Ascendant Audio

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, 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

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

I love my Havoc's

I'm looking at getting a Mayhem 12 just curious if anybody's tried these. I was told he uses a triple stack BTL motor. Any good? I've got a sq q1-2200.2d monoblock 2200 rms @ 1 its either the mayhem or a fully loaded bl what do you think?

SMD V2 is full retard.

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?

My local dealer stopped selling ascendant quite a while back and now I'm looking for a new 10 for a small build and would like some prices.

Sorry to ask because I know it's all over the forum but I cannot figure out what I need or where to get it. My AA has broken tinsel leads on one voice coil and I have no clue how to fix it. I would assume to fix it the right way, I'd need to pull the cone out, but after that I'm not sure what parts I'd need to repair it.

What's going on with AA website? Getting revamped?

I know with only 5k I should have a bigger box, but this is as big as I can go. Let me know what you think. Goal is to get low (play mostly Decaf and other slowed/modded music) and move some air. Thanks.

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.

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.

I trying to find a working phone number or email. Does anyone have either of the two by any chance

Does anyone know where i can find info on these subs? I checked on their site but nothing is on there about these subs

Is it just a spl sub or will it make a good daily.

Hi I want to buy a couple SMD 18's for my next build but I cannot find any They are the baddest subs ever and I need them I do not want used I want fresh built Does AA ever intend to build these again? Can I pre-order the V2? Thanks

We at Audio Innovations are still trying to get ahold of Ascendant in order to facilitate getting product and able to get recones for aa/fi product. Myself and Ryan have sent numerous emails to the fi email and have not received anything back. I'm in need of recones and need a way to be able to get product (hopefully in a timely manner). If anyone at AA/Fi reads this James Coil Audio Innovations 4210 N. Fresno St. Fresno, CA 93726 Phone numbers 559-229-0123 559-449-0123 we would like some kind of contact so that we can get the ball rolling.

Hello guys. I ordered from bkolf04 one AA Mayhem 15 d1 (thank you Brian), wired to 0.5 The box will be 5 cu ft, with 70.5 sqin port area, 14.1 sqin / cu ft. tuned to 32Hz 240A of one alternator 2 xs d3100 + one stock under hood. what amplifier do you recomend ? I want to see in that sub 3.5k of clean power. With impendance rise of box what you recomend: one amp with 3.5kw of power to 1 ohm, or 5.5kw power ? For that power i need a litle box with 4 cu ft ? thank you

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'm suprised the SMD V2 hasn't poped up on this forum yet. i know that most of us don't like the guy behind the name, but you still can't deny the sub itself and that it's Ascendants sub and not the idiots with the name on it. i would like to see some info on this thing and see some updates as they come. i wish they would rename it also, but i highly doubt that'll happen.

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 :/

Has anyone been able to get in contact with ANYONE at AA.. I've called (phone goes to VM) emailed everyday for the past 4 days, been emailing for over 2 weeks.. and have gotten no luck in contacting AA.. I ordered recones for a customer and paid over 3 weeks ago also a sub I received with a damaged basket that rendered the sub unplayable un-mountable unusable, I opted for them to send a basket and recone over 3 weeks ago and haven't heard from them since sept 17th 2012 where i was told it was going out the next day, I know it doesn't take 3 weeks to get here.... Normally i wouldn't be so worried but the 15" mayhem took almost 2 months to get here broken and now it's taki…

Hiiii, im building a sub box for a ascendant mayhem, but RE calc is wayyy off.. So I was wondering if i could get some help with someone so i can get the understanding of doing this so i dont have to have help again. PLEASE. The Mayhem is single 12", and in ported can only be in 1.75cf - 3cf. And sub displacement i know nothing of which i do and this is confusing i have 2 sheets of plywood ready to be drawn on, all going to be 1.5" thick unless you think otherwise? Was thinking around 25-35 wide, 15-17" high, 18" deep but the hertz from torres, 12 volt, and RE are all different and confuse me! Could someone make up a thing for me that would work prime around 2-3 cubic ft …

Hey guys, i drive a 2004 saturn ion, and first of all. Not using the trunk. Puting bucket seats down and putting the box on that and building my amp space in trunk by battery. Wondering some good specs for box you can reply to i can start building . I also want it double baffled and double baffled faceplace. Powering the beast with kicker kit 09PKD1, and AQ2200D.
