    If I had the means and the room, I would end up eating diner on speakers and having to move them to find a place to sleep! Good luck!

    One day my furniture will be relaced with speakers! Its funny because I was browsing the local cl ads and the ad didnt even have the 5jr's listed by name- just "speakers". I recognized them in the pic and made the call. It pays to spend time browsing every ad. Some people, especially scorned ex-wifes & girlfriends selling off their boyfriends gear, have no clue on how to list it other than "speakers". Bahaha.

    I will as soon as I finish setting (or re-setting) the new setup. I just got back from my repair guy an SAE 2600, that's the 400 wpc monster and I've got another one coming from Michigan. The guy in Michigan has a mod for the light meters where the bulbs are replaced with blue led's. So I ordered enough to do all my amps. I think it's gonna look real sharp once I've placed and rewired everything to my liking.

    Yeah, those are cool, I got one from a forum member and I've got a second one on the way because my couch is actually 2 separate couches pushed together. So only one is getting the transducer effect.

    Can I add a speaker to a toilet? I seem to spend most of my time on the can. Sorry just looking for more places to add speakers again. P.s Was I the only kid who had a speaker on his bike? Circa early 80's. I took them out of an old CV speaker cabinet. Hooked it up to a walkman and voila!

    My wife begs to differ! But then again her "obsession" is Coach purses & expensive shoes. I wish I could use the excuses she does to justify a purchase. " I dont have that color purse" or " My heels have to match my bag" Maybe I will have to buy a new pair of surrounds to match my fronts. Baha.

    Ha! No way! I did about the same thing but mine was more of a "desk top" thing!

    Also lined the box spring of my bed with guts from old Fisher speakers! Sounded like crap but, it was "interesting"!
