Sound Splinter Audio

I've never hear of Splinters.  Now what is it you've "had to take" Tony?

i think you need to relax about hating on adire, they are a small company in the process of releasing a new line,it is understandable to be frustrated, but it doesn't sound like you've paid yet, so what wrong has been done to you. If you had paid and were getting run around, then that is a whole different issue.

but if you are set against them I've always liked the IDMAX as an SQL sub, and from what I've heard, the RE XXX is about the same driver as the brahma, but a little more SPL minded where as the Brahma goes for SQ. the eclipse titanium subs also sound very good. bear in mind the comparison between subs is really only as good as the install

The beef i have with adire is i already put 1/2 down at my local adire dealers. Notice, that i said dealers (plural). So when you put so much money down on October 13, 04... and you are still Brahma-less on March 22, 05,you get annoyed. I have waited for my Brahmas long enough. If Adire wants to keep a loyal customer, they sure have a funky way of doing it. I'm not hating on them, i still love their products, but there is only so much one person can take like i said before. 6 months is enough. Over half a year people. Not one Brahma.

Still looking for Sound Splinter opinions...

Sounds like it's a problem between you and your dealer, not Adire.  They have no control over whether your local dealer takes your money early or not.  Brahma's have not been widely availabkle since at least November while Adire creates a whole new product line and new manufacturing line.  The only ones that have been available were from existing dealer stock.  That fact was announced here and also on the Adire forum.

Sorry if you're annoyed, dude, but it was your decision and no one else's to put out cash without walking away with a product.  Did you get your deposit back?
