New e12a....got a lil' listen. :)

This sub has not yet been realeasd, but as Justin W. I had a chance to get some listening in on it. It was running with the following equipment, avionixx 1200.2, avionixx 400.2 and an alpine 7969, and last but not least CDT HD62dt components. I only had the chance to listen to it in a 1.1 cubic foot box before sub displacement. I honestly dont know If I have personally ever heard a sealed 12" dig as low as this thing did. I kept searching for a track that would "trip it up" and no matter what disk I put in, it played it as if it was some sort of joke. It never seemed to lose any composure even after over 2 hours of play time, to be honest I went in expecting to be impressed, but I walked away floored. Every low bass note just seemed to have a flow to it, very smooth. I would not describe it as an 'attacking' driver, but I didnt find ANYTHING it didnt keep up with. Im very much so looking forward to getting one for my self. I just thought maybe you guys would like to hear a little more on a driver that isnt out yet, but shall be soon.

How did it perform as far as SPL goes, considering enclosure size, power, etc. Any SQ/SPL sub you could compare it to would help.

It did just dandy spl wise, I never tried to bring it up as loud as it could go by any means. I dont see it having any trouble bringing itself into the 140 range in the setup mentioned (1200w/1.1 cube sealed). Id imagine ported with a pair of them you would have something very interesting. I personally have only heard one driver that it would compare to, and that is the brahma, but the enviroments were much different. I see this driver competing with the best of them SQ wise, and it is certainly no spl slouch in my book. Time will tell what kind of numbers they are capable of.
