Rythmik Audio subs at Ascend Acoustics

[jvgillow]

Many people have been waiting to see what Ascend would offer as their subwoofer line since they stopped selling HSU subs a few years ago.

Well, take a look

I am very tempted again to upgrade my Mirage. These subs look awesome!

Good move by Ascend.

Those are some tasty looking subs at GREAT prices. I would like to see a shoot out between the ULS-15 from Hsu Research, and the Ascend RYTHMIK F-15. Both are sealed 15's forward firing. Hmmm .

Would you guys recommend the down-firing D15 or the front-firing F15? Regardless of price?

You might need to call Ascend and ask them the differences and decide yourself. These subs were all available in kit form, and I only know of one forum member that has one. And I can't remember his name

 

[Inertia]

Anyone else?!

Are they running the same amps as the rythmik...

I am also wondering if they are using a different box or what the construction is.

I like front -firing for front and down firing for rear. If budged allows get front-firing first and later down-firing

nope.

370w RMS class A/B servo controlled

for the rythmik, it probably slopes off the low end at high drive levels (if the 12"er is something like the 15"er)

 

[Hi Ho]

It looks like they used the same Rythmik provided plans that I used to build my Rythmik sub. It looks the same except for the feet. I can say that the sub ROCKS though and I would highly recommend it.

 

[j_garcia]

Yes, they are basically fully built versions of the kits that Rythmik offers. At first glance, 370w might seem like it isn't a ton, but I am using their A350 amp with my 15" and it really surprised me in terms of what it is capable of.

 

[emorphien]

Fancy. Out of my price range though!

Not if you can do the wood work yourself Price is quite a bit lower.

 

[emorphien]

Don't really have the space, time or means to do that either! haha

 

[darien87]

They look good, but the pricing is a bit high in my opinion. Basically they are charging you $400 for the box. If you're good at woodworking, you can just buy the Rythmik kit and materials and save yourself about $300.

I love my Rythmik. But it definitely isn't as pretty as the ones on the Ascend site.

 

[Gimpy Ric]

I love my Rythmik.

And thats all that matters .

Is www.rythmikaudio.com still in business? I am trying to access the site for about a month with not luck.

 

[j_garcia]

Problem is on your side then, because I have been to the site a few times recently and your link works fine.

I've been on their site using Firefox and Google Chrome recently.
