Silver Member Username: NorthomahaPost Number: 325 Registered: Mar-06 | yea theres bandwagons/trends. first it was RE then Treo then DD then Fi now it seems like its going to RD maybe. but i think its all about personal taste and prices. im buying Fi's becuase they are a great value from what ive heard and read. Treo makes great subs but i dont have 1000 to blow on an SSX. so im goin for a BTL. there all good subs tho |

Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 428 Registered: Jan-06 | Wasn't there a group buy for the DD's a while back? |

Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 236 Registered: Mar-07 | Fi is not a bandwagon. They are popular for a reason. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 4886 Registered: Mar-04 | The reason RE faded out is the buy-out. Scott left the company and started Fi and that will be the new RE.(and even better hopfully) DD is great. Always will be, but the price is alil high for some people. (especially since Scott's subs are availible for great prices) Treo...well they seem like they have faded away everywhere. The make good stuff, but you never hear about them and seldom see them at comps. Fi and Atomic are gaining ground in Louisiana. DD is holding their own, but their ability to supply their dealers is hurting them. I would like to see my boss pick up RD, since they have amps and mids too. But, I'm gonna have to look into AA when they finally come alive again |

Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 485 Registered: Nov-05 | C. Reming, when i got here it was treo then re then aa then dd then re again now its fi. rd should take off too. they r all great brands but some r more pricey than others thats y they fell off. cheaper things of equal or lesser value came out and bumped them off. when ascendant came along in early '06 it was the bomb because an arsenal was selling for $160 pre-order. dd seems to be the only company that can keep up the "bandwagon" even w/ high prices. but they don't run the lanes for nothing ;) |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 486 Registered: Nov-05 | yes, i forgot to mention the big buy-out w/ RE and US amps. that really hurt RE's rep. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 4887 Registered: Mar-04 | You guys know what the BIGGEST bandwagon drop-off i have seen here on ecoustics was???? . . . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . ADIRE.... great company (for awhile) but they dropped off the map! i even owned a brahma mkII 10"...prolly the best sounding sub i have ever heard. (IMO) |
|
Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 489 Registered: Nov-05 | o yea. brahma mkII was a great sub. that and image dynamics really fell off hard. problem i saw was both companies had a great flagship sub with the brahma and the id-max but didnt have anything higher or of great quality that was lower. i never liked the idq but adire did have the tempest. not enough options with the companies is what i'm trying to say lol. |

Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16PLANET EARTH, FLA Post Number: 925 Registered: Mar-07 | b4 FI and all my fav sub the one i wanted to get had to be the RE MT's SHO FO but then i found a 13 w7 for half off and i bought it then sold it to get some a Mem 4kw still waiting for the money stupid pay pal always being G@Y |

Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 429 Registered: Jan-06 | Hah, Scott Knows too much...i think that is what this thread has established, and if anyone can put stock in him than do it! haha...RE was all about him...Fi is him...and then AA has now become partners with him. |
|
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16PLANET EARTH, FLA Post Number: 929 Registered: Mar-07 | he is like a virus and he is spreading who now who is next But not a bad virus a good virs like umm sht dunno of a good virus but he is one keep spreading man u make great sub that are InFInitely Amazing and cheap |

Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 514 Registered: Jan-07 | cant beat Fi, really good subs, cheap, and the best customer service ever, i mean i bought 1 12" sub from there, and i still contact with scott and he replays fast, any question i have about the sound system he gives his opinion even if Fi isnt the answer. |
|
Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodian Post Number: 2561 Registered: Sep-04 | Yes Adire was really really big in 04. You thought you saw a lot of Fi threads. go back in time and see how many brahma threads you can find. Plenty indeed ;). |
|
Silver Member Username: SplmonsterC-Town, OH USA Post Number: 872 Registered: May-06 | i have to say adire was before my time here lol, i came in right around the AA hype, thats why i have an arsenal lol yea cuz it was like 150-160 preo-order lol, but yea treo fell off big time, re is still around kinda but they are soooo f'n expensive why buy an mt for a million follars when a btl is only like 350-400 bucks |

Silver Member Username: OneracistguyTWO EGG, FL USA Post Number: 593 Registered: Sep-06 | got an re mt here waitin on a recone there prices just are way too high now for anyone to mess with them for me its atomic |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 12017 Registered: Dec-03 | Simply put, RE was a great product at a fair price. Then they were bought up by a parent company, and their prices went through the roof. I can't justify spending $800+ for a single 12" sub. Scott Atwell, the designer of the RE subs left and formed Fi Audio, and offers equally good subs, at a fraction of the price. It's simple marketing, or game theory here. |

Platinum Member Username: RovinMy 1 12 Atom... Post Number: 11373 Registered: Jul-05 | yep RE comited suicide with its prices when us amps bought them over - i soooooooooo regret not buying a bunch of them when they had the big sale on dec 2005 - missed opportunity ... another great sub which seriously lost ALL steam over night was the 12" IDmax since u cant get them to buy as much since ppl say its not in production anymore & the company says a version 4 is coming out ...been hearing that almost a yr now ...... |
|
Silver Member Username: NorthomahaPost Number: 326 Registered: Mar-06 | yea by bandwagon i didnt mean that the subs werent worthy of the hype. But here on ecoustics it seems like we move from company to company. you could call them trends instead haha. Fi has won me over tho. the prices are to good to stay with Treo. |

Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 2291 Registered: May-05 | RE is on ebay for almost their original prices. Not all their subs though... |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2300 Registered: Jul-06 | Back in the day MMATS Juggernauts were the sh1t!There wasn't nearly as much competition back then though.MMATS is a far better amplifier company than a sub company in my opinion. |

Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 29 Registered: Aug-06 | Cant forget ppi. i never owned their subs, but their processors were a hype back then. They offered top quality crossovers and eq/s ( the noise gate, frx crossover(very flexible), and deq 230's that drastically improved any system. i think they've been bought by orion or is it directed ?... They had the cleanest and most flexibly amps; the power art series and the earlier pc power class amps ; the best i've ever used... Rockford made some top quality subs too. i owned a pair of the punch power dvc's... i ran them seal hooked up to the 1000a1.. those subs hit really hard.. the new power T1 - T3 series subwoofer have deviated far from rockford's reputation of producing quality subs... |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 12471 Registered: Oct-05 | how do you pronounce "mmats"? is it just pronounced matts or em matts? |

Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 30 Registered: Aug-06 | em-matts |
|
Platinum Member Username: RovinMy 1 12 Atom... Post Number: 11376 Registered: Jul-05 | well every1 i know just call it MATS ... |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 2323 Registered: Jul-06 | When I've called MMATS they always say Mats as if the first M does not exist. |
