Anyone have any idea how they will perform?

They have 350W RMS power handling, and I'm guessing will work in sealed or ported.

On the AA site they brag a lot about it's output, but compare it to the Avalanche. How loud was an Avalanche when they were around anyways?

I'm wanting something louder and better sound than V-Max's, and I know SE's can already do that.

But at $95 each for an Assassin, well, that price can't be beat! Any information, much appreciated.

on the website they compare it to the atlas, which i have 2 so, if the assassin is louder than the atlas one 15 would probally be around 135-140db range and if the sq is better than omg cause imo the atlas's have great sq, so for $95 i think i would be a good deal.

That's what I'm thinking.

1 Atlas 15" is about 135-140dB eh? I wonder what I could expect out of 2 Assassin 12's in an enclosure ported to about 30Hz...

This is going to sound stupid too...But why doesn't AA put logos on their subs? Even RE does lol. It'd be nice to be able to say they are AA subs and have proof.

Because around here, people would think I just put some crappy woofers from Radio Shack in my car lol.

LOL i've wondered that to, even though no one around here would even know about about AA it would still be cool, and even though i haven't had my system metered i was reading on another forum that some guy had 1 12inch atlas ported to 32hz and 400watts, was hitting 137db, so its very passable to do.

Well, where is "Hicksville" in Ohio anyways? I get the feeling it's not that far away from Wellsburg, WV.

i like the nondescript approach they are taking. i intentionally had my brahmas built w/o the logo for the same clean presentation.

Well I see.

I just wish someone on here would be the Assass guinea pig lol. I've talked to HexiBase from Team Toxic Bass on MySpace (that all rhymes lol), and he said the Assassins will outperform V-Max's in all categories such as SPL/SQ. So I'm guessing they'll get pretty dang loud lol. I think that's going to be my choice...

Just got word from Hexi again.

He said the Assassins and Arsenals have shown to easily handle double their RMS values. Must be nice to get all this insider information...

And this is bad how? People won't try to steal them and when you do show them off sound-wise "Oh these cheap things. I think I picked them up at RadioShack" :-)

I know looks can be nice, but I don't show people my sub.

So wait, you don't show people your subs? You never open the trunk and let them watch?

It's all good though, I'm ordering them anyways :P.

LMAO at the Radio Shack thing...Maybe I better take it out of my AIM profile that I'm getting these lol.

The pre-sale orders are being shipped at the end of Jan. so I'm guessing once they're shipped, the pre-sale is over!
