Speakers Arrive Undamaged.. Shockingly 😡

[Carverpro 672]

Man, I don’t know who is to blame here. The distributor for the pathetic attempt at packaging.. or Ups?? I have ordered stuff for years , from all over the world: this is the first time I have received a package in such piss poor shape. The woofer outer steel lip was actually sticking out of the box, resting on my deck.😡 Thankfully, after closely inspecting both drivers.. I don’t see any damage. Regardless.. nothing but incompetence/ negligence imo. I feel like calling up Amazon and requesting a refund.

Good thing that you have photos. Now for the real test.

As mentioned, these drivers have a lot of great reviews.  They look like they are well built. For about $210 usd ( $269 cdn ).. appears to be a great deal. I wonder if they really need a break in , with not pumping too much power into them?? I have never worried about this before lol

You'll be fine.

Wow - I think you should take another look - there has to be some major damage you haven't somehow noticed!!!!  

 

That's almost a "blind squirrel moment!"  I'm glad they made it.

 

Do we get to see what they are getting used for???  Inquiring minds want to know!   And pictures!!  There MUST be pictures!!!

I looked them over closely lol. Not even a scratch. They are going in my ‘ Frankenstein’s’ . One of the Vegas threw in the towel. Not blown, but there is a break in the speaker lead(s), going into the coil under the dust cap.

@Carverpro Nice journey the speakers experienced. If they can survive that gauntlet they will survive the next step in their journey.
