Yeah... I'll do that when the one in there finally lets go I guess... that 
speaker definatly doesn't put out much bass anymore either :-/ (the one with 
a replaced woofer... I had some things in front of it once when I had the 
stereo turned up a bit, and the things were actually vibrating)... my 
reciever doesn't put out the cleanest 120 watts, but it's not overly high in 
distortion either.. I think it's supposedly rated at 0.0001% THD (of course, 
that's going by the manufactuer's [JVC] specs...)
