visitor Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 The chip will not affect anything. i would go for it.. although with ups packaging it, you may have a chance at a refund... Quote im banned because im a jackass....WOOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forevrbumpn Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 that magnet scratches are no worries, only worries are if the fragments of magnet got sucked up in to the voice coil gap, then your fuked, gotta get it reconed, gap cleaned out, ect ect BTW, RE have had dull finishes on thier magnet assemblies. My buddy has 2- XXX18s, one almost shiny one dull, and Ive seen shiny back plates as well- and my eyes are not playing tricks on me, we went thru 4 boxes already on these bad boys Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

protegeboom Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 i got the package this morning...doesn't look all that bad "subwoofer itself" but the box is torn the fuck up ! the magnet is chipped pretty good... i was wondering if i should open a claim ? i really wanna open a claim.. since it was pretty much new in the box... even though its just a chip in the magnet... he insured it for $400.. BTW its a 18" FULLY LOADED BL ... I have been working for UPS for 9 years as a driver, I never ship with them. They toss and break shit all the time. I am surprised you got the speaker in one piece. I usually cringe when I have to recieve something with UPS, ecspecially ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb721 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 yeah ive been a package handler on the air-sort night shift for over 2 years now in windsor locks, ct and we do throw shit around a lot...i'd say the safest way to ship your stuff is air, only because it spends less time in transit. 3 day select is good, or 2nd day air. next day is a waste of money unless u absolutely need it that next day...in your case i would talk to the shipper and if they deny packaging it then take it up with ups.

king_jebus Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 That has got to be the shittiest packaging I've ever seen. I would file the claim and get the $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
