Examples include those hideous "shelf" systems with the superfluous output level displays and ridiculous breather ducts bulging out overywhere. Who buys this junk? This crap takes up a lot of valuable shelf space in retail establishments and I have never seen any human being purchase one of these monstrosities. Why don't they just stop already?

Hey, if your stereo isn't going to sound good, it should atleast look like a futuristic weapon...

I remember other people having some things like that when I was a teen.

Nowadays everyone my age has iPods and I'm trying to justify $1000 standmount speakers.

Somebody is buying this junk and I suspect they are those who are stuck just one level below the white van guys.

...Wal-Mart sells 'em...BB and CC too...maybe Target...Sears...PC Richard(a local NY retailer)...and there seems to be no end to the mfrs....Sony...JVC...Panasonic...lesser names and no-names and they do look sorta' like '58 Oldsmobiles...so there must be a sizeable market out there...

Why do people spend thousands on aftermarket wiring?

How about the JVC Mx-GT90?

 

[Resident Loser]

Didn't I...

How about the JVC Mx-GT90?

Dude, cool pipes.

JVC should hire H.R. Gieger to design molds for enclosures around some of these systems. They're getting close to looking like alien monsters anyway. Why not go all the way?
