Elemental Designs: Yay or Nay

Anyone who's heard of these guys and/or dealt with them--yay or nay on the 13OV.2 subs & the NINE.1 or whatever amp (the 1200x1 @ 1ohm mono).

ED seems to have a big fan base...it just isnt here on this forum. I know Ryan has had really bad experience with them. The older stuff was decent, but the newer stuff i would stay away from.

o_O hmm. I only asked because I read an awesome review from one of the rags I read (Performance Auto & Sound--actually a Canadian rag, but it's delivered ot the local book store).

I was thinking of buying either the OV.2's or the KV.2's, but if y'all are that weary of them...

My impression of their new stuff is that it is a watered down version of the last models and "fixed". Their last models had some really fantastic SQ but were very flawed as Ryan has shown us.

A lot of people got screwed on their recones too. Something like that. They would send the sub in and never get it back. I was wanting to go with eD, but ended up low on cash, and didn't buy their product, then this happen when the flaws popped up everywhere. I was glad I didn't go that route.

Their Business Practices suck rear...

If you want to spend your money with a company that cant grasp simple customer relations go ahead.

There is a lot of praise for eD out there. Thats because its cheap and it sounds pretty good. In this cheapness remember, you get what you pay for!

There products now days may be actually good, I dont know. There business practices have not changed. If they have a problem and it causes you a problem oh well. You can deal with it also. Afterall they are not responsible for any of the problems...

At least thats the mentality displayed...
