Has anyones sub caused any damage to your home and the stuff in it?

Mine has broken a couple of picture frames...

A webcam...

A telephone...

And...and...

it has knocked all of my action figures off my TV-Stand causing it to scratch the high gloss finish :mad:

And....I'm sure theres more...

Just curious to see if anyone has broke anything! LOL

    Told the wife that was what we could do with the knick-knacks on the fire place mantle... She had this blank look and said, "They actually might move?" :D

    I am concerned about the window in the corner with the sub. Only time will tell...

    My house, I discovered many new nail pops that had to be repaired, I broke a glass lamp shade that can not be replaced, one of those limited edition things my wife bought, she's still pissed today about that:D , I can't keep any picture frames on the shelf behind my seating position anymore due to the fact they keep falling on the table between the two chairs, nothing like watching a action packed movie only to have a picture hit the table and scare the !@#$ out of ya:eek:. All the pictures on the walls downstairs and upstairs are unlevel. One of the things I think my wife hates most, when watching a movie downstairs at -10, the glass break sensor for my house alarm upstairs, in the kitchen, will beep, drives her nuts. And finally, had a party one night and while all of us were outside on the back deck, the chairs on the deck were vibrating:D YEAH BABY!!!!!

    An large sliding glass door 3 panels 12' long by 8' tall glass. Was a bit worried about it, but when a got 100mph winds during a Hurricane I said to my self one tough Son of B.... Sliding Door..... Then next Hurricane I boarded up that side of house, so maybe I was a bit worried after all.

    Hmmm, I think the worst my sub could do is blow itself out, that or disturb the cobwebs acumulating under the ports. I probably could do without my one-note "wonder" MTX SW2.

    Oh Man, I just fried my Skybox beer machine. No kidding. After testing my svs with a bass mekanik test tone disc the damn thing won't work. The machine is 2 feet away from the sub.
    Lets see........One minute before test, machine dispenses beer. 30 seconds after test, machine doesn't dispense beer and lights don't work. Also dropped 3 tree ornaments and two pictures on wall. I always thought the "pictures falling of the wall" posts were a little exagerated but not now. It appears the compressor is still working so at least the beer is still cold.

    Right maybe just simple as that, or something loosened to leak CO2?

    Same as most, the usual clocks, pictures, lights and books falling ect.

    I however found that it was always disapointing to walk up the hallway and into the bedroom discovering 'bits and pieces' on the way, sure learnt fast. Better hooks that close up for better stability, but to be honest it was mostly in adjacent rooms with the pictures ect.

    The wall near the subs is loose and rattles a bit and it never used to.

    Just moved to a new house to start again, timber floors too, ahh, the life of a 'bass enthusiast'...............:p
