PRODUCT COMPOSITION (cont'd)

The included speakers are four satellites (pictured right) and one center channel (pictured left). The only difference between the center and the other speakers is its' horizontal orientation. Again, more on these ear drum rippers in the next section.

But where is the subwoofer?

I just had to include this seeing I found it rather amusing. After unwrapping the speakers, my back and spine was fearing having to lift this huge beast of a subwoofer out of the box. After closer inspection I found that wrapped around it was two lifting straps that allowed you to lift the subwoofer up with one arm along with holding the box down with the other. This still proved to be a daunting task. This subwoofer weighs in at close to 40lbs and will require two arms to sling it onto the top of your desk unless you are the Governor of California.

Most of the mass is due to the large magnet powering the subwoofer speaker and is strong enough to cause some major computer damage if you set it near your computer tower and allow the magnetic fields to erase or completely destroy your hard drives. This warning is no joke.

Once you have removed the packaging, carrying straps and plastic protective covering, you will be able to gaze upon your MONSTROSITY of a subwoofer. This bad boy is just ridiculous.......in a good way. *cue evil laugh*
