    I was just wondering if anyone will update the AA website... I understand you guys are busy at Fi/AA. It's just that half of the tabs say "Coming Soon!" and two of the lines of subs are missing... Even on this page, read the description: 12": Don't let the classy looks fool you. The Havoc Series 12" is down right mean on the bottom octave. With more linear displacement than most companies high end 15s, the Havoc 12".

  4. I am looking at a sub box and I want to go sealed. It has limitations on the mount depth and I was wondering if anyone has specifications on the mount depth of the 10 & 12 arsenal and assasin subs? The box has 1.15 cu ft of space and sealed. Would an assaasin or arseanl be a better sub for that? Should I go 10 in or 12 in with that space? I am after sound quality so keep that in mind.

    Here are the stats Powered by a Sundown SAZ-1500d Ported: 2.0 cu ft tuned to 33 hz metered at 140.4db, TL in the kicks. Sealed: .85 cu ft, no stuffing - haven't had a chance to mesure yet. Started out with the ported box. Here is my initial review http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...mp;#entry408101 The Havoc does it all! Lots of output, razor sharp SQ, looks good, doesn't cost 4 figures, and is very reliable. But I've always felt that the 2 cu ft ported box was a little big and put a little too much emphasis on the low end. The sub will get low, the question you should ask is how much do I need from 65hz+. Now, going with a sealed box. I like it much better …

    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:

    Can I use the Havoc 12" woofer in the home? If so what's the difference between a car subwoofer box and a home woofer box? This would be my first home woofer build. What do they mean by shielded/ not shielded?

    Ok guys I just had to see what the subs sounded like in the box until the plexiglas with the AA logo inlay comes in from toolmaker and the LED's to arrive. They are in a 2009 Ford Escape an you can see from the picks the system consists of 2-15" D2 Ascendant Audio Mayhem's a Sundown Audio 3500d Running @.5ohm with a set of toolmaker dual inputs , 2 Kinetik HC2400's a optima redtop battery up front,had a second one but it died on me. The deck is a Alpine IVA-W205 and a Aura 4200 amp running 2 sets of 5.25" Kenwood components. I have a 270 amp Mechman alternator that I have to put back in but for now the stereo is running off of the factory 150 amp alt and all 1/0 knukonce…

    Just got a small question for you assassin users. how much wattage are you all feeding these woofers? im only giving it about 150watts and slapped it in my old JLW6 box and its decent but I was wondering if I would notice a large difference if I built a box to specs and gave it RMS wattage. let me hear your inputs thanks.

    Hey all, Does anyone know if the new mids will have roughly the same specs/price as the old ones? I need to pick up ~16 for an open baffle line array if they model similarly. Thanks!

    I know the arsenals are finally up on the shop's page, but they are still missing the specs. I read they are rated at 500 wrms, but what is the suggested max for them. Also, I may have missed it in another post, but I don't remember seeing what their mounting depth is for the 10 and 12. I'm hoping that its 6.5" or less, I'd like to have another AA sub back in my Sonoma by the fall.

    Chevy extended cab truck that runs on vegoil. 18" mayhem in an 8 cu ft box tuned to 28 hz. Powered by an SAZ-3000d with a Kinetik HC2400 in the cab. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the 200 amp alt from Excessive Amperage. Surprisingly, the OZ Audio 4x6 coaxes in the dash wang pretty damned good! The box is tuned pretty low so this setup REALLY shakes everything. Its quite ridiculous. The mayhem actually sounds pretty decent until I turn it up. Then all I can hear is the roof flexing. I did a quick measurement on the TL and posted a 145. That's just hopping in the car and playing a quick sweep. I was too busy wearing out my electrical system play the 30 hz ton…
