I do not follow Eduh anymore but based on that auction it looks like ED needs to find ANOTHER build house.

According to everything posted over at ICIX, ED has brought their driver building in-house. Those ID drivers my be left-over Ov.2's (with a different dust-cap and correct T/S parameters) or they may be different drivers all together. I'm guessing the latter. They probably had a bunch of parts laying around and ID decided not to let them go to waste. The dual 4 ohm version looks better to me since it has a stronger motor structure.

Those actually look pretty nice with black duscap/white cone...but a 90 day warranty isn't so great considering price and that they are coming from the manufacturer itself. Makes IDv3's more lucrative.

Why exactly do you say that? They seem to be growing fine and the products are great for the money....I havent seen too many that have been disappointed with the product. Every other audio forum seems to be fine with them EXCEPT this one...why is that? Just curious...

Well ive heard great things about the PRODUCTS (Excluding e dead) Even from the haters....its the customer service that everyone is pissed off about, thats the way i see it. Yes Rick ive read those threads Again, it seems to be the same thing, DELAYS. The problems with their products seem non-existent with the new line of products...I heard Ben is an *** though...lmao

mendon,
if you can go with old school power bro
soundstream rubicon 10.0 would be perfect for that one. Skip that class d mess and get you some a/b power in there. Old school fosgate 500m would be a good one. Even An old zeus. WOOHOO. Zapco studio 500 anyone? How about a nice new shiny Orion 2150 or even the PPI 2350 or an art series?

And on the elemental thing. I like the fact that I can get the deadening by the foot. The cheapest is peel and seal as Ive discovered recently, but I used some of the 1.60 and it did a decent job. The edead worked alright, but that damn fifteen did knock some chunks off of the trunklid. FTMFL.

eDead = peel n seal. i learned that the hard way. My a series sub from them was great, but thats cuz tc sounds made it

I don't think the subs are a problem with them anymore. the comps are made by cd tech so they are good. the amps, i wouldnt go with the amps.

And the comps look promising....i may get the 6500s a little later...

They are more similar than people claim them to be. However I would not consider any ED product.

yep...and the opinion of a majority of the audio forums members. trust me I've indirectly dealt with them since 2002 and nothing has changed with them since.

yeah, thats what i meant when i said the cheapest is peel and seal. I used some of the 1.60 version 2 butyl stuff and its cool i guess. I cheated and did the rear deck on top, then used some liquid on that and the sludge type crap on the rear deck. Then i put some of the dynamat extreme on the bottom side, just a little bit.
