Wow that is great price!

Very sexy driver!

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.

do these perform well in sealed enclosures?

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

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.

If i may ask when does the pre sale end. I read the post but couldn't find it. Sorry if i missed it

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

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 ?

There it is!

Stay small... 0.5 to 0.6 vented.

Pre sale still open?

Yes.

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?

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

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