9kv.2. There is a guy on here selling four used ones. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those three. However, there are many people on this board who absolutely hate Elemental designs, so be ready to hear about it.

I use one for my HT........with only 150 watts it shakes the livingroom,too small for a car IMO

dont get the 9kv.2 or any K-Series sub, there weakass subs that will break very easily and will not be covered by ed, i had a 13kv.2 on 300 watt rms and it stopped one day, sent it in and they said i burnned the voice coil witch is BS. There warranty is a peice of S H I T. Get the SS or TC, and BTW TC makes the SS subs

if for $60 or less shipped like that one guy in teh classified section, its somewhat worth it, but definitely not worth its price of $95...i think my 9kv3's are ok but definitely not as good as my old assassin's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i got a few 8's in the mail tho:up2somet:

i'd def look into a tc1k 8"...

is TC a direct only company?

turns out the DD's and SS's will be too deep of a sub for where im putting it. (s10 reg cab) and i need all the leg room i can get.

so what about Diamond? how many watts can their D308 handle comfortably?

I second that, I had that happen with 6!!! of ED's woofers over the past 3 years, and had the same situation, and my 16kv.2 blew on 330watts rms

well i think im pretty much settled on Diamond D308's. theyre nice and shallow so they'll fit behind my seat nicely!

well i have owned several ed subs and have only had a problem with 2 of them

one was my fault for sending it 6-700 watts free air, i bet you can guess the outcome of that one...

and the other was a 19ov.2 which got messed up in shipping.

for the price there subs are pretty nice.

if you are on a budget that is the way i would go.

but if you have the money to spend i would definitely look into a rl-i 8 or tc-1000 8

i was going to one one of those, but they both have a ~6" mounting depth, which is too deep.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif
