    @afterburnt Bruce are these going to be in your main system or your alternative? I remember you having a nice SVS in your alternative rig.

    Guy I know has one of those Milwaukee battery operated chain saws. Works pretty good, and won’t kill whatever brain cells you have left with carbon monoxide.

    I got two brain cells left, I challenge any CO to actually hit them.

    @GlennDog they have been here since Tuesday, I think. I have to do some serious thinking and some minor demolition to get em set up. These suckers require a lot of attention in the back so I have to make them accessible, the placement is secondary since I have so little room to work with. I am stoked about getting them online but I have learned the pitfalls of over-exuberance.

    I am still wondering about the Monitor Audio subs that my nemesis @nooshinjohn turned me on to. I may buy them because I need more gear lol! those are like appliance white so I am thinking the kitchen or bathroom.

    Oh and I have one useless arm, and I am afraid to go to the doctor because they may want to amputate, and it's my second favorite arm!

    Dang Bruce! Don't be offended, but this post struck me as very polkfarmboy-esque :D:D

    Congrats on the subs. No doubt they will be awesome.

    BTW this is stop gap make fit situation. God willing all of this stuff goes into a dedicated room in 13 months and that will still be a tight fit.

    ^^^The new MA Silver line is nice! That price is about half off and you get room correction!

    Great looking set in white!
