The SVS PB12-NSD finally arrived. Before saying anything else, I would say that the guys at SVS rock! I received great support all the way from pre to post sales to delivery.
I rent a townhome, so the UPS guy dropped the package at the property office since I was at work and SVS deliveries require signature. Once back home, I went to the office to pick it up and when I saw it all I could say is "Oh sh*t this is big...I think I will come back in a bit to pick this up". The UPS sticker said 94 lbs.
I went to the blue hardware store and picked up a hand truck. Returned to the office and managed to load the box into the vehicle with the help of the hand truck.
Got the sub back home and stared at the box for a few minutes. I realized I needed a bigger house probably.
Anyways, the packing was sturdy - double boxes with foam padding. Finally got this "thing" out. I know that when people plug this monster in, the first words they say is OMG. But just looking at the sheer size and weight of this sub similar feelings are easily invoked. I didnt have the idea of how big this sub is...It is BIG!
I havent yet hooked up the Sub yet because I am waiting on my speakers from Axiom. Should start getting them by next week hopefully. That will give me enough time to wipe the dust off the receiver (HK AVR 240) and go through the manuals.
With the Sub I have got the Avia DVD and SPL meter. So more details to follow.
BTW, I bought the 12 ft digital coaxial audio RCA cable from monoprice.com.
