Giant Sub-Woofer
PuceBaboon sent us linkage to an amusing story about building a
gigantic custom sub woofer. I was about to yawn until I looked at the pictures of them excavating a 60 cubic meter hole, and laying bricks. This one might be a little outside the realm of reasonable, but it's damn impressive.
The question I have is, "why?" Is the guy making up for some other "shortcoming"?

Howard Stern would have a field day with this puppy!
Oh man.. that room with Motorhead's Boneshaker DVD and some Fort Garry Dark Ale.
All that'd be left are greasy, bloody smudges.
I can hardly wait for someone to put it in their car, and drive through my neighborhood at 3 am...

What those apparently puddles of yellowish brown liquid in the pics near the bottom are? Just how powerful is this thing anyway?
This MUST be old news. From the looks of the shwank pad, it must be the 70s. This is where pot will get you. Making giant subwoofers. Oh wait... pot will get you sleeping on the couch or laughing about things that aren't funny.
Nevermind.
Is this really the biggest? I heard somewhere Larry Ellison had an inground pool in his basement that he had turned into a subwoofer.

...scientists are predicting Southern California could be in for a major earthquake this spring or summer.
Hotblack quated as saying, "You call that a woofer??"
Free Mac Mini Yeah, it's
...setting up for a "Disaster Area" gig!

The main question is, does it go to eleven?
The CB App. What's your 20?
where do i plug in my guit?!
this is awesome. really, incredibly oversized and inappropriate - but absolutely awesome.
I hope I didn't brain my damage.
A giant subwoofer made with a wooden speaker cone soaked in sake?

You seem to be contradicting yourself.
All your BASS are belong to us
Isn't it interesting how you come to recognize posters based solely on their sigs???
Speaker guy: Is there a problem officer?
Policeman: The neighbors are throwing up. Can you please turn down your gigantic, crater-filling sub-woofer?
Speaker guy: Huh?

I've heard Hotblack Desiato used a black hole as a subwoofer at the galaxy twist gig next saturday.
Fans whom have will heard it claims:
-It really rocked!
Warning: This sig contains a small bug. ==> *
The neighbors must be thrilled!
For every post, there is an equal and opposite re-post.
For having the gigantic subwoofer and having mandolin music on the giant TV screen.
A far better screenshot would have been "Apocalypse Now" or even a "Quake" game.
bun-fhuinneog agam!
folks like me walk in and say that I can't hear anything different from my $30 walkman.

Make sure you run only quality Monster brand optical digital cables. I have it on good authority from the guy at Circuit City that if you aren't using Monster, the actual bits for the data stream have little jags on them that true audiophiles can hear.
To you, humor is just something that other people experience, isn't it?
Let's break out the mandolin. I don't think the mandolin is the best thing to test out the bass with. Maybe if they were building a giant tweeter.

Marty, you might not want to hook up to the amplifier. There's a slight possibility of overload.
If nothing else, the output grates certainly don't weigh a ton. Just remove one, and send your buddy crawling down the horn with a flashlight and screwdriver to replace the blown cone. Oh, and promise him that you won't fire the system up while he's down there. ;-)
