At least it's only $20 and he's honest about it ;)
Don't look, just listen. Works fine and produces lots of thump. JBL GT Series woofer Made in USA, Yamaha YST-SW100 amp Made in Japan, all housed in a lovely box. $20 obo.

    "...all housed in a lovely box." I wonder what his idea of a bad looking box would be.

    Yummy, a sub covered in donut glaze!
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Well - he definitely wont have any problems with the box being sealed...

    I'm wondering if he even used screws to mount the sub or if he went all out with the hot glue?

    Perhaps the guts are worth $20 and someone can build a nice looking case.

    Knife, sandpaper and some paint is all it needs. Someone should do a subwoofer makeover episode. :)
