well. i've owned...when my last one gets here will be my eighth ed sub.
all have been 9kv.2s, or their 8" sub.
the first time i powered up my first set, they rattled like a mofo. when i took them back out of the box to ship them to ed for inspection, the dustcap popped off of one. it was repaired and i was told they couldn't get the other to rattle.
got them back and they were still rattling. sent back again. the one with the bad dust cap was replaced, the other sent back, again, without them finding a rattle. they told me it had to be the box i built. an air leak or something
hmm... got tired of the shitty rattle, went to buy two kicker cvr 8" subs. they still sound fine in the same box.
i tried to sell the 9kv.2s on icixsound. no bites for a long time. so whatever, someone wanted to trade me two more 9ks for a little amp i had in the basement. fine. great. they also sound fine in the same box. odd.
well, i decide since i have four of these things, i'll build a box for four. i do, to their specs. same rattle. i've pinpointed the one. same one that has had a rattle since i got it. also, found the other sub i've had for a while had two spots on the surround coming unglued. also, one of the two subs i got in trade had one spot on the surround coming unglued.
so, i send all 4 back. they are all still under warranty. figured i'd get black dustcaps on them. for 10 bucks a piece, why not?
the two new got black dust caps and were reglued around the surround. one of the older two was replaced with new 9kv.3.
now, the last one, the one that has rattled from the beginning, cannot be replaced under warranty. i have to pay for a replacement. suddenly, the adhesive that holds the voice coil to the former melted. that's the rattle. apparently i pushed them too hard. after all this time, they find the problem, and it's my fault.
so now i'm getting my fourth one back tomorrow. i got a replacement at a discount, but i'm still severely pissed.
i guess i don't need to post my opinion. you probably get it
