get that puppy fired up... i am anxious for a review.... i am looking at doing 2 of these 1 cuft ported at 28hz! Finally I can give a short review as I have had some time to let it break in and test it out on some different music. Overall I am very impressed with it. For only feeding it 250W it hits pretty hard. I have this in a extended cab truck and what I wanted out of it has been met. I don't need the neighbors to hear me from around the corner unless I want them too, and they have a few times when I let it loose. It seems to respond very well to fast alternative/rock bass notes and can get very low while listening to rap. I think that if I had it anywhere other than behind my seat, I would feed it at least 350W and probably run 2 of them, as you mentioned you were thinking of doing. I say give it hell, and go for 2, I dont think you will be disappointed. Weird the AA site says the cutout is 7.5". Did you use that design? If so glad you liked it. For the cutout, I had to go just a hair over 7 3/8" to get it in there. I just started sanding with 120 grit until it fit. Thank you again for the design.

Glad I bought from SSA when I did! Hope to see a dealer in the San Antonio area, although I doubt it.

Well so far so good with the silicon. I had a bunch of errands to run today so the radio was on the whole time and it seems to be holding up well. I guess eventually I will need a re-cone but for now I think it will be alright.

Thanks Nick, I ended up using some 100% silincon on the backside. I let it cure for 24 hours and gave it a go today for a good 30-45 minutes, and all seems to be alright. I gotta say, I am impressed with this little thing. Made a lot more sound than I was expecting. Thanks again for the info. One more thing, how much is a recone? JJ

Well I was planning on installing my 8" assassin today...however I am an idiot and accidentaly sent the drill through the surround and tore it pretty bad. How do I get in contact with someone at AA to get this thing sent in for repair? I have emailed them before, about something else, and got no response back. A phone number in a PM would be great. Thanks. JJ

No I havent had a chance to hook it up yet. I've been really busy at work, and had to deal with a bad sinus infection so when I get home I just want to crash. I did go out tonight to mount the sub and drill holes for the tee nuts only to discover that I cut the mount hole a little too big. I think I should have went 7.25" instead of 7.5" I have about 1/16" to work with and I dont feel safe mounting that thing in there with just a sliver of wood on the other side of a screw. Oh well! I will get a quarter sheet of MDF this weekend and get it fixed. Shouldn't take long. I'll let you know once its hooked up how it works out.

I just received my 8" AA assassin and when I opened the box it has a Fi dust cap and literature/sticker inside the box. Are AA and Fi one in the same? Not that it matters, just curious. Thanks. JJ

Will do, thank you again.

bromo, Thank you so much for that plan. As for your suggestion about sub placement to the left, once I get the MDF cut I will mock it up and move it as needed. I'll post some pics as I make some progress! Thank you again. DoubleJ

Hello, I'm new to the forum and would like some help with a box for an 8" assassin. I was wondering if someone would be interested in designing a slot ported box for me that would fit in the following dimensions: 17" wide by 14" front to back. I am not too concerned with height, just dont want to go over 12" if possible. The box is going in a 2007 Frontier Kingcab, behind my driver seat. I think the specs on the AA site say .5@35, but have read threads where people are saying .6@40. I mainly listen to rock/alternative music if that helps with the tuning. I am getting ready to order a new one next week from the TeamSSaudio website, and would like to build the box before it gets here. I will be powering the sub with a Memphis 16-MCD250, 250W@2ohms. Oh yeah I looked at the CA.com free box plans at the .6 @ 35 but the dimensions are a little too wide(19.5"). Thanks in advnce.
