You try VPOST and see how much they charge you. Now got 20% discount on shipping fee.

I'm considering the eD Dual 13Av.2 Sealed DIY Kit. Ship with all the parts that is similar to A7s-650. I check the shipping is around USD 500!!!. Check the forum that this sub is comparable to Submersive.

I got the total weight for shipping break into 4 package. The shipping charges is actually USD 560.


The kit ships as 4 packages.

2 QTY: 18.25" x 18.25" x 16.5" Each Weighing 60 lbs (the woofer)
1 QTY: 17" x 17" x 9.5" Weighing 42 Lbs (amplifier)
1 QTY: 11" x 40" x 17" Weighing 60 Lbs. (DIY pre cut panel)

Total is 220lbs. Calculate the kit is around USD 1125 + 560 = USD 1685 x 3.5 = MYR 5897.50 + 25% tax = MYR 7371.80 + MYR 500 (for labor and veneer by carpenter) = MYR 7871.80.

Now the final question... to buy or not to buy

I almost pull the trigger on PB13-Ultra but I still think a sealed sub is better for it's musical characteristic. If you want an all out LFE, PC13 or PB13 Ultra would be a good buy. Submersive sub seems like a final sub for most people. Seldom I heard from the forum they want to upgrade to another sub, only add on more submersive. I too do consider submersive but Mark never reply my email so I give up on Submersive. eD seems like a good alternative with cheaper price. There is a guy who bought both submersive and eD sub for comparison in avsforum.

I send him 3 emails in 2 months without any reply. eD reply me in a day. So this is part of the consideration just in case if I need replacement parts.

If you really interested in DD series, I might want to sell my DD-12 if I get eD sub. Can pm me, we talk offline.

All this sub research is going to make me sick. I'm currently looking into another option, dual Epik Empire sub. But the investment would be expensive as I need to get SVS EQ1 due to the dual sub tuning.

eD currently is out of the question as there are some reported problem with LT1300 amp plus long waiting (some wait for 3-6 months to get the sub). Currently a single Empire is at USD 799.

You guys still entertain him?

If Ronnt88 want the shootout, I don't mind hosting the event again. We can watch avatar again. Is it 200lbs in total for submersive? I'll get Anfieldude to bring the SVS AS-EQ1 to try out.

OK. I admit it's me. Anyway, I just got news from eD that they can ship out the kits in 1.5 weeks with the new LT1300 amp which had solved the circuit breaker trip issue. So, maybe instead of DD-12, might be eD-A7s650. Need to talk to my carpenter how much total for assembly and veneer.

Not the best. Everyone still take Submersive as the sub to beat. There is another monster DIY sub, Danley DTS-10 which is a horn design. This sub is huge and I dont' have the space for that sub.

Maybe end of this week. Total quoted damage is USD 1725 x 3.25 = RM 5600. Not including Ketam damage yet and carpenter workmanship.

I don't think can make it before May 13. Anyway this is Danley DTS-10, look at the size.

Haha... this forum is to goreng people to spend money. As long as anyone is buying, we tumpang happy.

Anyway, part of the reason I go for eD A7s650 is I want a sealed sub with ability to play loud and clean with gradual slope at lower end freq. (min +-3db from 20hz to 100hz and able to hit 115db). Also foot print must not be huge due to space constraint. This sub is tall but only 16" W x 16" D. If compare to local purchase sub, with the tax built-in still a good buy. Only disadvantage is no built in EQ.

Then need to spend more money loh. Budget dry up for this year.

Might go for dual sub. As I look for dual sub options, after searching locally I found those that can complement DD-12 cost me at least RM 4k and above. I'll try out one eD sub first, then add in DD-12 to see if there is any benefit. If not, then I will move DD-12 to my living hall as I'm changing my YSP-4000 to Axiom In wall/On wall speakers.

Interested in my DD-12?

Sure. Any equipment you want to sponsored to poison Penang kia?

Should be the one. Waiting for their banking info. Shootout is just for comparison between different tech and pros or cons of each design. Once we know our preferences, then it's easier to make the right purchase in the future.

The best part is when the titan speak, you can feel the low bass shaking. The sound reinforce that titan is huge and had high volume of air.

If you seriously considered the subM, you should try to wake up at 5am and give Mark a call. Small ID company communication is kind of slow and you need to followup with them. I too need to call eD to get a confirmation on shipment and finally they are going to ship the item tomorrow.
