$25 ED sub for HT

I just ordered one. It's gonna work with my $300 HT system I am building using cheap stuff from Parts Express.

It won't sound as great as others, but it will work for me for the rare movie I watch.

Lol...first clue that it is for HT use:
Vas: 157L

That's pretty big for a 12" driver.

seriously, is that good??

FYI: Not everybody hates ED. I have never used any of their products, but I know a lot of people on here like their products.
The sub looks pretty decent. What do you excpect for 25 bucks? Get it and find out. If you don't like it, you're not out that much.

lol...The item is in perfect condition...but only the left terminals work. I guess its ok to sell a subwoofer and call it "good" condition, even if one VC is blown.

well even if they are crap I can always use one for testing resonant frequencies in cars. if they are goos I can use them for making some speakers for parties in my back yeard and stuff get some dayton mids and highs and go to town LOL.

i got a 12" cvr from them for $12 shipped. it was "blown", but i got it and hooked it up, and it worked fine. i guess some dumbass brought it in and said it was blown.

but if it was blown what would you have done with it? can you even get a recone from kicker?

so here's what i was thinkin.............. i have box plans for a mach 5 12" sub. it's like 5 cu ft with a dual tuning of 19 and 25Hz with 2 ports. lookin at the specs side by side, do u think the CHEAP ED sub will do well in the box made for the mach 5?

I got an idea, get box plans from Moe Lester's "Box Designs" thread that are the closest to the recommended enclosure size for that woofer from eD. A "dual tuned" enclosure can only mean an ABC type, which doesn't offer a lot more than a simple ported enclosure does IME.
