    Somebody on here is from Greenville. I'll win the auction, you pick them up and set fire to them right in front of the guy, take pics and post them here.

    Here are some memorable quotes from that retards' item description:

    -"The receiver is a Kenwood 1080-VR which is rated at 120x5 (700 watts) with remote included." 120 X 5 = 600; As far as I can tell, the actual model name of this unit is AV-1080. If it is really the VR series, it would be VR-1080, not 1080-VR.

    -"It also does a great job playing DVDs in 5.1 mode (actually, the Vega's are so powerful, I had to turn the woofer off during movies)." PAAAAA-LEASE!

    Im going to do it.

    I bet I can call it like...

    UBER BLOSE -302

    And I'll up the woofer to a 10" and make it a 4" cone tweeter for those more extended highs. I'll even use a plunger as a PR instead of a port. Eff them. Eff Bose.

    For the terminals - I'll use those hooks that hang plants.

    Ah cmon now. Its not that bad of a deal...

    For 3 bucks, you get a Paradigm center, BLOSE surrounds... (I'd disect those things so fast... I'd run them through my table saw to be honest.)... and some big ol CVs. And some POS Kenwood subwoofer and receiver. A perfect example why Kenwood left the HA market. Wow.

    I'd take the CVs though - I have a use for em.

    One thing that is consistent in that entire system is the amount of foam used in the drivers. Sheat.

    Nice. That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while.

    If there was an award for most creative use of the internet before 8:30 AM on a Thursday, you'd win.

    To echo what was already said, for $3, those CVs would really make good party speakers...

    The best line in the auction:

    For sale is a home audio surround system that could almost wake the dead


    priceless...
