8" assassins loved higher tuning (45htz) are these new line subs different? Suggestions/opinions please!

Would you please post the displacements of the havoc line(18 in particular)? Thanks

I have four original Assassin 8's BNIB sitting in my closet that I was going to use for my car but I've decided to get out of car audio so now I'm thinking about using them for my home theater/stereo. I've already decided on some Acculine Tower and center speakers so my thoughts are to build two sub towers to go off to the sides of the L/R main Towers, each containing two of the Assassin 8's. It'll mainly be for movies and video games but I'd like the subs to work well with music. I'm looking for something different than sealed or regular ported boxes due to the rather high FS of the Assassin 8's, I've been thinking of an Aperiodic Bi-Chamber (ABC) or Transmission Line bo…

Im in the market for a new substage and these are my choices, either some Assassin/Arsenal 10/12s or the DD 1510s/1512s. For now I have 1600w to play with @ 1 ohm (brutus 1600) and up to 4cubes total before disp. This will be going in a single cab truck and Im looking for the loudest possible daily driver. What are ya'lls thoughts. Which would be better boom for the buck?

Apologies if this has been asked before but I searched and nothing came up. I want to run a 15" Havoc but my amp (Zapco 6.0) is only 2 ohm stable mono. Can AA make these in dual 4ohm versions?

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???????????????????????????????????

I have all of the parts to build a pair of the M-T speakers that were on the old AA website. Anyone have a copy of these? I am ready to build a pair (parts have been in my closet for over a year), and cannot find the copies of the schematic and cabinet drawings I printed. . . Thanks! Brian

I searched here and can no find. What are the mounting depths of the Assassin/Arsenal Lines?

Im looking into getting a 12" havoc if my dd 3515 doesnt start shaping up or fitting in my car. Now whats ported enclosure size for a 12" havoc. Min and Max and Recommended and The size that makes it shine. I would like to know opinions on all 4 sizes. And tuned to what hz and what size port. A little more info: * trunk size box * powered by SD 1500D Thanks for your time I really appreciate it.

Just ordered a Havoc 18 to replace my 4 tens. I will try to do some kind of review when I get it, although the only thing I have to compare it to will be my 4 tens. Wish me luck!!!

As the title states I am contemplating designing a down firing box for one 12" Atlas. I have heard this helps increase SPL as well as makes for a stealth install. (no need for a grill) Here is a link to the discussion I had over @ DIY http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showth...ight=downfiring I have also talked with Mr. Marv @ http://community-2.webtv.net/MarvsPlace/MarvsPlace/ Marv has suggested that I look into the following - " There are a couple of things to note however-all subs are not created equal so you definitely want to check with the manufacturer to make sure your sub will not exhibit excessive sag when mounted upside down (from what I understand heavy cone/…

Do the Havocs (namely 18"s) prefer to be ported or sealed. Or are they at home in either enclosure?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a pair of Older arsenal 15's, I want to go small sealed with them... what are the sealed box specs on them please? Thanks

Anyone know what would cause this, or is it just a bad surround?

I got an AA Arsenal as my first piece of good equipment last year. Hooked it up to an 1100d in a sealed box. Played and LOVED it. Until one day the output dropped considerably and i got out, the surround had torn 1/4 around the subs outer edge. I was upset, i blamed manufacterer error. I sent the sub in, Chad didn't beleive it was workmanship error. pulled the cone out and the coil was black. I was clipping the amp, very common mistake. although i was convinced i wasn't clipping, i sucked it up and accepted the truth. But despite my stupidity. Chad, being the superhero that he is sent me another sub. I couldnt be more thankful. I bot 2 12" assasins from him at that …

I just purchased a 12" Atlas and am looking for some suggestions on enclosures. I will be running just one 12" with 300w rms going to it. Any recommendations appreciated.

What is the weight of the 18'' Havoc? And will it bang harder then the fi 18''Q's?

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 …

I have an Assassin 8 that the cone separated from the motor. Im looking for info on getting it warrantied or reconed or getting a discount on a new assassin. Just something,lmao. I was running 400w to it, I had 4 of them on a hifonics brutus 1600. Wanged on daily but not to the point of distortion. Any info or something would be helpful. I just have a useless little sub sitting on my counter I want to help! Lol. Thanks Gunz
