If anyone is on the fence about getting some ED gear, now is the time to do it. They have been giving amazing discounts for a while now (to icixsound.com and other forum members) but that is going to end on Feb 1st.

just a heads up if anyone wants some great gear at great prices before it's over with.

Maybe I'll pick up one of their subs.. still looking around though!

I was wondering when that would happen. Makes any price other than what they were offering online not valid....can't imagine what it would have been like to try and be a dealer for them...constantly being undersold by the manufacturer you're trying to support....

they didn't have any dealers. they were stirctly online (i think there was one exception)

**RedGTiVR6** · 01-14-2007, 03:32 PM

ahhh - looks like they are looking to start going to dealers then!

This is a little of a thread jack.

@ scott fx and Red,

First a bit of background info. I haven't followed the car audio scene for a while and I was looking for amplifier advice. I am looking to do a full active setup. 1 4 channel amp for highs, 1 4 channel amp for mids and a sub amp (1 or 2 channel. I haven't decided if I am going to run 1 sub or 2). I am also following your thread about the advances in the sound car department and plan to update my soundcard when I finally get my install to a point where I am happy and it is reliable.

My question is, How good are ED amps as far as SQ goes? At the moment I am on a bit of a budget but I want a decent SQ setup. How do these amps compare to Soundstream,JL, Blaupunkt and othere well known SQ brands. Would I be better off with something else for around the same price. I am looking to spend about US $300 on each amp.

@Red if this is too much of a thread jack, let me know and I will start a new thread.

eh - the thread jack thing is up to Scott...if he wants it seperated that's up to him.

from what I've seen on the boards, ED is good stuff...

however, I haven't seen much of it in the higher levels of competition...not much at all. All depends on what you're going for. Good personal SQ? Go for it!

no problem, i thread jack enough. i've personally listened to a nine.1 running two idmax 12" subs and it hit hard. i haven't heard them in the frequencies that really matter but from what i read they are a great amp for the price. There is a guy over at the corvette forums that has installed a bunch of their components and swears by them (for the price). it'll probably be best to start a new thread though, if you want to discuss active components and all that fun stuff. i think red put it best... for good personal sq, i dont think you can go wrong...plus they are great looking amps to boot.
