I sat in the car last night for over a half hour just messing around with it. The XM is really easy to use because the head unit automatically breaks down each music category for easy searching. It sounds 1000% better than the blose stereo. I am very happy. I do need to get some kind of cover over the sub though so I don't puncture it with anything in the trunk.

great to hear rob. i couldnt be happier with eD subs. ive got a pair of 8's in my trunk and am lovin them. avg person wouldnt be able to tell that they are just 8's

it'll take a couple hrs for the speakers to finish breaking and i know that eD breaks em in before shipping the speakers, but they still sound better after about 10-20 hrs of play time.

I did notice a bit of a difference after using them for about a week or so, they do break in and sound even better.

yea, all the soft parts break in and start to sound smoother and the rubber surrounds loosin up a little.

you dont have to be timid with em, but just dont beat on em for a few hrs. they will thank you later.

Might want to clean out the airvents in the dash too.

I had an eD sub in my last car, and I LOVED it.
