Hi everyone, I had an amp putting out 2100 watts at 1 ohm on my SP4 18" (Stereo is currently out of the car for the Canadian winter) and I had a couple questions. This is my first build with a large woofer. I set the gain on the amp using my oscilloscope when I had hooked everything up, and I think it might just be my inexperience with this amount of bass, and I don't really know what I should be listening for. The excursion of the woofer is really high and I think I just have no reference point on what should be happening (coming from two 10" woofers on my first build). I don't think it is possible to over power the woofer with this amplifier, and I'm not getting a distorted signal (tested with the scope) and doesn't sound distorted either. Do I have anything to be worried about? What should I be listening for or checking when I hook this thing back up in the summer?

That is reason enough to stop using their service, thank you for getting back to me about that. For future purchases, can someone coordinate their own customs clearance with FI, which would be passed through to UPS? I know from talking to the people at UPS, if you do not pre-coordinate your clearance with UPS, they will leave the item at the port of entrance (which was 700km away from my location in my case) and the buyer would be responsible for dealing with the package therein.

I ordered an 18" SP4 and they want to charge me 100 on top of the 150 I have already paid for the shipping. Look for your local CBSA office, call UPS and get them to send you the commercial shipping invoice, print that. Bring your ID and tracking number, then you will just have to pay the GST/HST/PST, I have to drive 120km to get my customs paid for, but even with gas I am still going to save 50. If anyone from FI reads this, it might be a good idea to weigh your options shipping with USPS for Canada, lots of people do not know you can clear your own packages, and they are going to get charged a lot of crap brokerage fees, which is just a ridiculous scam.
