I have been eyeing these subs from Elemental Designs
9kv2
The original k series were great and these (kv2's) are a significant improvement.
I have heard about plenty of satisfied ED customers and hardly ever anything negative. They are known to make great sounding good value subs. Even though they are intended for car audio, The Fs is quite low (especially for the 8"). At this price I'm considering getting 4 of them and using them in towers with MTM's if for no other reason than because it would look so cool IMO.
This deal equals diplacement/dollar of some of the best. (i know that's not all there is to it)
Basically 2 15's is too big (am certainly considering 1 15"), 2 12's doesnt give as good displacement /dollar than these 8's. (BTW my room is quite large (roughly 15x30x9)
Although My system is used more for HT, I don't care about HT performance I have been living without a sub for HT for years and I dont care that I lose the really low freq stuff. What I want is an improvement in SPL capability for music from 30 hz or so xo'd around 80-100 hz possibly only at 12 db/octave if I can get away with it. I want cleaner bass too.
I should probably keep 'em separate from the MTM's in case they integrate poorly with the room and I can place them better, I am guessing.
My current speakers are cheap technics towers, the MTM's I am referring to are still to be determined (and may only be TM's)
I've babbled on too much already... What do you guys think about these subs?

Do a search on any of the car audio forums and you'll find lots of negative especially concerning their preorders.
