i have heard good things about Image Dynamics and Diamond Audio. My budget for a sub is <400 . Would a 10 incher be a good application for rock/metal or should I go for a 12 and what model is best for SQ and speed? Thanks.
If you decide on the Elemental you better hurry up and order one! They're changing their cone design and coming out with a whole new line of subs. B1, B2, and B3. No more K, A, or O series. And these are a temporary line until the go through the rest of their parts. Then who knows..... Maybe good, maybe bad.

its too late, they arent selling any more A series subs, and they are not making any more flat coned subs either for their next generation. i dont understand that. i wanted to get one, loved the design, why are they doing that???
anyway, i was bumping around resonant engineerings website, and they say they built the XX X sub for "ultimate sound quality". Is this true? I always thought the XX X was for spl.
I actually exchanged some words with Ben at ED. Things might actually be looking pretty good in a couple months. They have their "B" series line that are just some budget subs to have fun with till they release their new line. A.V2 and such is in the works. They plan on keeping the mesh cone design on the A series, the reason they are changing is because of vendor issues. Also heard they may have some monster sub in the works too. I would keep my eyes peeled, don't count them out just yet! Also the B series subs are dirt A$$ cheap and have decent parameters.

Well I still dont understand what kind of vendor issue it is that would make you change your design? I mean, raise the price or lower the price. Do what you need to do to make your vendor happy and obviously pass the cost on to the consumer just like every company does. But to change the design that your company is pretty much known for and built around only contradicts and undermines your original design. It obviously is not worth it to them to keep the original design, so that says to me it must not have been all that to begin with.
That said, i believe they are doing what they feel is best and I respect that. I just dont agree with it.
Also, i thought I'd let you know that after some research i have just ordered an ADIRE AUDIO BRAHMA 12. The XBL2 motor and flat BL and CMS curves sold me on it. That is exactly what i am looking for: killer SQ. It just so happens this thing can also pound, which i dont mind either
I'm not loyal or anything but just to get the story straight, eD's vendor change is due to supply and demand. They are selling more subs than they can produce. The vendor is taking way too long to supply them with parts, so I guess they're switching to a different vendor. That's what they said anyways....
Can't go wrong with that Brahma, my buddy has one ported with around 1100wrms running through it. Dayam it sounds good. And it's only in 1.7 cu ft, if it were in like 2.2 cu ft ported, whoa, insane.
