I was thinking Velodyne from the getgo - clicked on your link, and saw this for that one sub:

Product Details
Product Dimensions: 20 x 19.5 x 16.2 inches

Maybe I should use the chloroform trick on her until his setup is complete! I might have to settle for the Polk PSW110 or 111 unless there is an online brand with an excellent small offering...but I'm still looking. That's why they came to me, after all.

Could always try and upsell them to an Ultracube 10.
HxWxD - 12-15/16 in x 11-7/16 in x 11-7/16 in
1500W peak, 650W RMS.

Unfortunately it has a $799 price tag, which means you'd get it for around $639 at the cheapest.

I think chloroform may work best, you don't want to sacrifice too much performance just for the WAF. Perhaps she should see how the eD looks with a cactus on top of it?

What are the size limits

what does she consider large? The only "small" subs that I know of that are decent come at a premium price. Driver King is also right the eD subs come in different finishes now.

dobyblue · 11-10-2008, 05:18 PM

Yeah and those matte finishes are usually only an extra $35 which is peanuts.

I don't know. It's not like she's set him strict limitations. But they saw my Dynamo and she was like "Maybe that"

So even then. This is why I came to you guys. And I think she's actually allergic to peanuts. Go figure. This thread is getting funny to me, I'm definitely using the chloroform method and sticking the a2-300 in there. Besides, with the time it takes to get to their house, she might forget...

It is harder than I thought it would be.

Size matters........ you can't really deny physics..... even the sunfires, which "Try" can't touch a larger driver (of a decent sub at least.... there are plenty of 15+ inch subs out there that are garbage)

Right now the eD can't be beat for its size vs value. If they are willing to put out a little extra for a Dynamo that will work as well, and Beta is right - size does matter - don't give me a teaspoon to fill a tub with

dobyblue · 11-10-2008, 05:36 PM

So it's settled then, they're getting a Epik Conquest.

Glad we got that one sorted out.

JJ · 11-10-2008, 05:40 PM

I think I'll just stick an A7-900 and pass it off as a new dinette table.

You could make an ottoman.

Tell her it's the one that massages.

Now you're on the right track!

If you want a sub with fantastic bass response, great musicality, and a small footprint, see if you can locate a M&K MX-70B. I use one in my 2.1-channel setup, and it is fantastic. It uses two 8" drivers in a push/pull configuration. Mine is black, but it's also available in white. It has very tight, deep bass, with excellent dynamic range and no perceivable distortion.

Unfortunately, they don't make it anymore, but they are still available online.

Here's a link to a description and specs.
