So, uh, save me if I'm about to make a mistake

I've very seriously considering purchasing this sub. (http://www.ascendantaudio.com/Atlas%2012.htm) Adire was supposed to release their Koda 12 LAST summer, and they still don't even have a release date! I'm tired of waiting.
The specs look very similar to the Koda 12. Same excursion, same size, XBL^2, 50 watts more power handling, awesome looks, ~$100 cheaper... I'm extremely tempted.
Has anyone heard anything bad about this company or sub?

there was someone here a bit ago that was touting that sub, seems good to me; i like the xbl bit. plus it looks like a brahma :).

Ive never heard of them and as you know, cheaper isnt always better.

Personally I would steer clear of them til I knew more about them.

welp, they're a brand new company - only been out like 3 months. They're getting very good reviews at soundillusions.net and caraudio.com. Plus, check this from their site: "We lowered the prices of the Atlas 12, Atlas 15, and the Avalanche 15, effective January 25, 2005. Refunds have been provided for purchases made prior to the increase." They actually lowered their prices for the same product and REFUNDED THE DIFFERENCE to all previous customers! That says something for their customer service. I'm just about sold on them.

oh, of course...I mean, I've only been waiting like 5 years to be able to get a sub. Naturally, I'm not going to like it. Might as well give me your address now... ;)

[AustinKP]

actually, maybe I should just have them send it directly to you so I don't have to pay for shipping twice...

[exalted512]

sounds like a deal to me:D
