Very nice! I tried to get pictures on the competitor side but when I walked through the majority of the vehicles were closed up. I tried a few times but no dice. I got some good shots from the vendor side though.

I am embarrassed to admit this has happened to me in the past. I changed the batteries in the DMM and the coils all read correctly. Not saying this is the case here, but I do know they test the coils before they leave. So I recommend trying to get a reading with another DMM.

More user error.

 

Edit: Sorry my son keeps hitting the keyboard. LOL

 

Why would watching other people blow up their equipment make you unhappy? Question what really happened. I would still like to see those pictures.

Sorry to hear about this happening. I would like to see the pics of the driver. Specifically the speaker wire connectors, leads, spider assembly, and triple joint if you can post. I am also interested in your electrical system including the power/ground distribution for the entire system less the radio. Wire size and grounding points on the chassis of the vehicle. That information will help diagnose the cause. 

 

Although your amp is "rated" for less power that a driver can take, things can happen during playback. A square wave has the potential to cook any sub. An internal short inside the amplifier of component failure can do this as well.

No published specs yet.

Only the chrome stickers were discontinued. The dust cap shown above will be reserved for team members.

Edit: All of the standard colors are available including the new pink and purple options. Edit

Well done! The only thing I would change is a slightly longer pause on the Proudly Built in the USA sticker. :)/>

Well done SSA! This has all the right stuff to be an epic performer. I look forward to seeing lots of builds with this driver. Has anyone modeled this in a traditional 4th order yet?

Purple:

It is a nice color. A little deeper than the picture shows.

Chris

I have the purple too. I can post a picture of the decal if you would like.

Pink.

Sub is sold locally. Thanks for looking.

Chris

Do it!

LMAO! (tapsfoot)....

What is the cost differential? That would make up my mind. I am a huge fan of the Havoc and have chosen them many times in the past.

The pics look nice, what kind of camera do you use?

Thanks, Cannon EOS T3i

Build log will begin in the Spring. Here are the prelims I posted at AVS.

I will be posting here as well.

Just wanted to say thank you to Shawn and Scott for making a great product and sourcing materials and labor in the U.S.A.

On to the speaker porn:

Who doesn't like a picture of 4 boxes next to each other...touching.

and one next to a 12" AA Arsenal

Best Regards,

No problem. I am sitting here ripping a few hundred cd's to a huge HD.

Sure do Enrique, responded to your PM's. Keep me posted.

Chris

I usually get a response ranging from 1-3 days. They should see it here.

And I ordered 4 IB318s!!

Bad ass! Home Theater?

Excellent choice. The standard Q will do very well in a ported enclosure.

If you are doing a single sub, D2 will definitely be easier to find an amp.Any ~1000-1500 watt amps that are 1ohm stable will be great.

Chris

And just so you know, these are killer medium power (~750) SQ subs. The box recommendations that are on the AA site are perfect however this driver has increased power handling over the listed driver.

Chris

Like my Havoc thread which is located here:

I copied the pictures I posted on ca but have had nothing but problems with their site. I am also no longer able to use the PM feature there. My SN in every forum is filtor1 with exception to this one. If you need me to take new pictures with Chris on them I will do so.

12" AA Arsenal D1 2 slug motor

BNIB Only taken out for pictures.
