1) the back of the 990 where the USB appears to be a connection as you would see on a printer? More like a "box" when seen from head-on as opposed to the flat thin rectangle you see on computers? That's better. I have MANY of those from the many printers I've had..

2) if I order today (Sunday Aug. 13 2006) when might I expect my 990/7500 combo? I live in Maryland, but I leave for Brazil exactly a week from today.

I'd like to have it by Friday.

1) The USB port on the back of the 990 is the square connector (like the one found on the back of a printer), not the flat one like you see in the back of your computer. The cables you have lying around will work just fine.

2) The 990 ships from the east coast, while the 7500 ships from the west coast. Ground shipping will get you the 990 in a couple or three days. I'd suggest calling Outlaw in the morning and asking them about what your shipping options are for the amp.

then the 7500 likely won't make it and my wife sure as heck can't lift 80 lbs without my aid! heck, even I would have trouble alone!

p.s. outlaw's XLR cable (5 pack) is good, yes?

Hi Known! Fancy meeting you here!

Outlaw makes great cables so go ahead and if I can lift my 100+ pound Earthquake Cinenova by myself you can handle the Outlaw :p

The 7500 probably wouldn't make it via ground, but they may have a faster shipping option if you call (of course, you may not want to actually go that route, since I doubt that 2-day or 3-day shipping of 80 pounds will be cheap).

Yep, the Outlaw PCB's are good cables.

Of course, the other option is to order it while you're in Brasil so it magically appears after you get back. I'm assuming that your wife isn't going to be installing the gear in your absence.

it's more like she'll be slightly miffed at this big heavy unopened box in the living room where my two little girls will mercilessly use it as a spare chair.

I BOUGHT TODAY!!

gonk . . I have been all over your site. I sure hope the firmware upgrade goes smoothly. I paid for 2-day DHL for the amp. It should get here in plenty of time. I am going nuts moving everything on my rack getting ready for the two new additions. the top 3 racks is nothing but Outlaw!! I have decided to let the 2200 monos drive the surrounds. The 7500 will be used to bi-amp the fronts and power the center.
