I had a subwoofer which when plugged in would rattle and bang, so i put it in the garage, we had a leaflet come round a couple of weeks back asking for any ewaste to be left on the street and it would be picked up free of charge, oooh good idea i thought, so did what was asked since it had been in the garage for a year or more, i thought "i'll never use it again" bugger me i just went to make a test lead and realised it was the same connector as was used on the back of that subwoofer cabinet, moral of the story.......NEVER throw anything out!!!!

i don't need a reply, i just need to scold myself in public.....lol

Neil.

p.s off to radioshack now to buy another one Grrr.

On a similar vein......

I've been hoarding a dead 2U network switch for months until I decided to finally bin it...

A few days later I needed a case for my amp.............:'(
