yes I got the AA's instead, I saved some money since I got a fat discount from a buddy of mine. the only downside is the wait time also! 2 weeks for them to be built and get here. I still want xcons though they are such a great sub.
Kinda off topic but my ethos took a month to make, im guessing since it was made and shipped with others. Some people have waited 1-2 months for their subs (no not custom ones)
