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 for making such a stunning product!!

Thanks Yeah im gonna stay in the hatch area, wouldve gone out of the hatch area if i didnt have to cut out any metal..

Whats up guys. Ive been trying to build a box for my (yet to arrive) 18" Ascendant Audio Chaos but it isn't really turning out how i would like it. You guys must have some tricks/ideas that i just dont know about yet (ive only built L-Ported boxes)! I'm trying to get this box as big as possible with the small dimensions i have to work with. I dont know about the tuning frequency, i've been happy with 33hz in previous setups, but i dont know, what do you recommend? I listen to rap music. I'd like the box to fit in my (small) '99 honda civic hatch. These are the max exterior dimensions i can work with: 26.3" deep 30.7" wide 20.1" high It will have to be ported up towards the hatch to allow the port to breathe. I've thought about taking out the backseats and just making a huge box but there's this metal seat latch that i just dont want to cut away... Can you guys help me? Thanks a BUNCH. Robin

I used the search function but didnt find anything.. The Chaos is rated at 800, but im wondering how much it can REALLY take. I know companies like Fi, AA, DD, underrate their products.. Thanks alot guys/girls!

dont shoot me (barf me ) thats what ive heard!

so what about subwoofers that like high tuning? like the hdc3, its preferred tuning freq is 36hz+ (orsomething around). you shouldnt play these loud below tuning? there must be more involved right?

how about an hdc3 ?

Buy a monoblock. Bridging a 2chan to 1chan causes a certain distortion. Monoblocks have better powersupplies that can take more beatin. doesnt get as hot, etc.

good thing it aint a regular acid battery

man i love this shit. cheap ass cars with TONS of subs the pressure must be insane. LOVE IT

Sup guys Given i have limited space in my ride i was wondering which of these boxes would be loudest: ported 5.3cuft after displacements @ 31hz or sealed 6.88cuft after sub displacement I could tear out the backseats which would give me plenty room to make huge boxes (16cuft) but im not really eager to do so. But i will if there's no real option. Im also just wondering if this will be louder/lower than my previous setup : 2 12" RF Punch HX2's ~ 4.3cuft @ 33hz PS. This is on a 1000wrms
