I'm a hypocrite; my ED 8" testing thread with pics

[savagebee 10+ year member]

theyve slacked off a bit it seems on the naziish over there

I agree, its ******** it was damaged

probably got sloppy with the massive shipments, but it doesnt matter.. you paid for a driver(who cares how cheap it was) and got a damaged one

oh well, Im sure itll straighten out when mounted though..

I had some of the 12"s and the basket was pliable as hell

Im sure they make the baskets thin and pliable for this very circumstance. Rather smart of them.

I thought eD made everything in-house now...no more Chinese parts...so this is the vaunted Iowa quality I've been hearing about, with that new warehouse and all?

im wondering why no one tried a wall of em 20-8's for 100 bucks? you could prolly run em all off about 200 watts.

I really wanted to lol,but Im still not finished with my wall now, so I didnt want to start over.

If I bought em and didnt get started on a project I woulda just ended up selling em, like always

Mind if I post the picture over there?
I think I found the perfect thread to use //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Hell yea you can.

More uninteresting graphs:

This is a comparison between the two subs playing isobaric and then with just the single 8 in 3 cubes. I moved the mic position for the "bed set" graph over into the corner of my bed. I have some dead spots at my current listening position around 30hz and 70hz. Taking the measurements from that location really helped smooth out things; now I just need to figure out how to get the listening position to sound like it does on my bed!

For it to atleast not be bent or messed up before its shipped out. If it would of blown right away thats different, but they had to have seen it go out like that from the factory so thats not good.

That damage is not that bad. **** for $5 there could be rat **** in the box and I'd be like "hey speaker! Woo!"

That's the shipping company's fault.. not the fact that sub is only $5's fault..
