My amp is coming today finally! It's like Christmas all over again. Yay. I can't wait to compare it to the Outlaw. I will let you guys know what I think.

    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    It's 6:10 PM. Where is my amp?! The tracking says it's still on the truck for delivery. Guess mine will be the last. I need a Zantac :(

    How late do they deliver in Miami. I guess they can't go home until the truck is empty. Hope the driver isn't home listening to YOUR amp :eek: :D .

    The waiting is the hardest part!

    The Earthquake should smoke the Outlaws. More bottom end and dynamics. The Outlas are great, I use them, but not on the same league as EQ. Let us know how it sounds.

    I'm convinced that they do this (take their time) on purpose. :mad: Same thing happened to me on Monday - normal delivery time is between 12:30 - 1:30. My package didn't show up until 6:00! ****!!! ;)

    8:30 Still no UPS. The operator said that they stop at 8:15. Man am I not liking UPS right now. It was originally supposed to be here yesterday and they postponed it for today.

    I ended up driving down to the UPS office and they said that the package had not even been checked in there yet. When I asked why the tracking number info said that it was in route to my house they had no answer. The last word is that it should be 'scanned' at the local office at 3:00 AM tomorrow and I will pick it up at 10:00 AM. I guess we will see.

    I'll bet the driver was too lazy to deliver it due to its weight and size. That has happened to me on several occasions with FedEx, as well. The best thing to do is develop a good relationship with your delivery people, if possible, so they'll treat you right.
