Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Child Proofing Speakers

I lost a tweeter to a curious 2 year old. It aint fun.

Too bad we can't lose twitter to a two year old.

Yeah, the dust caps get pushed in a fair amount on my mids. NO big deal; they sound just fine and I only notice on the rare occasions I take the covers off. I'll probably replace those drivers when the kids get to the age of reason.

What age would THAT be? 40?

Took the words right out of my mouth. I can tell you 7 is still not it.

Well, if you start at the second page of the "childproofing speakers" thread the discussion is all about electric shock collars, so someone unfamiliar with the Axiom forums might assume that the posts had something to do with the thread subject

I have also been party to a few incidents involving kids and collars, mostly starting with a question like "Dad, can $friend try $dog's new collar ? I promise I'll only turn it up to 6 this time."

... ... ...

That caused a flashback: in collage a guy asserted that another guys dog was a wimp for paying attention to the invisible barrier that kept him from running to the busy street. So, after careful prep (yep, booze) and a philosophical debate about the potential voltage of a 9v battery, he agreed to try it. Ran full speed for the property line and ZAP. I can't describe it, but it was the funniest thing we had ever seen - like he was hit by lightning, but in a cartoon. Closest I'll admit I've come to peeing myself. He gained a lot of respect for that dog that day. I also think he realized the benefit of fur! Good times. If we had just filmed it we could have started the show Jackass.

And an idea for a dangerous playset was born....

Toy Tasers for Tots ?

Oh Mark, that is good. It's too early, but when they get tired of the set and want a real freaking Mountain or some crap, I'll add some excitement to the games.

Great idea.
