I don't even need to explain, pics talk for me.

Not my sub, doing a local install & this is how I received the sub.

The box which I received it in.

Oh yeah, NOTHING but packing peanuts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

The pole was filled with peanuts too, didn't get a picture before vacuuming them out.

I've yet to put power to it.. I'm assuming there are little chips of packing peanuts in the coil gap. Not a whole lot I can do about it, gonna put power to it, make sure it runs fine. I hear no scratching, nothing but a small small noise at about 1/2 way pushed down.

I'm personally am surprised the pole piece didn't shift.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

It's clearly the shippers fault.. he never asked for help with packing.

He should have known a ~60lb sub wouldn't NOT move in a box full of peanuts.

edit: and the retard it was shipped here for just went to jail. So it's kinda my new toy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

but, if you look @ the pictures, it didn't have a chance. The hole is on the BOTTOM of the box.. I pulled the sub out & the BOTTOM of the sub had moved all the way to the side.

edit: see, it flipped.

Make a claim and see if they will get u a new sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Cant hurt to try man. Just say you bought it in prestine condition and that it was packed exactly how a UPS Store would have packed it. All they do is use peanuts for subs.. So they cant say it wasnt packed correctly.

I've got to make sure shipper put insurance on the sub.

Where do I need to go to file a claim? Never had to do it.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

lol. I'm not upset or losing any sleep over it. The pole didn't shift, that was my main concern.

Now I just gotta put power to it & hope to God I don't start smelling teh burnt styrofoam. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
