hoping it gets here by saturday so i don't have to sit through sunday without it, and then have to install it some night next week.

Doesn't that just SUCK when that happens? All too often I've had something from Crutchfield arrive on a Monday after I did nothing but sit around all weekend. We all know the scenario: You end up staying up late on Monday night working on the install, which is that much harder 'cause you have to do it in the dark with a flashlight. You want to just get it done, but your wife makes you take a break for dinner and forces you to spend some "family time"- the whole duration of which consists of you fidgeting and waiting for your chance to get back out there and finish it. Then at 10pm you discover that you're out of shrink tubing or you need a certain kind of connector or something, but Radio Shack has been closed for hours and you have to jerry-rig something just to get by until tomorrow. And finally, after all that work, you're finally done, but it's 2AM and you can't crank the thing up for fear of waking the neighbors.

Can I get an "Amen", brothers?

Not that it's Crutchfield's fault (or empeg's for that matter). It's just such a waste when it happens.
