In case I missed it in a previous trend, what about re-cones for the E8v1's.....I've got four that need it, will we be able to send them in and get them upgraded????

I read in one post by Jacob that with these E8 v.2 being released the v.1 recones would be available.

4 and 9/16" mounting depth... almost forgot.

[jrod1050 5]

do these perform well in sealed enclosures?

[jrod1050 5]

Nevermind I see that you answered my question on ****. .2 or .3 sealed sounds good

[Totalnewbie007 4]

Can I pre-order 16 baskets, and soft-parts? Can you pm me a price on that?

I'll have pricing once the parts get here and I break out import costs and whatnot. Also need to do final checks on the coils to make sure both the D2 and D4 fit -- if not I'll have specialized E8 v.1 coils made and simply use the E8 v.2 parts besides the coil.

Yes was it the 15th like the SA15's or is it the 30th or when they show up? Thanks!

[sundownz 197]

Per original post :

"ETA is roughly the end of November for these to arrive."

I typically end pre-orders shortly before they arrive.

Alright Thanks man. may pick up a few

Bumping this up for some views ! Great compact bass option here.

What is the recommended size for these things to go in a ported enclosure? Similar to the SA-8s? .6-1 cube? These look pretty sweet for the money.

mounting depth ?

Stay small... 0.5 to 0.6 vented.

Jacob, I'm thinking of running 2 of these off of a SAX-100.4 in my front doors for midbass. I'm just wondering what would be the best combination...

Amp running 4 channel mode:

Dual 4ohm version running on channels 3 and 4 with the coils wired in parallel for a 2ohm load

or

Amp running 2 channels (bridged)

Dual 2ohm version, amp bridged to 2 channels with the coils wired in series for a 4ohm load.

I'm thinking the first option may be better since I don't want to overpower them with option 2. Can I have your thoughts?

[sundownz 197]

I would run them in stereo on just two channels -- they wont need alot of power IB.

Ok, cool. On that note, would it be better to run 4ohm stereo or 2 ohm stereo. I'm just trying to figure out which coil configuration to order

[sundownz 197]

You shouldn't need more than the 4 ohm stereo power.
