I ordered 2 RTi8s from JR a few days ago and today I received my order.

Here's how it turned out:

One speaker missing in action...
the other speaker is dead.

this sucks!!!

    I just called up JR and must admit that they did a great job taking care of me. They're having UPS come to pick up the broken speaker and will refund me for both. Apparantley the second speaker is lost on transit but they will handle it.

    Now i have the all clear to get the 10's ;)

    I talked to UPS today and they told me that the second speaker is sitting in their warehouse. :confused: UPS never fails to disappoint with deliveries. Anyway, they're sending it back to JR
