Guys, I'm going tomorrow to pickup an EP500 sub (ye ye!)
for those of you who've done this before, what's the fastest way to get up there and back? Also, which location do i have to pick it up from? The one indicated on the contact address on the website?


Yahoo maps is showing them near algonquin park..anyone know if it is faster to go west or east around the lake? which is the less convoluted route, and how many cops are on the highway 60 leading up to the factory cause I wanna put the pedal to the metal and get this thing setup for supper time, yeeeehaaawwwwww! (sorry..was just watching dukes of hazard)


EDIT: oh, and most importantly, is it scientifically possible to fit an EP500 box in a Mazda 3 sedan? (Trunk, Seat, who cares as long as it fits \:\) )

You might have to take it out of the box to make it fit.

I am not sure if they use the same boxes for pickup that they do for delivery, but the box is pretty BIG!

Good luck squeezing it in, you'll need it!

Hi Omar;

I can't tell if you've already left or if you're leaving tomorrow? Straightest route is best - the 400 to Highway 11, Highway 11 to Highway 60, Highway 60 about 23 km, just past the junction of Highway 35, 1 more km on your left, after the campground.

Best,

Amie

If you do not find one locally you could order form bluejeanscable online (I think they ship to canada).

Probably take a few days though.

Not sure if it's sonically the best solution but you could pick up a 20' and a 9' with a $3 female-female adapter available at home depot, london drugs, etc.

I think I've seen 30 ft cables at Home Depot.

Get a RG6 coaxial cable with the screw on ends and get an adapter for the ends.

Also remember that you don't need a sub cable per se... any coax with two rca ends will do just fine. So you might end up with a 30' long stereo rca cable. That'll work.
