One of my friends puchased two of the new 6.5" subs from elemental design and I must say they are quite nice imo. I only got the chance to hear them for a sec. but I was amazed at the sound coming from the two little guys. One of our other buddies has one ported in the back of his truck and one of the installers he used to work with thought he was running a 12". I was jsut wondering if anyone else had heard anything good about these or had any experience because for $50 I was thinking of picking a few up just for sh*ts and giggles.

Probably the only thing ED I would buy. I would rather buy a single 8" or 10" for the rear deck than a pair of the 6.5's.

 

4th gens dont have a single 8 in the back




Xover on amp cuts it to 200hz or less so only bass. Otherwise the mids overpower the front

 

Interesting......

 

I'll still take 3 AA 6.5's for the same price.

 

Yeah, but if you have to cut anyway.

 

My friend has an 8" sub from Soundsplinter. That things has some pretty impressive ouput. I was wondering how a couple of those would sound in the rear deck . May not be suitable for IB application though.....

 

they do look beefy...and alot like the old ED 8A which was actually a good sub. If they can be used for IB I say do it!

 

Had'em returned'em.

 

wanna see a destruction of one?

clicking...hopefully this is worth it

 

I have never understood the obession with blowing speakers, but because it's and ED product it's ok in my book.

 

Why the hate?

 

Bad business practices, poor customer service, at least until recently.

 

What cd were they playin?? Sounds kinda hot.

Oh yeah do those 6.5's bang like that?? I may have to pick up a pair to put in my rear panels.

 

Evidently thats completely changed based on what I've read from other boards. The last 2 years they've really turned the ship around...or so I've read.

 

I don't care, I love mine. Everyone that gets in my car likes them too.

 

I have seen, witnessed, and had personal experiences with them for a long time. maybe NOW they are ok; but how about trying to keep a stable line of ANY product, in stock, and from the same buildhouse seems to be borderline impossible by ED.

 

I don't I might give them another chance, there might have been other circumstances in the previous setup that i had with them that made me dislike them.

Kev what do you have them powered by?

Digital Cam BTW

I got a new tape for the regular cam so I might make a better vid soon.

Also, it's tuned ONLY to play bass, mids/highs are comming from the front.

 

I don't see anything on that vid, only sound?

 

Codecs

Do you have DivX installed on your computer?

 

Ya, I'll try it on my pc later. Don't feel like dl'ing stuff on this laptop.

 

Yeah.

They sound MUCH better after the deadener on there though.

 

Still wouldnt give a penny to Ben regardless of his products. The only place Ive seen good feedback for em was of course...ISUX, wonder why there?

 

Hey Don, I'm gonna need some MDF rings for the soundlines and my dayton for the rear doors. Should I drop off the 7"'ers?

 

how bout you pick up a jig?

You know you dont me to do this stuff, dont waste your money man.

 

Cause I don't want to pick up a tool that I'll never use again. C'mon buddy O'Pal

 

rent a saw at walmart...hey don did you get my PM about soundlines?

 

I hope I never have to warrenty these

If I do, i'll just throw some coaxials back there and get a IDMax 10 or something similar.

 

yes I did. And like I told him, Ill see what I have after everyone elses is gone.

 

Thanks...I wish he mentioned he spoke to you rather than claim he DIDN'T talk to you and claims this is why he PM'ed me.

 

do these fit right in the rear deck without cutting?

 

You have to drill new holes...
