Ascendant Audio Question

[AustinKP 10+ year member]

Is anyone familiar with Ascendant Audio? Specifically, with this sub. It looks to me to be similar to Adire's Koda 12, but a lot cheaper. It would go perfectly with the available power I have, but so would a Koda 12. Recommendations?

Supposed to be pretty solid subs...they're a fairly new company however so not a lot of people have actually had first hand experience with the drivers.

The koda and the atlas both use xbl^2 technology, but beyond that they're completely different drivers...probably pretty closely matched I would think though, although please don't hold me to that.

Maybe I read that wrong, but you seemed to just contradict yourself? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif How do you mean they completely different? -Austin

Both use XBL^2, that is where the similarities stop.

they are good-ish. i know a guy on these forums who was (maybe still is?) a world SQ competitor, and HE just bought one of them. i dunno if that tells you anything, but it sure hinted somthing to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

anywho. ive long since decided that im getting the avalanche15. if that tells you anything.

id rather have the atlas over the koda //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

but thats personal prefrence.

They're completely different designs beyond the xbl^2, but in performance they're probably pretty close to one another is what I was saying.

Oh, gotcha. Thanks

And there are plenty of competitors who compete and win with similar products......what's your point??? Jason Winslow (who is sponsored by Brax) dropped an ID10v3 in his Honda for World Finals........does that mean we should all flock to the IDv3's??

To answer your question; the Koda isn't out yet, and not many people have handled the Ascendant. Right now, there is no way to tell. I'm sure they'll both perform well, and which one is best for you will come down to personal preference.

im not basing my decisions on any of that. i just said he did, and that says its not 'junk' if you understand me.

and jason winslow who used an 1d10v3 - that tells us that image dynamics must make some good shit if he uses it for world finals if you understand me.

based on the two drivers that i have *NOT* used. and the information ive *SEEN* about them, amongst other things ive read and people ive talked to who *USE\d* them - id rather own an atlas - just because.

thats all.
