Nice choice in sub but FYI $4000 is way too much to pay for what you are having done. I say get some more price quotes. Shit you could probably take a road trip up to Jersey and pay about half of that to get done and it would probably come out better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I understand, but having the door panels completely rebuilt to house a six, four and tweet, gutting the floor board and creating space for the kicks housing the W06s, fixing the last installers screw up on my a-pillars for my upstage and re-mounting those tweeters, building a customer amp enclosure with multiple fans to hide, secure and cool the amps, more fiberglass work in the back to enclose and allow for the 6 inch driver install, build a sub enclosure, wire everything with 0 and 2/4 gauge wire, and the price ($400) for the alpine MRV 450 along with the JL 6W0s is a lot. I checked several references for multiple installers in the area and came up with this guy as a solid choice. Thus I was not complaining about the price as last time I went cheap and was very unhappy with the results. (sort of get what you pay for situation)

Oh dear god no. Its NOT...I repeat....NOT an "Adire Motor". Wow...can't believe you even remarked that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
The motors, the designs, the nearly everything is 100% Chad and Ascendant Audio. The only thing Chas WAS using was Adire's XBL^2 technology as a part of his design process. His newest lines will no longer be using the XBL^2 technology and will be using a free base tech that apparently offers very similar performance to his current lines, if not better.

If Chad said you were getting some of the newest subs, ones with a higher power handling, then most likely you'll be getting non-XBL^2 technology subs.

First, I apologize for getting that wrong. You are correct on several statements.

1) Chad did design the sub

2) It is not a brand new design just a new size for that model

3) It does contain the XBL^2 technology

again not trying to take anything from Chad as he was the most helpful person I called yesterday and was the main reason I bought the sub. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

Yeah that sounds like alot more work then I thought you were getting done. Still seems a little steep but if you are happy with the price and ofcourse the results, then it's all good.

How would the Re xxx 12" compare to the Avalanche 12". This could be a good debate considering the XXX goes for 400$ a piece and Avalanche goes for 200$?

I'm f*cking confused. Is he getting an old Avalanche with XBL^2 and it's just going to take a couple weeks to get it out to him, or is he waiting on the new Avalanche models without the XBL^2? He keeps saying the new Avalanches with XBL^2 but that's not possible. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

yes it is and it pointed me to this post and 154 others that dont have pics of this sub. thanks though.

 

[robman69 10+ year member]

check the web page... it will list the 12 as comming soon. He has some on hand now but with the XBL^2 technology that he is selling at a discount. Sorry for the confusion. I too was confused when i started this thread, but after talking to Chad and others here this is the situation. Chad will soon have all his products with new technology that will/should handle even more power with the same if not better results.

 

[T9X 10+ year member]

Ok, so you're getting one of the old stock Avalanche 12"s. Now I understand. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 

[robman69 10+ year member]

The reason customers have to wait a couple of weeks for shipment is that Chad is waiting on the dustcaps to come in. The ones delivered for this stock were incorrect and he had to reorder them.
