April 23, 200817 yr I've got the proto of these and I love it! I've got it in my room on 150W dayton plate amp and it gets pretty loud! Sounds really good though.
April 23, 200817 yr Author Those look nice when are they going to be available?Not sure yet - testing interest to see if I should move these up to a higher priority on production.
April 23, 200817 yr Author If Ricky and Jerry get back w/ me and really want to do some big builds with them I will push production to an earlier date.
April 23, 200817 yr Jacob, please don't count on me buying anything. I have so much going on and so many things spinning in my head.
April 23, 200817 yr Author Jacob, please don't count on me buying anything. I have so much going on and so many things spinning in my head.Alright, will keep that in mind.
April 23, 200817 yr If Ricky and Jerry get back w/ me and really want to do some big builds with them I will push production to an earlier date.I know for sure that I can take 8 of them off of you hands. The current enclosure is set up for 8 12's, thought about putting 8 Sd-1's but these subs look alot beefier. I'll have to wait till I get the truck home before I commit to anything else as I have to make sure that they will fit and decide how quickly I want to rebuild it. I more so want to demo this year than be loud on the mic.
April 24, 200817 yr Author Just like the E8 they will take ~3 months or so to come in after production starts. So if you will be in the market around 3 months from now let me know so I can really gauge interest!
April 24, 200817 yr Author if there was an E10 id be in for 8 of them in a few monthsThere will be later, but 12s will be first.
April 24, 200817 yr Author E8 won't be first??? Yes, the E8 is first Between 10s and 12s, the 12 is first.
