Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

Hey fellas, new to the forum so i thought id say hey first off...not so new to car audio though.

But i am new to Elevation Audio, and when someone brought the name over to my home forum, SiN, i thought id come over here to get some answers. I havent heard anything of theirs yet, but i might be in the market for a new setup. I currently have an orion hcca 250r powering an eD 15A ported. Im keeping the amp, no question...

i was wondering though, how the newer Elevation Pro 12's (due in march i hear?) would stack up against the 15A. The 15A doesnt lack sound quality or pressure levels, i just think going to a dual setup would look nicer, less out of place, and im always wanting to try something new.

I have 800-1000w at 1 ohm so im sure i could power them fine, im just concerned the SQ may not live up to the standard the 15A has set for me. Id also like it to be a little louder too, but if nothing else at least the same.

Who has any idea? Obviously the newer model isnt out yet, but can anyone tell me about the current Pro's?

i like the older pros but i dont know how the new ones will do. id wait a while to see if they have any problems with them before you buy because they have had some troubles before. have you thought about something from bravox or arc or RE?

here we go again............i havent had any problems with the pros and think they sound fantastic....that being said i have no experience with elemental design at all.......

Isn't the EDa thier flagship right? The flat cone style? I know Ryan from Ohio, call him Ryan for short :) had huge problems with his Ed sub, can't remember the model number eDK? Anyway, I'm sure since you've been over at SIN, you know all about RE, Adire. Right now I have an Elevation audio Execution, don't have everything installed, but it's a beefy sub I'll tell you that.

is your ed in a ported box? Cuz I think the Pro's were more designed for sealed boxes? Unless thats only the comps not sure. Justin from Det. could tell you about the pros, he had them compared to his old XXX's

this is my thread with pics of the X

Yup, here we go again is right, Terry. Sinister is the only person to ever have a problem with the Pro subwoofer. I don't know how he had a problem with them, but somehow he did. The Pro's are excellent subwoofers. They do get quite loud, and actually sound very nice in doing so. The pair I have were receiving around 400w RMS, and in a small sealed enclosure I managed to hit a 142.3.

Do you remember off hand how many cubic feet each side of the enclosure was? I think Elevation recommends .8. Just curious because I'm building a box for one.

The pro is pretty beastly as well, not as big as the Excursion, but very large. I can't wait to hear how mine sounds with 800 watts...

the new pros are just as good as the old ones i dont see much diffrence...

Excursion,

Kevin

It's called an Execution

After displacement, it was almost exactly .8^ft, the enclosure was built for the Pro's. One with 800w should sound excellent.
