Ascendant Audio

  1. Started by SomeDonnieDude,

    Just picked up an original 12" Assassin, single 4 ohm, ones with stamped steel basket. I'm looking for the best SQ I can get with ported enclosure, as i listen to all genres of music. I was thinking 2.0cf @ 32hz? Going with a slot port so how many sq inches of port? Going in the trunk of my grand prix btw.

    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…

    Hey, I purchased two of them about a month ago, I am going to run 2 US AMPs MD2D to them. What I needed to know is, what should the box look like. Would anyone be willing to make me a blueprint:] I have them in a very poorly designed box. Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRXJYl3ea3g Dont mind my harsh comment on the video:]

    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.

  10. Started by chad.SQ,

    I see that the efficiency of that sub is 89.9. Its one of the higher numbers ive seen. Is that good? I want to run a single 15" arsenal off a Kicker zx750.1. Is this too much power? I hear that this line of woofers are very underrated. Should I be fine with 750 watts? I want to first put it in a 2.4 cube sealed box to see how it sounds then I want to put it in ported 4 tuned to 30 like AA recommends. Any input is very much appreciated.

    Aight... So I used to have a T1 15 and it hit lower songs (such as White Girl, Hood Figga, etc) with authority. I just hooked up my friend's Fi Q 15 up to my amp (exact same settings) and it hit those lows like my T1 used to... My problem is that when songs dip into about 29-31 htz, the sub starts moving VERY little and the sounds just kinda poofs. No real BOOM or loudness. Now this might be dependent upon the box. I tuned it to about 31-32 htz. I played tones and it moves the least at a 31 htz tone, so yeah. I realize that it moves less in this range b/c it is nearing the tuning freq and the sub's beginning to "unload." But why does the volume decrease so much? The box i…

    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!

    I'm really don't know how to go about planning a subwoofer box from scratch. I used to start with the calculator for plans on subwoofertools.com, but that website just went poof. Now I don't know what to do... My dimensions are 17 high x 17 deep x 37 wide... tuning needs to be 33htz... I will add a second baffle and bracing, but we'll just used those dimensions for simplicity... If there is anyone out there than can help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
