Ascendant Audio

Welcome to the new home of Ascendant Audio! Stick around for updates! Shawn's taking the rein's on this one!

Hey guys, for now, this forum is mainly for anyone that has previous products and would like to post pictures or ask questions. Until the new products launch there is nothing really to talk about, so lets get this forum going, and discuss previous AA products. If you could post pics of you builds and worklogs that would be great. Thanks guy, Shawn Fleming

NOTICE: For the next week, there is going to be a delay on calls and emails due to Shawn going into major leg surgery as I type this. For the past 2 weeks he has been answering as many emails and calls as he can from his hospital bed. Due to this life changing surgery, he will be unable to get to all the emails and calls for a few days, so those who are wondering what is going on, please be aware of this and take it into consideration. If you know Shawn at all, keep him in your thoughts while he goes through this. Thank you.

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…

Straight from his website... "i was supposed to have my proto-pics today.......and im sure i will - i wanted to wait till i had them before i finally said something. Ill give you what i have though..... i will not be running Fi anymore. I am switching to AA - but it goes a little deeper then that. It will be AA's biggest, baddest sub - and it will be the SMD edition. I am waiting for the specs to be done on it so there is some T/S (i think im supposed to get some) but i can tell you it has a 4" coil, power handling will be rated at 3500rms, not the standard basket (like my RE's and Fi's) but a different one. It should (of course) have tinsels IN the spiders (to avoid past…

Upgraded Assassin Series with the cast basket, reworked motor, and beefier coil. 250W RMS 16mm Xmax 8", 10", and 12" sizes Aresenal Series with upgraded triple stack motor and heavier aluminum coil. 500W RMS 19mm Xmax 10", 12", and 15" sizes Havoc Series with upgraded triple stack motor and long aluminum coil. 1250W RMS 30mm Xmax 12", 15", and 18" sizes Angled shot of all three lines together to show motor sizing.

I guess with the holidays and all of my car issues I neglected to post these. It shouldn't be too long before I get them in. Next to one (of 2) of the 4" Precision Ports I plan on using. and my favorite pic Enjoy!

We are keeping very true to form and popping up with something brand new to the industry with no forum buzz or hype. Allow me to introduce the new power house in motor technology known very simply and only as Supergauss; A radical new take on ultra high Gauss motors. We’ll start off with a little bit of background information about the development of this technology. This is the first generation of Supergauss motor technology and was developed and licensed specifically for industrial applications. After the termination of the two-year contract with our clients and them phasing out of Supergauss I and into Supergauss II and III, we are now offering Supergauss I to the Ca…

What's in the boxes you ask

I am considering a set of these to run in my front stage and have heard nothing but good about them, but haven't been able to find any specs. ESPECIALLY important is depth because i am working with limited room. If anyone know where i can get the specs or can post them up i would appreciate. thanks

there is no phone line any more i emailed 4 days ago no reply i need to try and get some woofers and audio innovations completely tried to rip me off a few people down here in socal run aa and i kno around what price range they go for and fresno really tried to rip me :/

How much are your soft re cone parts for 4 aa 8's dvc and how much would be shipping i live in micigan? any help would be great

i'm from another forum and a guy is claiming that he bought 6 AA Arsenal 10"s for separate applications, and all suffered suspension problems.. he says the guy who built the boxes said i looking to find out if this is a known problem, or if the problem lies elsewhere.. thanks

Well there is finally SOMETHING on the web address. It's all f'd up but it's something. The web design looks a little odd. There's also a header for amps...

idk if u got my pm

Hey guys I am at the Daytona SBN right now. It is Saturday night. My head has been rocked today by lil jons 18 15" AA Chaos in a sealed clamshell with 2 partial dividers and 9 Clarion 1500 rms amps. lil jon said he's getting about 800rms per and his installer big mikey says each sub has 2.5 cubes. Chris a builder at Fi/AA explained to me that the AA lineup is thir retailer line (avail to dealers) and that each sub is exactly comparable to the Fi lineup. The Chaos that lil jon are running are in fact an SSD w/ the copper coil options. The rest of the lineup is in AA is the Fi equiivalent with all options. SO the Mayhem is a BTL fully loaded triple mag with daily option. I…

Alright, I dunno wtf went wrong or why it happend but my two Assasain Series 8's sound like complete ass. I had a shop install my subs for me, custom built wood box, memphis 500watt amp and they BLOW!! I think my stock system bumps harder than these things. I dunno what the hell is wrong. I got the subs, they sat in the box for like a week and a half, then got installed. The installed said he looked the whole sub and system over and saw nothing wrong. They hooked up a Memphis 8'' into my box and it hit harder by itself, HELD IN PLACE, than my two subs did screwed down and cranked. Im pretty much pissed off to no extent right now, id love it if someone on here of authorit…

Hello, For nearly 3years now, I've been using the very first 18" hAvoc that was made. But, sadly, it died on me, well, there is a chance of resurrection, but I doubt it... After continuous playback(around 5 hours), thumping, at a party, it got super hot to the point where the basket was almost to hot to touch, and, dindt work anymore, obviously... My amplifier is a Crown XTi2000 (2krms@4ohm) and the enclosure is a 7.3NET @ 17hz (PR setup), mainly built for movies. So, now, I'm looking for something somehow, bulletproof. And I think the mayhem should not get hot with the power I got, even on long term playing periods. Also, with the sensivity so high it'll be louder with …

Nothing special... I'm not all that great at building boxes... but here is what me and and my friend threw together. about 10 different braces lol. I had a bunch of extra internal space.

Hey, my name is Joe, I was wondering if the Mayhem 12" can handle 2 AQ2200D's, and that my electrical can keep up? Electrical so far is, KinetikKHC 3800, and a Kinetik 1800. All Kicker 0 Gauge. No Big three since battery is stock in the back and that confuses me a little, and stock alt. I also popped the hood and there is no room for battery since I have the saturn ion 3 coupe supercharged and thats my guess as to why it came in the trunk.

I went to a local shop today to price some remote start security systems. I was looking at the Viper 5109. While looking at my truck the shop owner noticed my monster box with an 18 AA Mayhem. Without getting into a long story, he told me that the sub was no more than a true 500 rms sub (keeping in mind that he has never heard of AA) and said that his his two 12 inch Flame series Audiodahn subs powered by a Flame series amp would hit harder and be louder than the Mayhem ( silly silly man). He was so positive he would beat me that he said he would give me my alarm and install it for free if he wasnt.!!! Like I said THANKS AA !!! My alarm will be installed on Wed.!!

Just thought I would start a thread. . . So the wall looks like this again: But will very soon have AA subs :D :D :D :D I need bass. . . The 10" panasonic sub in my Isuzu truck just is not enough!!!
