    okay so i was wondering what i should do...the gains were set with an o scope, everything installed correctly, box size was good, no clipping ...it literally just tore straight in half...has to be one of the colest things i have ever seen...everything looked right in the box but when i pulled it out the cone was in half..i know there is no fixing it but i was wondering if maybe i could just get a new cone/dust cap put on the old basket ....by the way it is a 12" aresenal......i still have the voice coil and spider and the motor and basket are still in mint mint condition and i feel it would be a waste to just throw it......so can i "fix" it anyway or should i just make a …

    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!!!

    I was just curious what sizes do the sets come in 5.25in, 6.5in. 7 in, 8 in, etc? Also is there a passive crossover included or do i need to build one myself? (I'll probably be running active but just want to make sure at first). Also, what are the tweeters? The last time i remember they were Morel, and from the other comp sets i've seen they look like Morel tweeters. Thanks, Julian.

    Well, it has been almost 1 year since the new line of subs and speakers were suppose to be released, and it has been only a few months since the subs have been on the market and the website has not been updated since about December 2006. Most threads on the forum have been directed to Fi to resolve problems, concerns, or questions. As an AA fan I would like to know what the future holds for AA. Will the company remain or melt into Fi. I'm not upset, just curious as to what Chad and the rest of the company has planned. More to come.........

    I am looking for a monster sub. either FI audio or Ascendant audio. I know they are in the same family but they make great subs. I am chasing a great sounding sub that can still achieve good numbers on the meter. My choices are the Mayhem or the SP4 What do you think about these subs based on my goals? Please only those that have experience with each.

    Hello, I'm new to the forum and would like some help with a box for an 8" assassin. I was wondering if someone would be interested in designing a slot ported box for me that would fit in the following dimensions: 17" wide by 14" front to back. I am not too concerned with height, just dont want to go over 12" if possible. The box is going in a 2007 Frontier Kingcab, behind my driver seat. I think the specs on the AA site say .5@35, but have read threads where people are saying .6@40. I mainly listen to rock/alternative music if that helps with the tuning. I am getting ready to order a new one next week from the TeamSSaudio website, and would like to build the box before it…

    Im currently wanting to try something new and I was wanting to know what would be a better choice.. I have 2 5000rms amps for each 12" woofer I intend on using. So Im wanting to a setup with 2 12's and its between the AA Mayhem or the Fi BTL 12".. I dont have any dealers of AA in my area and it don't seem like they do much of the speaker customizing like Fi does... So whats everyones input? BTL 12" vs. Mayhem 12"?

    Something seems slightly wrong on the AA website regarding the dual 2 ohm AA Chaos 10 inch. Using the T&S figures given on site the box size for a sealed enclosure seems wrong, when I calculated it out if the box is 0.6 cu ft (min. size) the system QTC is 0.55 which is of course very low and for 1.0 cu ft (max. size) the QTC is 0.49. So what is wrong the T&S figures or min and max box sizes.

    I recently got 2 of the new Havocs with the solid pole and improved cooling, and I must say these subs are AWESOME. I've owned the older model havocs before (2008) and these are much better! Each is powered by a RF T1500-1bdcp (1800+ rms) and they seem like they need more...LOL. Box is 11.85 after displacements tuned to 29hz. No vids yet be will have some soon

  19. What's up? There hasn't been much going on around these parts. I figure I'd kick up the dust and ask is tjete anything in the works or is Ascendant Audio getting wrapped up? I did a quick search on the net for Ascendant Audio, but nothing. :/ Hope to hear some interesting news.
