I saw that this morning. Am I an idiot or does he not even power it up(short of the leds) to listen to it? How do you do a review with out listening too it?
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

Not much of a review. Pretty much just read the spec sheet. I watched the review on the dd3512's as well. Same thing.
I still can't decide if I should stick with my dd12's or go with the new elite12's.

THAT would pretty much sum up exactly why I didn't renew the subscription to that magazine after the free 3 month trial. Their articles seemed to be the same way. I can read the spec sheet online, as well as look at pics. Glad its heavy and looks perty but then again if he actually did a listening review of it I am not sure I would set any real expectations.

Hey morgan/pg send it to eric and let him "test" it.

you would need to look a little further to find out that eric is a little more then a pg fanboy. That would require you to stop looking down at the rest of us as if yer better though so that will never happen.

Why are ya still here?

I didn't want to point out the irony of the idea that in his 10 posts and two weeks here he has gone after 3 regular members and just talked smack in hopes that someone else would see it and comment. Dude has too much knowled to share and makes friend fast what can ya say?!

I was looking on the PG website and all it mentions is a dual 4 ohm Elite 12. Is there an Elite 12 in dual 2 ohm?

Tease 8) ...would love to have 2 of them running a 2ohm final load as 1 of those beasts on a single Elite.1 is overkill and not using the amp to its full potential and risk of damaging the sub if ur not careful. :doh:

Morgan said in the suggestion thread below at one point that a dual 2 ohm version will be coming some time around Q3 this year.
