    Looking to pick up a 15" Havoc near Houston, 77546 to be exact. Anything within 50 miles is fine; I commute all over the place. If anyone could chime in with a dealer nearby, that'd be awesome. Thanks.

    Few questions Are they really 7 inches? or just 6.5? Also, whats a good crossover point for them? Will they play good down to 80hz and up to 3500Hz? For the ones who have experienced them, how is the midbass response on them? Clear and loud? Do they hit good enough for their size?

    Hi, i’m from germany and i’m looking for some ascendant audio subs. i have an us amps usa-3000 (class a/b) and now i have to decline between two havoc 15d2 or a single mayhem 18d1. I want silly lows for tracks like “put on by jeezy” or “love for money by drama”. the box would be the same for both installations. i have space for a 7 cu ft. box after all displacements with a 85 in² port tuned to ~28 hz. So what do you think would be the best choice for me in this box? two havocs have more cone area, i think this could be an advantage for my goal but what i’ve heard the Mayhem is a very brutal sub. thanks for your help carsten

    Ive been all over the forum trying to figure out which sub would work best for me and I still havent come to a conclusion. Most recently, Im thinkin about either a 12" Chaos or 12" Havoc. I have a 2.5 cubic ft box ported and Im planning on buying an audiopipe ap10001d or ap15001d depending on which sub I choose. I drive an infiniti sedan so the box will be in the trunk. I am currently running on Fi X 12 at 2ohms with 250 watts from a fosgate prime and it sounds good for a $250 setup but I want an increase in SPL without having to build a new box. Is the Havoc worth the extra money in my situation or will the Chaos being a satisfying upgrade from the Fi X? I know it can be…

    Hi guys, A friend of mine wants to buy 2 12" Mayhem. He has an MTX te4000 amp for the bass, and he will do all the electrical upgrades he can later. He already has some Optima batteries, he needs to do the big3. His old sub was a Pioneer premier 15" spl monster !! But it has a problem ! All 3 Pioneer spl subs I saw here have been blown !!! I am trying to tell him that he needs only a 12" sub because he drives a small car with a small trunk : it's a Renault Clio ( 2 or 4 doors, I don't remember), hatchback car. He thinks he need 2 Mayhem on his MTX amp. What would you do ? One Mayhem D1 to use the amp at 2 ohms, and later another sub to run both with the same amp, if he …

    Hey guys. Been doing this build since way back in December 2007. I thought it be about the right time to start a build thread. Being the UK/EU Rep for Ascendant Audio, Fi Car Audio, XS Power, Powermaster, KnuKonceptz we saw it only fit to make something to challenge ourselves.. We had a bunch of ideas initially and I started on a relatively small scale of equipment which grew, grew and grew! Scott made me do something I didn't even think was possible but I'm not one to bow out of a challenge although looking back at it I would think twice about doing it again! Went through 10-15 different designs, ported walls, clams, bandpass's etc.. nothing was looking easy.. Measure…

    I understand the purpose of this sub is to be a high powered brutal daily beat sub... I've been tryin to find some info on usage of this sub and have failed so i come to ask questions. What is the potential of this sub to be used for burps? Because of it's coil size, this is the main thing that has attracted me. I plan on using no less than 7kw to each driver for daily and up to 13kw for burps if i feel like it. So, what would my options be? Can a custom designed sub from Fi be better suited for my needs or can the S.M.D. sub actually conquer my vision and excel over many other subs out there for burps?
