Now we know how Target keeps the freight cost down...wonder how Ikea manages to make their shelving units solid...particle board?

I had to do a repair to one tweeter, shimming the post so it made contact with it's...contact

And now....tadaaaa....I'm listening to Pandora for the first time w/o headphones and for computer speakers, plenty good enough. Total cost for drivers, crossovers and boxes: $28!

Wow! Can you imagine what a JBL 2226 would do to that enclosure with 50W input?

An M-80?

Naaah, the way you do that is you braid the fuses of 4 M-80s together. You don't want the job half done, do you?

I forgot we were discussing audio, overkill is the rule. Very Happy

It helps to have a Dad who brings 10 year old Bill a Case, as in 144, M-80s. Sure, it was nuts and there were very few mailboxes left standing Halloween morning, in, hmmmm, 1957. Somehow my frends and I didn't get in trouble but it was close because it didn't stop at mailboxes....anyone remember Milk Chutes?
