updates on my setup & some reviews

[I want SExxx 10+ year member]

I haven't been on here for a while so I figured I'd get on here and let you all know what's up with my setup and give a few reviews. My Audio is finalized in the Explorer except for a Head Unit. The 2 AV18's are in (13cuft net to 28hz) and now are being powered by an Autotek Mean Machine MX3000.1. This thing has too much juice I love the head room the bass has so much depth. Ohh yea and there's not a daily setup yet I've heard that is as loud as this. It absolutely POUNDS. I haven't got it metered yet, but I'm hoping for close to a 150. I've had some very trained ears tell me I'm there. I decided to go with Ascendant's Arco components since I'm an Ascendant wh0re now. I've loved all of their products so far and Chad is about the most straight up guy out there in the buisness and I'm going to continue to support his great company. I'm thinking about getting one of those Ural HU's and running the Arco's active with my two old school amps. Orion 275SX for the mids and a PPI Art Series A200 for the tweets. I'll throw some sort of rear fill in there too. I also bought a pair of the Assassin 12's to play around with. 220 shipped to my door and the one word is AMAZING. These things perform WAY higher then their price. DEFINATELY better then the atlases. And all you VD is the way to get loud ect... ppls out there don't even argue because I'm right. Assassin>Atlas supposedly Arsenal>Avalanche (Everything Chad has said has come true so far so I have no reason not to believe him). Havoc>ALL. But yea they went in a way too small sealed box (.75cuft each) with WAY too much power (as much as they could take from a BX1605D before bottoming out) and they still picked up the lows very well I mean WAY DOWN THERE like 20hz low. These are also some of the most Accurate subs I've ever heard. I can't say enough about them. They will be going in my living room in 3 cubes each to 18hz. Well that's about all for now.

20hz is a joke, right? Especially in 0.75 cubes sealed. You can't just expect a sub to blatantly defy Hoffman's Iron Law. The only way it's possible is if it has an absurdly low efficiency. I only got my LI 12 to play flat to 30hz by putting it in 3.2 cubes @ 30hz and using a SSF with an adjustable Q. Flat to 20 in 13 cubes @ 28hz? Sure. 0.75 sealed? Bull****. =\

No offense, but I need RTA responses and SPL scores before I could believe that.

Why don't you research a little more before you post some retarted *** comment in my thread. Did I ever say they played flat to 20hz no I didn't thank you very much smart ***. After measuring the box its a little over a cube per sub. Just because they aren't loud at 20hz (sub 35hz for that matter) doesn't mean they can't pick it up.

Noah I don't care.

Well I guess I can finally talk freely about the havoc since info is released, but Havocs are in a whole different league then Avalanches. They aren't a lower BL loose suspension sub that rely's on massive xmax and Large boxes to get loud. They have a lot of motor strength and a lot tighter suspension and rediculous power handling levels, but it will still have good SQ. The havoc is more like a magnum SX DP or MT type of sub. DONT think I'm trying to compare the havoc to any of those, but that's the type of driver it is High BL tighter suspension that will get LOUD especially close to tuning.

We'll agree to disagree. You could always prove me wrong with an RTA. *hint hint*
