and why you may not want a ported sub.
I have 3 yr old Hsu VTF2 that's been doing great. I also have a 16 month old boy who's doing great as well, but getting into everything.
A few weeks back my wife and I were trying to find some baby bottles that he uses for milk. Couldn't find a few. The other day, my son walks up to the sub w/ some toys and I here a thud. No toys. Great, he dropped one inside. I disconnect and open it up. Sure enough, there's a tennis ball and a milk bottle w/ some "cheese". I told my wife he's helping justify a new sub...

Axiom subs have a grill over the ports. Keeps out toys, milk bottles and small rodents. If that's not enough, the SVS tower subs have a METAL grill over the ports which will keep out larger rodents as well

Reminds me of something I got today at work. It was titled: "A child's last day on earth".  Which makes me think of a VISA commercial.... Designer Leather Sofa: $3,000 Restored Hardwood Floors: $2,000 Flat Panel Hi-Def TV: $2,250 Knowing they're spending next summer at their grandparent's house: Priceless. Take care, Rich

Cesar, it looks like you experienced what Jim(jbzngowest)did a few years ago . Now, what we want to know is did you also experience "deeper, tighter bass" as a result of your son's "mods"?

If it makes you feel any better I'm pretty sure I still have at least one dead mouse in my M60s.

OMG, THAT is funny. It's a keeper. Wow, isn't that all of our nitemares? If my Salamander didn't have doors, I'm sure my VCR would be full of cereal, blueberries, cars, and maybe some PB&J sandwiches.

Lord have Mercy. Wouldn't that be covered by homeowner's insurance? Couldn't it be considered a natural disaster?  Now I remember why I never had children. Good thing! Cuz if my HDTV were painted white, I'd end up being guilty of murder.  Nah! No jury would convict me. Justifiable homicide!

Lol, that is scary particularly since those boys are about the same age as mine, somehow my thoughts keep flashing to those kids parents who could probably use a bit of a smack also. 
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
