eD EHQS8 for IB setup?
I'll probably get flamed because it is not something high end, but my friend came across elemental designs closeout sale of their EHQS8" subwoofer for $5 each + shipping. He bought 6 of them, and I'm going to grab one to replace the Bose Sub.
Anyways, I will wait till I get the Eclipse DDin I want but does anyone have any experience with this subwoofer? Could anyone make a recommendation on an amplifier?
Thanks in advance.

Throw it in on the stock bose, you may not need an amp, I don't think its suited for IB applications, but I haven't done alot of research on it. IIRC it's got low power handling, so the bose amp may have sufficient juice to get it moving.

An idiot huh? You expect any kind of sufficient sound for $5...this isnt the 70's. for $5 its great...as a paperweight. My 6.5" mids have more xmax than that speaker...and those are used for 80hz and up (subs are used roughly for 80hz and down). Get something decent and enjoy a nice IB setup...but I'm an idiot.

Anyways, those eqhs's have proven to have very little power handling and I'm sure they won't do to well with most applications... isn't it odd that they removed all info about them from their website as soon as they were sold out? They also sold them for so cheap VERY quickly I don't even think they were available longer than 1 year.
Anyways, just my .02.

Haha, ok guys, no need for angry arguments. Thanks guys for all the opinions and comments. I'm not expecting pro sound out of a $5 subwoofer, but like I said, it is just a Bose replacement for cheap money. I will go with a good setup eventually, but I have other aspects of the car to take care of first. Plan someday: Eclipse DDin, Rainbow Components, undecided on future 10" Sub/Amp.
P.S. Anyone know the wattage on the Bose Amp for the 5.5? I will be searching at the same time.

Anyway.. slickrick from all the other threads I just take it that you hate on anything Elemental Designs related.
I love how you talk sh.t about the sub/mid without even listening to it.
Even if it isn't as great as your 6.5" mids (which i doubt).. they definitely didnt cost you 5 dollars a piece new.

I do hate and rightfully so...I'm entitled to my opinion whether you like it or not. for $5 you cant get a good hamburger in this country..how can you get a decent subwoofer for $5 thats worth installing? Logic makes sense here...I don't have to physically hear it to form my opinion on a $5 sub sold by the sleeziest internet subwoofer company on the net.

A guy who can't put together a logical sentence to save his life, sold peel-n-seal rebadged as edead, and copied the W7 to sell it as his own, doesnt deserve my 5 dollars, or a single penny, car audio related or not. coughbenmilnecough.

he didnt copy the W7... the basket is similar big fing deal?
And they had a clearance sale.. IE get rid of all of them at a low price
Why don't you guys use some of their items or experience some of their customer support that you wouldnt find anywhere else.
As far as Ben's grammar - yes thats sooo important.. personally Id rather have someone dedicated to the company than reading over his grammar to make it perfect
EDIT: look for yourselves:

A mistake or two is fine. My four year old cousin's writing puts him to shame, and his posts make him seem mentally challenged.

I wish SIN/cs.org was still up and people could search "kaosmoon" and see all the BS he made up. I had a purchase from ED before this forum knew of ED (except maybe don and a few others) back in 2002, and even then they pulled some BS. "O we are out of stock of the K series subs, but lets upgrade you to an A series for $195 because we cant recone the K". This is AFTER speaking with Ben himself, when he verified a jbl 600.1 could be put on the EDk 12...it blew within 2 weeks and my friend was real ticked about buying an "internet" sub in the 1st place. Or how about puttin a "preorder" for 2 12 kv2's and waiting 6 months before finally cancelling the pre-order to buy shivas; to then see the kv2's came out 8 months AFTER I cancelled it. What a joke...everyone knew they took people's $$$ to buy the kv2's because they had no capital to buy the baskets, cones, etc. by themselves. ED still owes me $.01 from the refund they gave me.
