    I was also looking at an epik or av123 to purchase on the advice of ppl in these forums, however I am now leaning toward eD A5-350 for $650 and for an extra $65 you can opt for the LT/550 Amp, plus, they pay the shipping. I believe Epik charges about 100 bucks to ship. just a thought.

    yeah thats true but if you talk to chad (owner of epik) i think his subs might be the best deal, but i do not know. I like the elemental subs too. I am really leaning towards the Epik Caliber thats why i am hoping someone on this forum has one.

    that sounds like a great sub as well. This is hard for me because i am buying something blindly ( not hearing the sub first). This makes my choice alot harder.

    After months of research, I decided on an Epik Castle. The sub is a monster. It's got super tight response and goes really low and really loud. It goes so low that I can hear the glasses in my kitchen rattling 25ft away before I hear the bass. I've been testing it out now for about two weeks and still get a grin every time a watch a new movie with it.

    I believe the Caliber shares the same enclosure as the Castle but with a smaller amp and different driver. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another sub from Epik, their subs are top quality at a geat price.

    Actually, the Castle and the Knight share the same enclosure. The Caliber shares a similar enclosure to the Tower.
