i stand corrected. the prototypes were the av2 that were advertised in CS&P last year. i guess the e12A's SHOULD have been prototypes for a bit longer. and to think i went through so much attempting to find some.

they were originally when they were reviewed by M.E. Mag. and at that time you could still purchase them-as prototypes.

The flat cones were not prototypes.

I have a product review in the product review section.

I think the main problem with them is the coil being too close to the magnet. While that does increase efficiency, it makes it too fragile.

oooh. that'll do it. :surprised
yeah, i wonder why they didn't run with that prototype. was the flat piston and the nomex that impractical? i was looking for them for quite a while before i gave up.

curious. what is your personal ill experience w/ED?
He had aweful customer service and a poorly designed sub which also caused his amp to fail... in a nutshell.

Those flat-coned ones sure did sound really good (A-series at least).

eD's are now built by Image Dynamics
eD's were built before by TC Sounds (Flatcones)
TC Sounds builds the Sound Splinters

the rlp's are just 10" and 12"
the rli's (8", 10") are not spl subs per se. nor are they meant for ported applications. very smooth and clear lows though. nice subs.
RE's are obviously great, but i don't know where you can cop 12"s for 200 bones.
ED's i believe share the same build house as Image Dynamics. good subs as well, IMO.
all have good, clear lows. they differ mostly in power requirements.

i havent delt with ed yet and i dont really want too but the soundsplinters are awsome for the money. you really need a differnt amp than the boss. for 300 you could go with 2 rlp 8"s or get a couple RE re12"s and an amp to power them for 300.
