    Cool, but that means you have to buy more crap that will fail and be deemed as user error :rolleyes:

    I'll tell you what, I'll offer a discount to all those who contact me today, August 6th with a chosen order, no kidding... I'll give 15% off my list price... Act now, and you will recieve great customer service and reliable products!!! I promise not to degrade or insult you in a public forum. Who knows, maybe even a bit more of a discount if you ask nicely. I'll offer this on inquiries made today and give 7 days (August 13th) for placement of the order.

    Tell everyone, this offer is very real.

    Well man, i can't do much till i get my money back anyhow.
    plus, Adire has some Fine looking products, i am really torn on which direction to go.

    But i'll tell you what i will do...
    I'll post your offer for some pals and maybe they'll jump on it.

    I think it fits well into this thread. I would have started a new topic, but quite frankly, i don't want to piss off any of their "sponsors". I just don't know how that would go over, especially if one happens to be an Adire dealer too :p

    You know that was a very nice thing of Ben to do.

    Its nice to know that ED fans can be bought.

    In the end though spending 20% less on extra crap is still getting crap and yet another chance to get it up the ass by Ben.

    I just hope you get some bites. This isn't the most effective form of marketing :)

    Usually i would jump in wherever i saw someone mention "i need a *whatever* what to buy?" and i'd say "go here, get this, talk to this guy, he's good".

    I will be doing that for you regardless, as i have been for Geo, i know word of mouth is especially important out here. I do my best to help those who help me. IMO, it's a two-way street. :gunsmilie:

    pricing WOW! yea, sofar I've been personalyl informed of 10 cancelled pre-orders, As far as the link.. it's be nice if I were allowed to view the place *heh* doesn't concern me much anyway, I'm done wasting my time in the temple of ben. Let me guess, though they're all parading around thanking him for going out of his way for being so nice and doing somethign he REALLY didn't NEED to do, but instead he went out of his way to keep them happy....

    Very impressive manouver, however. THat makes ALOT of sense to do form his prespective... Atleast if he's not a good customer service guy, or tech or friend, or anything he IS a good salesman... *ducks* okay that was bad, but true. flame me if you wish...

    Asfor that 15% I would definately be VERYmuch interested if I had the money, but seeingas I've just "burnt" my cartoy money with eD (funny ain't I) I'll be awhile...

    When you are ready (no matter when), just drop me a PM. With what you have been through, I will not forget who you are. I'll be glad to offer you some deals and show you the light :p . Seriously too... I am not saying that just to say it either... I know what it is to really dig a certain companies components, and I want to share my favorites with others as well... Plus, I feel you will be treated better by Adire than you were by eD, And I know I will treat you better then you were treated there as well.

    Add me to that list too. B)

    I'm not sure how experienced you are in car audio (bear with me - you've only been around here anyway, a few days! :bag: ), but we may be seeking beta-testers for this and that...

    WOW, thanks guys, I really do appreciate it, I'll definately keep in touch. We'll just have to see where I'm at. In the meantime I'm between jobs and moving and about to startup school again after 5 years of being done, and thinking I'd actualy found a place in this world, so my world's quite hectic...

    geolemon> I do know a fair amount about 12v audio, and have been forced to learn even more lately, but I'd hardly consider myself an expert. (or maybe I've just read toomany icix posts and am starting to believe them) At anyrate, the oppertunity is appealing, yes. But agian, I'm unsure if I'm worthy.

    I HAVE managed to figure out fiberglassing and make my own box that's recessed into a little cavern in my hatch where it takes up very little useable space. (here'sa link to m y documented making of that if anyone's curious BTW http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread....8&page=2&pp=15) That's the forum I've generallyhaunted fo rthe past year or so now. it's a mazda site, but has a very stellar audio section crew... I've had every panel that's mildly close to removeable off in the constant rattle chase, and need to deaden everything. Installed countless stereos for friends over the years, and somehow my own car's constantly a work in progress, Heck I like audio so damn much that I'm pulling the full stainless steel catback exhaust and intake that I'd gotten sweet deals on because they simply add noise to a car that I've workes SOO hard to sounddeaden. SO I'd say I'm kindainto it and an enthusiast, but as evidenced by the eD guys, apparantly still a moron seeing as I don't use a simple oscilloscope to set gains, etc. I've been running a 1.6kw setup for over a year and have finally reached a point of output where I feel it's sufficient, jsut wish toshift that power around a bit, and clean it all up now. I've made my own groundwire kit (using guidelines and even some measurements off of another protege owner's kits mindyou so it's not THAT spectacular)

    Well, you contacted me on the right day, so maybe we can extent that a bit for you. B)

    Looks great Poseur. Maybe you should build a tutorial on doing that... it turned out sweet. B)

    Thanks man, actually It's sweet for function, but still un-finished seeing as for one I'm lazy and 2 I've all along been pondering making something different. And really IN that community I've got a line of ppl who'll buy it off of me all with different finishng requests. I think its not-bad for a first attempt but there's different things I'll be doing next time. Very satisfying learning experience, though. Fiberglass is cool, just kinda a pain... The tutorial's actually supposedly eventually on the way, but again, lazy*hah* Usually I'd rather pull panels and rattle-chase than do writeups.

    Hey guys, so I posted this up in another forum as well, but I'll be getting these back form eD as they ARE my property (if they are, indeed MY mids but that's a different story)

    At anyrate, I've got no used for speaker remnants, apart from keeping them around as an anti-shrine or something, but really I'd be very interested in seeing what someone else who does have knowledge of blown speakers, etc has to say about them. Apparantly there's some very knowledgeable sorts running around in here, and while I think that'd be a great resource, I'm also considering that an unbiased 3rd party might be preferrable as well. Obviously I'm not going to spend a ton of money to shim them off to a lab or anything, but I kinda figured that rather than seeing pictures and ed's story, someone else could look at the damn things and tell us their own side of it.

    oH! and I SERIOUSLY appreciate the offers sandt and geolemon Especially for a consumer such as myself. I mean, you know that I'm supposedly PROVEN to be immature and inexperienced, and that the first sign that something's wrong I'll just throw a fit and slander everything and everyone. right?
