Morph the Cat is an outstanding CD; I wish they'd release it on SACD. Have you tried "Everything Must Go" from Steely Dan (2003 or 2005..?)

Sweet! It's a beast, isn't it?!?

It sounds like you got screwed. I'd go back to this guy; voice coils rubbing is usually caused by overexcursion or some type of physical damage to the cone itself, neither of which would happen if they were "in the original boxes never used"....

Another month gone by, no new products, website STILL has 2007 products ONLY....

Sorbethane Risers: http://avrisers.net/ They're closed down while the owner moves, but they'll be back up taking orders within the next 30 days.

SVS makes some very good budget subs; great value for $$$

Jazz. Yellowjackets, to be exact.

So did you get it??

Ditto.

My only success story with UPS was I let THEM do their lame-@$$ packing job on a Sunfire amp, which consisted of bubble wrapping the amp & putting it in a single box. WHEN it was damaged, it was due to a fork lift being run through the side of the amp (still worked!!). They paid to ship the amp to Sunfire, all the repairs, and return shipping to the buyer! They couldn't say it was insufficient packaging because THEY DID IT, even though it was OBVIOUSLY lame as hell....

And if you don't buy it, I know someone who wants it!

It can be removed, but you have to take out about a dozen screws.

That is an OUTSTANDING price for the 400~7 amp! The cheapest I've seen one go for is around double that or more. I've had mine bi-amping a pair of Carver Amazing III speakers for over a year now....I think it's the best amplifier value on the planet! Sounds as good as or better than amps 5 times it's price. I have a Sunfire Ultimate Receiver powering an RF-83 surround system and it's more than enough power to rock the house apart.

Check my sig; I've got all that. These are specifically for my 2-channel rig. I picked them up today; LORD they are heavy. I was able to get them both in my Ford Probe in 5 minutes with no issues! Wish I had a pic of THAT...[au]

Either would be fine for that size room. The 12 wouldn't have to work as hard, but the 10 would do. Is cost an issue? Many people are going to two smaller subs rather than one large sub.... my $.0.

Correct.

Wow; who p!$$ed in YOUR wheaties?!?

Great GoogaMooga!

Does your Onkyo have more than one sub output? I'd run two RCA cables to each sub. Never mind; I pulled up your manual from this page: http://www.us.onkyo.com/download/own_manuals.cfm?cat=Receiver and see you only have one sub input. Looks like you might have to go with a Y-splitter.

Please describe your current system/setup so we can help you.

Does running the tube through the center as in this diagram do something I'm not aware of? I mean, aren't you basically reducing the effective diameter of that huge port by doing so?? Please explain to a layman why this design is better than a smaller, open port?

I've noticed lately one of the horns on my RF-83s has become more "pronounced" (i.e., harsh)...could I have a crossover issue or is the horn going south? I've driven them with a Sunfire Ultimate Receiver (200 wpc) since day one, sometimes to "performance" levels, but I've been careful to never drive to clipping or past the comfort zone. I'd appreciate any helpful opinions from those in the know.

First, before you remove anything, check if both subs have the same resistance.
