when did your lack of exposure to decent brand names translate to being non mainstream? Just go buy some solobarics. I'm sure all the homies know those by now, and you can buy them cheap on ebay and at circuit city.

Thats just funny.

And why do you wanna go with something mainstream? They don't have a different sound then a non mainstream sub..Or do they?

apparently to show off to others so they can say, "OOoo wow you bought that brand!" instead of buying whatever happens to sound the best to him.
My opinion is if you want something everybody knows, just for that reason, just go buy whatever your friends talk about and don't waste our time asking for what's better if it's not going to make a difference in what you want anyway. Our idea of "the best" will be based on build quality, value, and performance. Not name recognition.

So were does ascendant audio fit in then?

I just saw that there Arsenal line is on sale for pre-orders. Looks like a good deal. Also there Assassin line is priced pretty low right now.

Ascendant Audio makes good drivers. The assassin line is their entry level sub however. On par with subs like the RE "RE line" and JL W1 o W0 lines, etc.
Typical for the price.

well it depends what your goal is with your system, system i have / working on is clarity with power. i have high bass speakers and mid bass speakers, and when i get my subwoofer that will produce my low bass power. so it will be a balanced system. some people like to just mass bass, so i guess it jsut depends.

the initial question was about subwoofers, which would imply <80Hz.

High Bass, Mid Bass, Low Bass, and Mass bass. No I am all kinds of confused. I wonder what type of bass I am missing? I guess I need like 10 or so more speakers. My five just won't cut it.

But wait I though 1400 speakers in a stereo was a bad thing. Crap, now I am confused again.
