highly doubtful for two reasons...
Only a couple more people came onboard.

It would be Very minimal of a difference, meaning I would have to go through all of the payments and send each person back maybe $5, after PP fees, it turns out to be even less than that.

Just to let everyone know what is involved here..

I of course (with help from Rich) organize this entire thing. Answering questions-PMs/Emails/Phone calls along the way.

Place and process the order, keeping track of each indicual person and exactly what they got.

Receive the order, unpack and rebox each piece individually. The label each set and bring a car load to Fedex and stand in line forever. Then sit there as they process each one. I also ordered boxes to ship these in, as I dont have boxes the same size as the speakers ( I always double box). Rather than using larger boxes and paying higher freight costs I opted to purchase some.

All in all I make VERY MINIMAL from doing this. Is it worth it to me? Absolutely and thats how my reputation grows. Knowing that Im helping out that many more people is enough for me, but the literally couple bucks per set does help, after all I do quite a bit. Between the cost of boxes,shipping/insurance and taking the time from my (as most already know) Extremely busy day it breaks down Very quickly.

haha thanks. Yeah I was a bit surprised dealing with the PM's and keeping a track of who actually paid, who claimed they wanted them, and who were bums and did not pay. Once these speakers are in the hands of the owners, I am excited to hear the response!

I'm not sure about Fedex but with Ups you can call them up and have a driver come to your business. I'm guessing you have a account with Fedex just trying to save you some hassle.

Don, I'm more interested in the SLC 365's, but was wondering what is the difference between those and the SLC 365 Kick's??

Output? You mean power handling?

Anything at or above 50w per channel will suffice.

yes..power handling is the word i was looking for lol... thanks! .. I'm leaning towards the new Fosgate 450.4's to power them... 60W x 4 at 4 ohms should be enough
