Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1144 Registered: Aug-05 | Yea, I was going to get pics of the magnets, but really, they're nothing fancy like Audiobahn bling and such. If I didn't keep spending money on this stuff I could probably get a decent camera lol, Oh well. Nope, didn't waste time at all. Had them ripped open and everything in less than 20 minutes lol. In fact, after taking out my Volfs. I realized how "plain" these look, but then, they made up in performance even if I don't have enough wattage per sub (~400W RMS to each). The Arsenals I hear are great SQL subs, and play pretty dang loudly! Have fun with those! |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4970 Registered: Jul-05 | ""What type of 1200W RMS @ 2 ohms could I get that puts out an honest amount of power for about $250-300?"" Tyler i saw u ask this in another thread - JBL gto 1200.1 will do u good & its in ur price range ... |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 574 Registered: Sep-05 | looks nice Tyler. looks like you going for SQ. that was a quick install, sounds like one of mines, 20mins. lamo what amp are u using with those? and whats the rms a peice? |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1148 Registered: Aug-05 | Audiobahn A8000T, 800W RMS @ 2 ohms (400W RMS a piece). Well, it's got great SQ, but I can make things in my house vibrate on the inside, so it's pretty loud actually. In fact, if you try talking inside the car while it's playing loudly, your voice gets kind of garbled, it's neat lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1149 Registered: Aug-05 | Dang Rovin, that amp's about $400 just on normal sites lol. Also, that s/n ratio is kind of appalling, but I think I'll keep looking for a bit. But the power is definitely what I'm looking for from that amp, we'll see though. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4972 Registered: Jul-05 | i was talking about ebay which u should check out cause they got lots of stuff cheap there & guaranteed u will find something 4 those subs ..... |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 576 Registered: Sep-05 | sealed boxes really slam if they are big. I just like my boxes hugge. Tyler I know a sealed box can get very LOUD. You need a 1500d on those things. |

Silver Member Username: Lil_jonPost Number: 304 Registered: Jul-05 | i thought u wer gonna get sum strokers |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1151 Registered: Aug-05 | What? Strokers? Dude, I couldn't afford to power those things...And they don't offer much in SQ as they are SPL woofers. B, here's a link to a similar (looks identical) box that I have. I bought mine a while ago though. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DUAL-12-SEALED-3-4-MDF-SUBWOOFER-SUB-BOX-ENCLOSURE_W0QQi temZ5856109316QQcategoryZ14945QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem What brand is 1500d made by? |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4976 Registered: Jul-05 | u^^^ lazy dogg ! , u said last wk that u were going 2 build ur own & then u went & bought a prefab -lol Well maybe if u got it cheap that 1 on that ebay link looks good though , but s/h is a b!tch ......... |

Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 582 Registered: Nov-05 | i dont like prefabs. i like my boxes made for the sub im usin. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4617 Registered: Dec-04 | 1200 watts is too much for the assassins they need a solid clean 300-400 to reach their full potential. The stroker is not a spl sub its a SQL sub. |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 591 Registered: Sep-05 | They are some good prefab boxes. Some may fit the specs perfectly! Tyler i was saying a 1500rms amp, but James Longo said 1200 would be too much power. But its good to have a little more power than needed. |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1153 Registered: Aug-05 | Rovin, that's the box I used to have my Volfenhags in. I neither bought a new pre-fab or built one for that matter. I MAY look into porting, but I don't know if I need it. I went outside, and checked my gain setting, and adjusted it accordingly (no distortion, just clean, loud, deep bass!) and these subs are amazing! They drown out my car speakers in the midrange level, shake things in my house, my house is almost 200 years old and built very solid. I accidently set my remote on my trunk, and well, it almost became a smashed piece of junk! All I have to say is the Assassins are worth their price even after the sale. I'd hate to how loud and Arsenal or Havoc sub will be! I finally feel like I can brag a bit about my system too lol. I don't have to "make up" things to my friends about how good Volfenhags are (even if they do outperform a lot of their systems). I just can't get over the output of them. It makes me happy I didn't buy CV V-Max's. James, which Stroker are you talking about? The old one, or the new Stroker/Stroker Pro series? GW and Jonathan at one point both told me the Stroker Pro is an SPL sub, and not a daily driver to be used for good sounding music, but rather loud SPL burps. But finally, I can't say enough good about these subs. James is right the 400W RMS is plenty, I just needed to set the settings on my amp more appropriately. |

Anonymous | well tyler the reason why you think they dont get that loud is because those are SQ subs if you go to their website it says it. If you wanted louder you should of went for the arsenals. |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1154 Registered: Aug-05 | Well, for SQ, they're louder than my Volfenhags with no distortion at all. I'm pleased, currently I'd say I've got the loudest best sounding system in my county, and I didn't break the bank for it! |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1155 Registered: Aug-05 | "It performs just as well in creating reference level home theater output as it does pumping out huge amounts of clean bass in your car." Sounds to me like it's a lower end SQL sub to me...Not to be compared to the Arsenal, but with the output I'm getting I couldn't ask for more. |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 597 Registered: Sep-05 | shiit, they say 400rms, i would give them 600 a peice. thats just me though. lol =D they will get loud and sound goood. A 1000D amp on the pair will be plenty loud. |

|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1158 Registered: Aug-05 | LOL @ Danel. Yea, they're pretty to look at, and I really am liking the fact of how they look plain, as it's a big detraction on theft (i hope) since people find "pretty" things a better steal so to speak. Yea, I was thinking maybe an Ed Nine.1 or something someday. |

Anonymous | tyler can you feel the lows when it hits, have you tried late night tip? i just ordered three but one is for my gf car.I was thinkin about going ported. And i think you will be more pleased with the subs when they are broken in. And also i have the exact same amp can you tell me how everything is set on your amp. |
|
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1637 Registered: Sep-04 | it wont matter how his amp is set. you need to set the gains according to your HU and since you will eb ported you need to set ur subsonic filter according to your tune. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 312 Registered: Oct-05 | how do you like that amp tyler? how does it perform, i heard pretty well... wut is the rms of each of those subs? |
|
Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California Post Number: 302 Registered: May-05 | Tyler, how do you not have enough wattage per sub?? they are rated at 350 rms and your giving them 400 |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1162 Registered: Aug-05 | Well I do have enough wattage now that I adjusted everything. On that amp, I have the gain set to, well I'll show you a pic.  The sound is great. The lows really hit you (30Hz and lower especially) and the highs from them start to become more noticeable as they are broken in. I have the LPF set to 80Hz. The amp performs very well for the price you pay, and the sound quality from it isn't bad at all! Although I think the subs are a HUGE help in sound quality. In fact, when playing Throw It Up today, my front windshield (no lie) actually had some flex to it. It makes me want to try ported, but then I wonder how much SQ I'll be sacrificing as well as will it be too much bass. My Volf. 5x7's have a hard time keeping up, and hopoefully when I run my A6004T to them, they're keep up a bit better, until I can get some CV V-Mag components. All in all, these subs are amazing! |

Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California Post Number: 309 Registered: May-05 | Im going to order a 12" arsenal probably tomorrow or tuesday (my birthday) nice present for myself eh? |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1163 Registered: Aug-05 | Heck yes! That's what my Assassins were lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California Post Number: 310 Registered: May-05 | lol nice! |
|
Silver Member Username: AstrosafariDelhi, Ontario Canada Post Number: 231 Registered: Aug-05 | why is amp on the box a big no no? |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1164 Registered: Aug-05 | Well, Corey, it's controversial. My amp's been there forever, not a problem. I'll switch it up someday lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: AstrosafariDelhi, Ontario Canada Post Number: 238 Registered: Aug-05 | whats the theory people say the reson is to not have your amp on there? i here that it is not good at all to mount your amp to metal. |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1165 Registered: Aug-05 | Metal? Not sure about the metal theory. The reason people say amp mounting on boxes is bad because it vibrates the electronic parts inside, and just isn't good. |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 619 Registered: Sep-05 | Tyler I heard that metal crap b4. Its all bulshiit! Metal dont matter; cause its grounded already! Its not going to short, Its ground to begin with. There some stupid rumor people are saying. Its basic electronics to me.. |

|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1167 Registered: Aug-05 | Havocs I believe are going to be an SPL sub...Better watch it if you want some SQ. If you want some SQ try a couple Arsenals. On the AA site, anyone notice something about Alliance Subs? What are they? |
|
Gold Member Username: 54danny54Betsy layne, Kentucky..GO... USA duh Post Number: 1567 Registered: Nov-04 | alliance are HT subs(home theater) i called chad and he said the havocs will sound good for competition woofers but id say im stepping 2 the arsenals...still be a great woofer and il get another later hopefully |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1173 Registered: Aug-05 | bump Just because! |
|
Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 614 Registered: Sep-05 | nice subs........What I don't like is how all the expensive/top of the line subs look so plain. I know they are deadly subs, but honestly, I don't like the look of them. IMO, I thinks my type R looks better, but I DEFF would rather loud bass than bling. And no, I'm not a fan of audiobahn's bling either, lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1657 Registered: Sep-04 | i think the best look is JLs w7 w6v2 and now w3v3 . so simple and plain and clean its seems as if its glimmering lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: 54danny54Betsy layne, Kentucky..GO... USA duh Post Number: 1571 Registered: Nov-04 | anything with a plain black cone is very sex y 2 me...and if i had teh chance, i would steal in a heartbeat lol |
|
Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerWellsburg, WV USA Post Number: 1174 Registered: Aug-05 | Well at least Kentucky is a good drive away (lol). Yea, the plain cone reminds me of the vintage speakres I have as well as SOME newer ones that haven't switched to the ever so popular aluminum or kevlar cone. Something about black poly or paper cones with black rubber (or preferably sometimes) treated foam just looks good. Ever noticed they seem to smell good lol? I know my home speakers, Cerwin Vega V-12F's, just reak of that electronic smell. My friend actually told me once to quit "huffing" my speakers. But the same friend also said that these new subs look chincy and cheap. (Moron) Considering to get a pair shipped after the sale is going to run nearly $320!!! |
