just got my 04 reconed re xxx and i noticed when ups dropped it off the box wasnt in great condition so i looked inside and the sub is fine except for a couple spots on the surround where it looks like it was chafing on the cardboard box, i can take a picture if you guys want but it is very unnoticeable and prob hard to see in a pic, it isnt gouged at all just some surface rub just wanna kno if this will become a problem

It shouldn't. But check periodically for signs that it advanced all the way through from playing. Unless you want to take up a claim with UPS now, but from what I hear you'll waste a lot of time and effort and likely won't get anything from it.

lol ya thats what i hear. it looks like a very minor surface scuff but i notice it because the surround is laminated somewhat or at least has a shiny reflection and on the scuff it is a little lighter than the rest i am debating wheteher to take up a claim with ups but if i file a claim i beleive ill have to give them the sub and then wait weeks for justification if i am not gonna have problems other than cosmetic than i could give a f--- less

Well even if it does go all the way through at some point, you can still patch the surround without getting a recone or anything like that. If it ever happens, just do a search for how people repaired holes in their surrounds from poking it with a screwdriver while installing the sub. Believe me, there have been a million threads about it. However, I think it'll be fine and nothing will ever happen.
