Funniest Thread

[Buckeyefan 1]

Is it just me, or is this one of the funniest audio related threads you've ever read? I had tears in my eyes and my side was literally hurting.

If he mixes and matches the impedance leves correctly then there's nothing wrong with running multiple speakers from the same output.

Uhhhh, wait a second I have to go check my connections . . . . .

That was definitely enought to crack me up!!

Thanks for the entertainment, buckeye.

That is funny. Poor guy probably wondered why his surrounds sounded so crappy. I wonder if he had the clothes dryer and his christmas tree plugged into the switchable outlet of the receiver?

Did you read that thread? Did it sound like that guy could comprehend matching impedences!!??

LOL. I'm only running 10 speakers off my A and B channels, why doesn't it work?

 

[Francious70]

I read it. I just didn't find it funny.

It is sad really, but hey, I we can all laugh at ignorance once in a while.

We were all ignorant at one point were we not?

Yeah, I was once upon a time back around '70 when I was 13. Yes, Sheep, Jax, and all you other young guys can pick at me since I'm so old I fart dust. I built a set of speaker boxes in shop class. Solid oak. Stuck 2 of those 5-1/4 inch car speakers in each of them. Wired them together and then ran the wires (several pieces of about 4-6 feet long each, mind you, twisted together with no wire nuts or tape) all around the room from the front to the speakers. It was all telephone wire. Twisted them together with the original two speakers that came with the JC Penney receiver. Talk about lucky it didn't catch on fire. What's that they say about the old stuff being built a little better than the new? That old JCP unit never cut out, never caught on fire.

As for the other thread; I like the part about using bare wires...with the white insulation.

Theres a person out there, with a RXV 1400, that doesn't deserve it. I wish sound equipment was like dogs, they come to their favorite

Ouch - a guy needs help and a lot of people are kind of bashin' on him. He even tried to hire a pro who was to clueless to get things done right. Be nice if some people chipped in with ideas to set him in the right direction I think.

That post makes me cringe - not laugh.

That's one reason why I don't like that particular forum. There were a few people that at least mentioned that he shouldn't be doing that. He's on the right track - he asked if an amp/amps would solve the problem. Too bad he went to the wrong place to ask the question.
