A gift for me? Or for Steph?
As some of you know, I am what some would consider an 'audiofile', or some would consider me to be an 'audio geek'. Not only do I like to listen to music as it was meant to be heard, but I also enjoy playing around with audio equipment (measuring, tweaking, listening, etc).
Well, for the last year, our family room has been home to a monstrosity of a subwoofer. It follows the form follows function philosophy, and it works just fine for me... but it doesn't score very well when it comes to WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). So, I spent several hours over the weekend putting my subwoofer in its new home... and I got it done just in time for our Roth Christmas gathering. So the question still remains, is it a gift for me? Or a gift for Steph? Since I could have lived with the old setup indefinitely, I would have to say that it was a gift for Steph...
Here are some before and after photos:
The yellow arrow points to the old subwoofer cabinet, with the amplifier on top.
The new, all black subwoofer cabinet with the speaker hidden behind a grill and the amp mounted to the back of the cabinet.
Here are a few other photos for those who might be interested in more than just the black box:

I would say that was definitely a gift for Steph. I think she really owes you now...... So much so that she would probably buy you a new TV or something to "try" to make it up to you...... :-) Looks good!

Nice sub enclosure. Maybe I should follow your example to please my wife. By the way the "Science-Geek" in me needs to correct your 'file' to 'phile'. It's all Greek to me you know.

Ok, my fellow audiophile, I changed it... I have seen it spelled both ways and never was quite sure which was correct... now I know.
