Epique Subwoofer Release Date?

5 1/2 inch "sub" . Well, I guess P.T. Barnum was right.

If you can't say anything nice...

Your opinion has been documented and politely debunked, by one of our host engineers no less. There are certainly markets for small woofers that produce deep bass. Physics keeps them to low SPL of course, and they won't hit your distortion target. But there's no need to keep beating the dead horse.

Yup...

Come on TVR, give little subs a chance.

So... any more word on these 5.5" and 7" Epique subwoofer drivers?

Patience Tom... Lol

They should be getting shipped very soon... so, we will have then around the middle of February, maybe (hopefully) a little sooner.

I’m eagerly awaiting an announcement as well, Tom!

Any update on the launch of these?

Should be soon now...

This will be my first PE purchase for awhile; I've been trying to buy as I build... I'm anxious to see if the UPS man remembers where I live.

If the specs mirror what Chris said, I already have a use in in mind for two of these. Probably pick one up and experiment a bit, I know Chris mentioned that the price would be less that I suspected or feared, but they're still probably not going to be cheap.

I've been searching for Epique nearly daily to see if they got snuck in the website somewhere... new items are not always in the "New" section right away.

These look great. I want to replace the factory sub under the center console of my truck and one of these might be just the ticket instead if the small-box JL Audio that most guys use.

Hey Joe and Tom,

Unfortunately, there were delays.
Production is (finally) complete and we just received the final production versions. Just one of each, air shipped to us. The rest are on the water (slow boat).
These will finally be available in April.

A few more teaser photos...

Nice! Thanks for the update Chris.
Looks impressive.

The RSS210HO-4 might work well in the truck.

Good point. I'll have to see how it models compared to the JL and these once the specs are published.

I sure wish they would make a 4" or so Epique midrange.
