Free 18" Subwoofers

I am putting three new subwoofers in our home theater test lab, and I have four Velodyne 18" Subwoofers that anyone who wishes to have one (or 2) for your own home theater can just drive over and pick up, for free. I live in Redwood City, California, so it just depends on how far you are willing to drive. You will need a large van if you want to have a stereo pair. But even one of them is big, so don't drive 150 miles and arrive with a small car.

Let me know if you want a sub, and we will arrange a time for you to come over and get it.

Wow 18's. Ok. I'm crazy enough about Audio. I'm 400 miles away in Orange County. It will take me about 7 hours one way to get there but it's well worth the drive for me. I can be on the road tomorrow morning. Let me know.....

I need a few days to get everything out onto the deck and just had foot surgery this afternoon, so let's make it next weekend if possible.

Ok. Let me know when is good for you. (During the week will also be fine with me. Just don't make it Monday as my wife would kill me for taking a road trip on Valentines Day.) Also, let me know if you would like me to come by before they are out of the house to help you carry them to the deck. That way you can keep the load off your foot.

Giving away free sub woofers? And real nice one's at that. That's one of the coolest things I've ever heard of. Get well soon John.

So why don't you live in Vermont (where I work) or in Quebec (where I live)? ;)

Kidding aside, it is a generous gesture on your part, in keeping with a long-standing tradition at Secrets. Kudos (and congrats to the lucky ones who benefit from your largesse).

Wow, that is truly an amazing act you're doing. Wish I was in your neck of the woods...but the Air Force is sending me Alabama, not Cali.....darn the bad luck. My best to you and whoever gets in on this incredible act of kindness.

John,

If you still have some up for grabs, I'm in. No question. I'll be there this weekend if that works.

Just noticed your foot surgery comment! I hope it was nothing too serious, and I hope you are recovering well.

If any of these are still available, I'd love to come down and get one. (From Portland, so a weekend day would work best for me.)

Thanks.

No, they were taken just a few weeks after I made the offer, last year.

Oops. How embarrassing.. :)

When I first read this thread it was March 2nd, so my brain just glossed over the fact that it was March 2nd 2011.
