Always heard great things about aa assassins but....

i almost never hear people comparing them to other subs....all i hear is how they are great drivers for the money, or that nothing in the price range beats them. So my question is, what subs below $200 can compare with the assassins and be at least twice as good...in sq and spl. I'm looking for 8" and 10" only

At least twice as good? There is nothing, I can almost gurantee. That's a big gap to fill

From what I've read(no experience) they are supposed tobe great drivers for the money, and if you keep reading itme and time again, FIND A WAY to hear them in person, or just buy them

Avas man. Avas. As far at the assassin. A guy I work with just tried to buy a 10 or a 12 and couldn't. Waiting list so i talked him into getting an IDMax 12 off ebay. Oh well.

I ordered a 12" Arsenal from them. It's under $200. I have yet to hear anyting from them as to the status of my order yet though. Left a couple of messages and no call back yet.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

They don't usually open until 12:00 CST. I stopped by yesterday and picked up a pair of Assassin 8's and another pair of poly mids. He was out of the 10's for 2 more weeks, but had the 12's in stock also.

GF wants more trunk space, so I grabbed the 8's. Going into the AA ported spec box this weekend. Awesome looking little sub for $50...

Beating factory direct is hard, especially since the Ascendant drivers are so nice. In the price range many of AA's older drivers would be a good bet as well. Especially if that ebay auction on the old ones arent' over yet.

i was wondering the same...kinda.

thinkin about a couple assassins or a single arsenal. anyone compare the two?

 

[xluben 10+ year member]

i had two assassin's

now i have two arsenal's

both powered with about RMS wattage, same box, the arsenal's are a bit louder, but have much more low end extension.

SQ is similar (good) with both.
