I want to help out the Iowa boys in Newton and get an eD sub. $90 savings if you pick it up. little wait though as they are built to order.



Where did this info come from?

I have read a lot of good things about the AV123 MFW-15 which is on the Craigsub list reference above. I have come really close to ordering that one many times myself but something always seems to come up! When I upgrade in the hopefully near future I will be going with this sub.

MFW-15 does look good. Bad news is: Out Of Stock. ETA is July! Shocked Bummer.

I'm having anxiety attacks lately and can't wait...........

Looking like it's going to be SVS.

Wow, the last time I looked it was mid April! Looks like it's getting a good response from the Craigsub thread followers. If I was ready to buy today and did not want to wait for the MFW-15 then I would be looking at something from Epik. Of course SVS is well known and respected but I like to give these small start up companies a chance when it looks like they are making quality product.

Depending on what finish you are looking for, you might be able to get an MFW-15 sooner. I thought moho was available sooner. I know the palisander finish is a long way out.

If you want you could call elemental designs and ask them to ship you out a box raw and then finish it how you see fit if you dont' like their textured finish.

I am probably going to do this with an A7s-450 and paint all sides black with veneer on the front. At least a $90 savings for no shipping since I can pick it up and then another savings for no textured finish, hopefully can get me down to $700.

Either that or just get a textured a5-350. Should be better performance than an SVS.

Hi HypeBoy, just a suggestion, go into your profile at the top of the page and remove your street address. It's safer that way.

None of them. That's the 7900 block, and he says he's at 6308. Google maps, Yahoo maps, and Mapquest all say they can't find his address. I rather doubt it's real.

Why should we help those presenting themselves as something not genuine?

You shouldn't City, State and maybe Country should suffice...That was their point...With the rash of spammers in here I think folks thought you were just another spammer...Anyway back on topic...The thread was geared to Home Theater subs....Maybe someone here will chime in with a car sub recommendation.
