OH MY G.D! IT IS A MONSTER!

I just unboxed this baby. It is HUGE! More later.
Back to the assembly.

What........your still not done yet!!!

What........your still not done yet!!!

Total time for assembly (including running to Lowes for spray adhesive) 70 minutes. If you know what you're doing, this could be put together in 10 minutes. I saw a lot of reviews where people had trouble with the internal nuts digging into the MDF during installation. I was worried about this until I saw that they now pre-install these nuts for you. The kit still comes with extras with the rest of the hardware. The instructions say to toss them out. This thing is built like a tank! Can you say big? No, bigger than that. Yeah, BIG!

So now it's together. Spikes in, and placed on top of the little nickel sized supports that are included. First thing in was Chicago's greatest hits. And hit it does. Had to turn it down. Played the first few songs and then threw in some Genesis. It sounds great! I missed last Friday's Battle Star so I figured that this would be a good time to let the DVR do it's job too. Oh my! My chest was shaking as a ship coasted by. (never mind that space is a vacuume. the sound was incredible) Only one problem. I hear dishes rattling in the kitchen. As luck would have it, it was just a couple in the sink. Put them in the washer and everything was good again.

This thing really rocks. It hits you like a ton of bricks. But it is under control with the parametric EQ. I haven't had a chance to calibrate it yet so I just dialed it to 18htz and turn it up 3db at a narrow band. It's not boomy at all and is tight as h.ll. I can't wait to get home tonight and put in Jurassic Park III and Polar Express.

The infinity PS-12 moved into the bedroom to replace the 6.5 inch semi-sub that was in there. This was another huge plus. Well worth the reduced price for the holidays. If it's been on your wish list, it's time to take a good hard look. And maybe even pull that trigger?

I called PE and the kits will be on sale until 1/04. That gives me a couple of months. The return policy is 45 days. They'll honor it even if the sub has been put together.

While supplies last.

Return? Not me. The only way this is leaving my house is if someone breaks in and steals it.

I want a sub that does that!

I want a sub that does that!

My kitchen, living and dining rooms are all one room. (about 700sqft) But, yeah, I like it!

LJ,

It would cost you as much to drive here, stay in hotels along the way, and drive back as it would to just buy one. How about you just fly out and we'll let you stay on the couch (same room as the sub) for a few days?

Darn you GM and your "while supplies last" comments. You pushed me over the edge. Mine will be here early next week.

BANG!

Was that the sound of someone pulling the trigger? Congrats. I know you'll be glad you did. And you could always return it. (or send it to me after you assemble it.

Still free freight? That's a biggie with something that's 100 pounds and takes up two boxes.

Yep, $578 total. I jump in a little early but couldn't pass the sale up. I'm gonna have some extra $$$ soon so no biggie.

I'm gonna be makin' some changes to my other system as well. I'm pulling the C-3's out of my bedroom and S12.3 sub (which is getting replaced by the titanic) and starting a 2.1 in a separate room. Probably be picking up an intergr. for that and pulling the Denon DCM 380 for that system as well.

My C-1's will go from surrounds to mains on my bedroom system and I already have Energy R1's to use as surrounds. My Vega's are gonna be moved into my garage.
