Yes, Jeff, it has charged and the sub is installed. It is a beast. It has, I am going to use smoothest, sound That I have ever heard from a subwoofer. It even sounds better than the pair of tc2000 12s that I had a while back. A worthy investment, had to move a lot of stuff to get this baby. The box was built by the Jedi himself, and the force IS with this one. Looking forward to enjoying this beast for a long time. Now I just have to upgrade my comps, one mid on one side, and a tweet on the other, have given up the ghost. The 18 blends in wonderfully. If I had had more stuff to sell, I would have gotten 2 of the twelves, but this would do, since there is more cone area with the 18. If someone is willing to post pics for an old man, shoot me a pm. The best way to describe this sub is, when you are tired of being obnoxious, and are ready for grown up sound.
