The reason I'm posting here again, is that I got the Sub-Woofer back today after I'd returned it the day after I got it, coincidentally, the same day I got the rest of my SparcStack™ and the KBDs. The Sub's still in inoperable condition . . .
. . . until hack the lil' somonab . . . }
But it really shouldn't be all that bad, I've just got to noodle out all the low voltage control lines relayed to and fro between the Sub/System Amp and the two front speakers, including the on-off button and Volume Control for the Sub.
After a bit of time without hearing back from the shop, I began to pester them!
I finally went in today, knowing I couldn't get my money back, and we found MOST of the paperwork I'd left taped to the top of the Sub. While they were hemmin'-n-hawin' about what to do, I spotted some kind of 17" Apple LCD Studio Display and asked about it. At first they said it had to go to the owner's for some reason or other, probably because they didn't have anything to test it with. This is the same place I got the "as is" 17" CRT Studio Display that's been my main monitor ever since. I told them I had no qualms about buying the Sub "as is" for $10, but some arrangement had to be made because they'd sold me something that tested OK in January with all the parts hooked up and then, when some idiot(s) brought the two pairs of speakers that went with it up to the counter separately, they re-priced them and sold them!
Finally, the manager said: "Will you take the Sub and the Monitor so I can be done with this?" }
"No Problem," I said . . . :approve: :lol: 
. . . and now my 17" CRT SD is pushed way back and, in front of it, the (slightly beat-up, NCSU sourced) 17" LCD SD is tickin' along like a freakin Timex! It won't win any beauty contests, but it'll help to keep the temperature down when I use the QS02/space heater at my (upstairs) bedroom workstation this summer!
The full 17" diagonal 1280 x 1024 also looks a little less like the ole' SE Periscope than the 17" CRT did, after so many years of 21" Graphics Level CRTs, I'm kinda picky about Displays! It's also the first time that I've EVER used an LCD as the main monitor on my primary design station. =8-P
I'm still a little over-budget for the IRS Refund Madness, but I'm very happy with how this "next to the last chapter" of my Sub-Woofer's liberation has played out! [] ]'>
