oh yeah, chad is the owner/designer.

i'm 90% positive that one should treat it as a single voice coil 4 ohm sub. they say you should never power the second voice coil, it's only used to adjust the Qts. however, i do know that it has some funky wiring options, but i have'nt looked into it b/c i only have one. to be honest, if you call ascendant audio and ask to talk to chad he will be more than willing to shoot the sh1t with you. i've spoken to him a number of times, he usually answers the phone (small company i guess), but he's cool as sh1t.

That's correct. The Atlas is a 4-ohm, SVC sub.

i just hooked up my Atlas 12 last night (http://www.ascendantaudio.com); it's getting 230 watts from my memphis amp and it makes my ears hurt. it is also a true variable Q sub. it's a 4 ohm sub with a second voice coil that is strictly used to adjust the Qts by either placing a wire jumper across the vc or leaving it open, etc. i ran some wire from that coil and installed a potentiometer in my console which allows me to adjust the Qts "on the fly." it's pretty sweet. more bass than i thought i would get with such few watts. SQ is great. for the wattage that a kappa will take, i would definitely recommend looking into an Atlas.

good subs all, but for the price range, there are others to consider too.

kappas are good for SQ, but not real high on the SPL scale. they're detailed and accurate, but the output is often considered a bit weak if you like bass heavy response as opposed to flat response or just bass fill in a smaller system
Ditto on the weak output but good SQ -first hand experience.

$107-109 at Etronics.com for the Type R's, but be sure of the shipping cost.
