Ascendant Havoc blown, need to know where to send it

[Phlipbak 10+ year member]

Well, I'm just going to copy what I sent to AA's tech email:

I purchased two Ascendant Audio Havoc 12's (dual 1 ohm coils) last summer, and was unable to install

them until a month or two ago. I had them in a 2 cubic foot sealed box, being powered by

an AudioQue 2200D with no audible distortion. The amp was connected to a BatCap

2000, and was receiving around 14v while driving, and around 13v at idle.

Here is my problem. I was listening to a low-hitting song, one that I had listened to

many times with this setup, and it sounded great. After a couple minutes, one sub stopped

playing.

I removed the problem woofer, thinking it was a connection issue inside the box since the

other sub was still playing and the problem woofer was not hot and the suspension was

not stiff.

There was no connection issue, so I tested the problem woofer on a different amp, and

it would not play.

I have checked the woofer slightly, and from what I can tell, all the tinsel leads are in pristine

condition, the spider and coil looks fine, and nothing is burned or disconnected. I have no

idea what the issue is.

my guess is the bottom of the coil is damaged breaking coil wire from rocking in the gap...

Put a DMM on the coils and test em out.
