Around 1:30PM yesterday afternoon, I get a call from the Mrs.

Her: "A Sears truck just left the house."
Me: I get that screwed-up WTF look on my face. "Umm...why? We order something?"
Her: "Well yeah...you know."
Me: "I do?"
Her: "Remember...John (my bud in the A/V industry) subcontracts out to Sears with some of his time?"
Me: Stands up out of chair "YEEESSSSSSSSSS!"

The subwoofer was delievered yesterday, after a painful week-long wait. Needless to say, yesterday afternoon was one of the longest afternoons in the office in a long time. As I'm driving home, I get a SMS from my friend letting me know it was dropped off. My reply was that I was 10 minutes away from the house at that point, and will have the liquidification of my internal organs commencing as soon as I get home. He reminds me to calibrate the receiver and new subwoofer first, which I conceed to do (against my will). Well, after about 45 minutes of letting my receiver take test points at 6 different seating locations in the room, I'm finally ready to test it out.

I call my two boys into the room, have them sit down, and toss in The Transformers. Fast forward to the first scene with Blackout. BOOOOOMMMM! My 7-year old turns to me and says "Daddy...I can feel the floor shaking!"

<insert ear-to-ear grin for the rest of the night>

Another good scene for a nice subwoofer, in War of the Worlds, when the war machine comes up out of the ground and every one is staring at it and then it sounds it's alarm horn. Awesome!!!
