    yeah it does suck, he said he has another in excellent shape and will replace, but trying to say the other was fine when he shipped it.

    "Fine when he shipped it?" Ya, whatever. Thought EVERYONE knew that soft rubber doesn't "split" like that of it's own account. Hope it works out for you.

    Whewww. Zarrdoss you're a cool customer. I go nuts when I see speaker damage like that...almost like a werewolf during a full moon. I REALLY lose it. Probably wouldn't have been able to hold it together like you did above...

    Congrats on straightening that out!
