Carl,

Thanks for your hospitality Saturday evening; I enjoyed our visit and
It was a pleasure chatting with your Wife and children as well.

Although it was no surprise, your system is just superb. Thanks for auditioning it!
I must say that you guys are corrupting me. I was warned, and as expected I am being pulled in...

Anyways Here's a few pics of the Behemoth I picked up from Carl.
It is going to be a challenge finding somewhere to put this in my living room, but I must to figure
something out or my wife may give me the Lorena Bobbitt treatment.

I tried telling her that it is "Not even 50% larger than the old one".
She's not buying what I'm trying to lay down.

Looks great Al!

Thanks for stopping by and your kind words on my system.  We enjoyed your visit.  That sub was wonderful for me.  Please let me know if you have any problems.

Regards,

Very cool Al.  It looks to be blocking almost half of your doorway into the living room.  LOL

Turn it sideways.  You can even peel the SVS sticker off and stick it on the side.  It falls off every two months anyways.  This may give you more doorway clearance.  I doubt that it will affect any sonics.  Lookin' good Al!

Yep, I had aleady turned it sideways earlier today. I just snapped a few pics last night before heading to bed. My wife commented that she did not like the fact that the rear panel wires and controls were visible in that configuration, but agreed that it is less obstructive that way.

It is not going anywhere though; this sub is quite impressive.
I may have to run the sunfire in the LR and use the svs in the front

I'm glad you enjoy it Al.  I too was quite impressed with it.  It was just way too much sub for me in my system.  My neighbor told me once that his wife always sent him outside to smoke.  He could always tell when I was watching a movie because the gutters on my house would vibrate.

I'll try, but I already returned the forklift I rented to get it into the house. :P

That's just way too awesome to hear Carl. I love hearing stories like that. ;D

Congrats on getting that Sub from Carl, AL. 8)

Thanks. I think OCCD may be right though.
I should have taken the blue pill.
