    Oh wow man, return that thing ASAP. Especially with HDMI (digital) cables as long as you aren't making long runs there is absolutely no need to pay even a fraction that price.

    Look at something like this:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024008&p_id=4026&seq=1&format=2

    or any other HDMI cables they have there and I promise you there will be no difference in image quality on your display.

    No problem man, save yourself a lot of money, the marketing behind these HDMI cables are brutal and big box stores are always trying to push cable sales.

    There are arguments over cable quality with analog cables but with digital, they essentially work or they don't.

    Digital Coax Cables, Optical Cables and HDMI cables from monoprice is very well made and will beat other stores cables in construction. If you want fancy looking cables, try Monoprice Premium Cables.

    Monoprice Analog IC and Patch cables are a different story and I wouldn't want to use these in my system except in the case of hooking up subwoofers from LFE output of your AVR or Pre/Processor. Monoprice speaker cable (zip cords) are also from the so so quality and not highly recommended unless you want to go cheap. :)

    There is always a sub project going on in my house :D

    I was going to sell my second pair of 7's , but decided to keep them for sub use.

    I usually sell the subs on a regular basis and make new ones ...problem is the last 5 of them have been built with the best drivers on the market ( TC Sounds ) and are not avail anymore so they aint going anywhere....the subs are starting to creep around into the family room now so I am sticking with the 5 ....these 2 eD's are for the mancave....I am just testing/breaking them in out here.

    Just carries audio/video....the newer ones are rated 1.3 for deep color and higher speed ...lossless audio...and a few other improvements...no magic to it.

    Even though I usually build my own cabinets, those are made by eD using their custom enclosure program...had em brace the hell out of them and use 2" mdf on the baffle and 1" mdf everywhere else....the finish is their Odye paint....its awesome in person :)

    Yes, I could call up Chris and have them make you a pair just like them with the cutout designed for your woofer size and have them done in the Odye paint as well....I would have to look at your T/S parameters to see if your driver is able to be downfiring....or you could just use them normally. I am sure I could talk him into free shipping again as well...saving BIG bucks because they weigh a ton.

    I believe when I looked at your T/S parameters your woofers would do well in actually a bit smaller box sealed...so the cost would be less as well.
