Actually it would have to be from an American polkie. I'm looking at buying some fxi3s from the polk ebay store but they don't ship to Canada :confused:
So I'm in the midst of talking to my wife about it and in order for the decision to be in my favor, I want to present her with a plan, thus insuring I would have a way of getting them here are they are 149$. So as of right now this does not mean that it's a for sure thing but I would confirm with the person(s) willing to help at a later date.

If I'm not mistaken, the white ones can be painted, do they look good painted or do they end up looking like a lump on the wall? I'm exploring this option as my couch is against the wall and my Rti4s are my rears right now not wall mounted but on their backs on the floor. So I think this is the best option for me.?? right ??

Thanks

    When are you coming down? I could hold them for you to take back on your flight if it isn't to far away. I would offer to ship, but a Polkie closer to you might be a better option.
    Let me know.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    If you're flying to either location, putting 2 speakers on a plane as extra baggage (and oversized depending on boxes) will cost more than shipping........unless you happen to be a medallion/club member on any of the major airlines and they waive your 2nd and 3rd bags free up to 70 pounds........
