Post by tbraver on 06/09/07 at 22:12:35

I have recentley helped a friend build a WO32 and don't believe I want to build one again for my home theater. I saw that ED has there budget 12" for $25 a peice and thought of the Home Wrecker. Do they look good for the HW?

I was thinking of building the 4 sub version. Thanks for any info.

they don't look good for anything, because they're eD.

Well, people either love them or hate them. Haven't had an ED problem yet but maybe I'm lucky. Not really interested in starting a ED bashing thread. Just for the price they looked interesting. On my military salary top dollar products don't come to me so often. You think the Mach5 12's would work good? Should I go with 4 or just 2? Would there be that great a differnce? The Mach 5's fit well into my price range.

my dissaproval of ed is because of the owner. not sure about their products... YET
[i have a NOS 12o just waiting to get installed in my car]
also, i haven't seen reviews of their new stuff on the places i visit.
mach5's have gotten good reviews, mark seems like a very nice guy to deal with and, according to most of the people that have held a maw in their hands, seems like they're built well.
if you're still not sure, get the 2 mach5 12's just to support a small company.

eD has really changed things around....they are a good company now. I have a couple EHQS 12's, a 19Ov.2, and a Nine.1 amp.

For 25 dollars those subs are well worth it...I had one in a 1.5 cu ft ported at 30Hz in my Explorer and it sounded damn good. Lacks a little bit in the low end but you can complain for a subwoofer costing 25 dollars can you?

eD is a lot better now...My amp came damaged...eD sent me a new amp before I even sent out the damaged one.

Plus they have 5 years of warranty...how many other companies have that??

still got the same owner and i will not support such people :)
and if you're wondering, i own an eDUH sub...a 12o.44 to be more precise, but it was built from NOS parts, by someone at TC...
