    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/…

    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…

    I'm thinking about 2 12" Havocs and was wondering a few things. 1. What would sound louder, sealed or ported? 2. What would have better sound quality, sealed or ported? 3. What would hit lower, sealed or ported? I'm thinking about ported to 5cuft tuned to 30.5Hz. If sealed I'm thinking about 2.4cuft. If you think they would sound better in a different box size, please inform me. Thank you

  15. So I've got this build log going on. You can check it out HERE. It involves, dare I say, some old school Ascendant Audio Atlas subs. Taking it a step farther, I installed them IB style. Lastly, this is a, get as much bass as I can with 500 watts without losing any trunk space because I'm a sensible family man with financial limits, build. If you're interested check it out and let me know what you think. Here is a couple of teasers. Thanks for looking.

    Hi guys I just recently got an 18" AA Chaos and just put it in my car and i must say im extremely happy. I am surprised at the SQ this subwoofer has! The transitions between bass lines are so smooth, it handles highs great. And im still breaking it in! Compared to my older subs (Soundstream T415, RF HX2's) i must say this stuff is the best ive ever heard. Ive got it on a Mac Audio Fearless 1000 (~900wrms), in a 7cuft box tuned to 34hz. Incl. 45's and lotsa bracing. All inside a small Honda Civic Hatch. Here's some pics: Im pretty newbie at building boxes so dont shoot me if it doesnt look great! I designed it with exposports calculator. thank you ASCENDANT AUDIO f…

    I have an avalanche 18 sitting in my basement unused for the last 8 years. I am going to try to install in my 2008 Buick lucerne of an orion 800@2. I know I can't go ported, but what size sealed would work. I think I can get around 5-6 cubic feet sealed and use poly fill to make up for the lack of size. I cannot find box sizes on any website so I am hoping I could get some help here. Would 5 to 6 cubic feet be enough or should I just find two fifteens instead?

    OK guys when SQ competitors jump into SPL the results can be less than favorable... I was running a sweep before my SPL run and got down to 37Hz @ 138db when I hear the noise that everyone dreads... the cone bottoms out. I reach for the volume knob but the face on my 9861 (non-motorized) has fallen down (can't control the volume with it down). Anyway to make a long story short ... the former for the voice coil pretty much exploded and now I need a recone. With Ascendant Audio's website now a one pager contacting Chad is going to be tough. Does anyone know how I can get in touch with him? BTW-This is one of two Avalanche 18s and the other sub is still playing fine. …
