Default Gahhhhh stereo sadness!

Hey everyone! Just kinda venting really... Ordered a Power Acoustik PW3-12H sub last week...and it came in today! Just in time for my birthday! but....apparently the FedEx guy dropped it...because the metal spider (that attaches to the surround) is bent... The surround is still attached, so i may try to bend it back and see what happens. Beyond that, the sub itself is a 2400 watt max 12"...only weighs about 15 pounds so I'm happy about that. Power Acoustik is kind of a cheap-o brand yeah...but I've never had a problem with any of their stuff delivering what it promises. I'd suggest giving them a shot to all you JL'ers out there... a 2400 Peak (800 RMS) dual 4 ohm 12 inch sub for 79 w/ free shipping off ebay, NEW....that'll get you....a JL vinyl for your back window.

working on a deal right now for brand new eclipse 10" subs for dirt cheap and some jl audio 12 w6 anniversary edition for under 100 bucks each. If you look hard deals are to be found this particular items are brand new but i just picked up a slightly used jl audio 1000/1 amp for under 300.

I would send that sub back!! They are designed a certain way for a reason, and if someone else messed it up why not. I'd rather wait for a replacement. I would say the accuracy of my JL 12w6, is very nice. But it was 4 times the price of yours. I always bought stuff off of my friends, and wasn't used to new prices, but wanted to get something I was pretty sure would make me smile. Definately not dissapointed. chris
