I came home from work today and noticed that the speaker wire normally connected to my left-rear QS8 was laying on the floor beneath it. I have a couple young kids and I knew instantly who was responsible, but I didn't know exactly what had happened. My son Stevie, the older, non-guilty party told me what happened.

"Gracie tried to climb up the wire." (but the image was funny!)

I'll spare you most of the details of what happened next -- no child was harmed or even touched, though. (It took restraint, lemme tell ya) -- but I did impress upon her that wires of any kind are not to be pulled, yanked, or climbed, and that any lesser speaker/bracket combo may have ended up on her head.

I examined the speaker terminals and they were fine, but they did have a bunch of copper strands still stuck in them. Guess I screwed them down pretty tight. \:D

Anyway, crisis averted. All is fine.
