You're welcome, and GET IN LINE. It's not easy trying to get s couple in their 30s to adopt a 60 year old. I keep emphasizing that I've already got my college education, am past the drugs and booze, and won't crash the car. They keep mentioning the costs of nursing homes and medication. I just can't win.
It's not very often that something puts a smile on my face, but you got me that time!

I've always wondered what the prices for b-stock HSU stuff was. Now i am curious what b-stock for HSU really means. I know that b-stock for axiom means no problems but Axiom is picky unless Axiom hates you but for $560 for a VTF-3, kinda have to wonder.

As the good doctor himself stated, in a way the B-stock are better than the A-stock because they go through a more stringent battery of tests.
I watched them test out my B-stock VTF3 MKII at the CA headquarters. It was really cool. They make sure the amp is working properly and check for vibrations in the cabinet from 100hz down to like 10hz, 1 hz at a time. It was pretty cool watching the speaker move back and forth so far and not hear anything but still feel bass in a warehouse!
Dr. Hsu stated that when the Subs leave the regular manufacturer that the don't do as many tests on the amp and speaker as he does.
I would not hesitate to buy. The previous owner probably returned because it produced too much bass and they neighbors made him return it.
Of course all this promotion for Hsu, I would really love to hear the EP 500 and 600. They immediately tempted me but am so happy with the Hsu that I will hold off for now.

I have read on the HSU forums that some people who bought B-stock subs had their amps blow out. But since warranty was still good, they sent out a new amplifier for you to install your self. That seems like a reasonable deal. Also looks like HSU is coming out with some sort of VTF-3/HO turbocharged model soon. The VTF-3 would meet and far exceed my needs for $560 + Shipping.

I only put about 3000 miles a year on my car. Chances are very slim. By the time I'm old enough to be dangerous, that nursing home will minimize the risk.
