My new - VERY HEAVY - F112
I took delivery on a new Fathom F112 sub yesterday. (Thank you very much Ivan for the quick, painless delivery) Please, keep in mind that I am a retired, 65 years old, former semi-athlete gone to pot, rack, and ruin . . . . Anyway, FedEx brought the thing and deposited it in my garage. I got it turned over and unpacked without much trouble - but - the room where the sub is to be used is at the top of two flights of very steep stairs - and, I wanted to get the sub in place before my wife (who is still working for a living) got home, hoping that she wouldn't notice my newest acquisition.
I got my trusty hand-truck, strapped on the sub and began the extremely arduous task of, by myself, pulling the 115 pound billet of lead up to my listening room. I made it, pausing every two steps or so to breathe, and hoping that I wouldn't let the thing go, crashing to the bottom. I really don't think a major collision would do the, probably fragile, beauty any good. Well, the sub is now safely installed in my system with SF Mementos, and I love it! Working hard to get it properly set-up and dialed in. Please, y'all, give me any suggestions relative to setup etc., especially if you have used a F112 with Mementos.
