Finally pulled the trigger on a piano black PB13 Ultra

Doesnt the shipping company provide a tracking # or estimated ship date ?

Tracking # yes, estimated ship date, unfortunately not. The last updated status is Toledo, OH. For some reason it seems to be going the wrong direction But I know that sometimes you have to go up before you can go down... I'm sure when I wake up in the morning and recheck the tracking it will be in a different state.

Interesting Im guesing the tracking # might me off a digit or two that can happen sometimes .

 

[GlocksRock]

who's tracking number, yours?

LOL no yours because you said it was heading the other direction , but who knows maybe yours is coming to my house J/K

 

[mike c]

the ETA should be on the tracking page ... there's none?

it's bax right?

 

[GlocksRock]

Yes, bax is the shipping company, but there is no eta on the tracking page.

 

[mike c]

hmmm, mine always had a fixed date of arrival.

 

[GlocksRock]

I hope there will be one at some point, but as long as it's here by Friday I'll be happy, and it's expected in Nashville, TN today, so it won't be too much longer.

 

[GlocksRock]

Looks like it already left Nashville, with an estimated arrival in Charlotte for today! I guess it will probably be delivered tomorrow. I just requested a half day off for tomorrow so I can be there when it arrives. I already have Friday off, but I have to take my mother to the doctor in the morning, but in the afternoon I'll definitly be putting it through it's paces.

 

[GlocksRock]

Now it's in Charlotte, this thing is moving much faster than I expected.

 

[GlocksRock]

Anyone know what the xmax is on the PB13 woofer?

 

[GlocksRock]

Now the sub is out for delivery... I hope my girlfriend is able to help bring it in, I know it's a large heavy box. I guess I should have taken the half day today instead of tomorrow.

 

[GlocksRock]

Just got delivered... I'm so happy! Gotta get some pics and head back to work.

 

[GlocksRock]

Didn't get a chance to get it out of the box, but I did replace the PB10 with the 20-39PC+ in the bedroom. I plugged one port and set the SSF to 16 hz. and played some of my demo material, and all I can say is WOW, this thing literally shakes the floor of the entire upstairs. My girlfriend was lying in her bed in the other room and said she felt the floor shaking. My bedroom is around 1450 sq. ft., probably a bit less, so it's not a large room by any means, but it sure does sound amazing. It's pretty funny having a subwoofer that is taller than the front speakers.

Seriously - e-mail Amazon and tell them about it. I'll bet you that they send you out a brand new one without ever asking for the first one back. Even if they ask for the first one back, they'll give you a prepaid return label. Amazon is awesome about that stuff, as they know that it happens.

YOUR BABY MUST BE COMING BY A HIGH SPEED JET PLANE WITH A TAIL WIND Thats so awesome, you should have yours by tomorrow hopefully . That Piano black is going to be beautiful

Have it by tomorrow? It was delivered at 12:30 PM today, I can't believe how quick it got here. I did a little bit if testing and so far I must say, I'm very impressed. I know I still have a lot more playing to do, as I haven't even touched the PEQ, or room compensation, or did any measuring with REW, but for now I'm just wating a movie.

Here are a few quick pics I took so far.

Next to the PB10-NSD box

My dog just had to be in the pic.
