    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

    I have a high quality 2 channel stereo system at home and use a subwoofer to give the bottom end a boost. My sub is fitted with an RE Audio SR10 drive unit and powered with a 500 watt amplifier. Do you think a 10 inch AA Chaos would give an improvement to the sound quality, the enclosure is sealed by the way.

    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…

    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

    Hi AA group, I am not sure about this matter so I decided to post it here for much better idea than assumptions. What will be louder 2 15" in sealed or 1 15" in ported, I'm listening mostly to house, trance, R & B, hiphop and love songs. Thanks.
