I got the BIC F12 in yesterday evening and am happy to report that everything not only arrived in one piece, but barely a dent or gouge in factory box!

I have my doubts that the sub is 'new' as the box and bag that the sub was in looked as if a first grader taped it up. Still, no scratches or blemishes, and from the very brief listening period I had last night, everything seems to be in working order.

The sub will not win any beauty contests. Just a rectangular box. The vinyl on the cabinet does match up well with the M3's however so that is a big plus.

It is front friring with a port on the back, and was extremely lucky in that the ONE space I had cleared for it worked out GREAT! I have the volume around a quarter of the way up, and Audyssey is still trimming 4dbs off of the signal.

I'll note my impressions and maybe snap a few pics once I have had the chance to devote some quality listening time. Kids were already in bed by the time I had run through the Audyssey calibration.
