Honestly, just venting a bit. I figured, that at the least, a bunch of audiophiles would be able to commiserate. I bought a Rythmik Audio LV12 off ebay, based on the review here of the similar L12 - the V stands for vented. The ad said, that it had "Great Sound" and was in used condition, but was marked parts only, as the condition was so poor. It was also only 330 CAD shipped - a third the price of a new one here. I bought it, with the understanding that it worked (he said it did); but knowing, that perhaps I'd have to repair it a bit.
After a week of shipping, it finally arrived! I unpacked it, and immediately noticed some peanuts. Perhaps someone was having a joke; and as opposed to using packing peanuts, had put the real thing. Alas, the joke wasn't very clever: I had to open the sub and take out the peanuts, almonds and a choco chip from inside! Furthermore, due to the terrible packaging the sub received, all of the corners are busted, the power button is permanently on, and the crossover knob is gone. Also, YE GODS this thing is huge!
All I wanted was to fill in the missing bass. Instead, I got peanuts - and a 330 CAD end table. Hopefully Rythmik can help me fix the thing
