It's arrived, my subwoofer

It looks a lot better than that pic would let on, finished in gloss black, and it's fairly compact, had to fight through a vast array of packaing materials until i reached it. I've been testing it out on my dad's HT setup and it's sounding very promising, i'm not going to spend a long time setting it up though, as i'll have to undo it all and replace his replace his sub again when i've finished. I'll order a Scorpion subwoofer cable and AVIA DVD ready for when i get back to my HT so i can set it up properly and give it a proper testing
I picked up a multi-region Toshiba SD330e DVD player yesterday from Richer Sounds too, using their price beat policy on Amazon's offer of £80, so an absolute steal for £70! So lots of goodies to be playing with think i might go and order some Superbit DVD titles to play on them now
