Here's some quotes from the sellers questions, its all pretty funny.

Q: Will it include any anti-attack firing batteries to ensure my girlfriend doesn't mount a sneak attack? I suspect she is a rebel sympathizer.
A: It's defenses against girlfriends are a known weakness... hence the reason it's on ebay

Q: Look at the size of that thing!
A: Cut the chatter, Red 2.

Q: Do you still have the plans for this death star or have they been stolen?
A: I find your lack of faith disturbing... http://www.objectreality.co.uk/DeathStarPlans

Q: If your "deathstar" subwooofer had a stand-up fight with a "borg cube" all-in-1 hi-fi then who'd win and how?
A: The Death Star can destroy a planet. I can't imagine it would struggle against a gramophone with a built in wireless and auto-reverse cassette deck.

Q: Please can you confirm whether it is the black or red thermal exhaust port that leads directly to the Main Reactor?
A: You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor!

Q: Does it have an artifical gravity generator?
A: No, it relies on real gravity.

Q: What sort of defenses does it have, if on the off chance.. there is a Rebel attack. I don't really want to cough up for this only to have it destroyed by some pesky X-Wing fighters.
A: It protects itself by oscillating the atmosphere around it at low frequencies. An X-Wing would fall apart before it got close.

Q: I appreciate you not being able to offer shipping - would you be able to give me a hand loading it? I don't think it will fit in my car, do you think it would be possible to get it on a roof rack? Thanks.
A: I can give you a hand of course. Being a sphere I'm not sure it would be suitable for a roof rack. I've never tried, but it would probably go in a hatch back with the seats down.

Q: I have a "Cloud city on the gas planet Besbin" AV receiver. Are they compatable?
A: The Death Star cannot be powered by line level alone, you could not destroy a planet with line level. It needs an external amplifier, you can buy mine

Q: Does it include a tractor beam?
A: For health and safety reasons I decided not to include a tractor beam. If you recall, it all started to go wrong for Darth Vader following the use of such a device.

Q: If I can't collect, can it fly through space to me instead?
A: That would require a pilot of considerable skill.

Q: A speaker you say? so it's NOT a moon. Do I get lots of little Storm Troopers living in it too??
A: I'm unable to disclose this information, you may be part of the Rebel Alliance.

yes i did...
just because it has a good build quality dont mean nething...
it wasnt even built specifically to the specs of the sub...
meaning, just a round enclosure = -py sounding sub!
major thing on the sound of a sub is the box design

it may look good thou

i'll definatly agree with that... it does sound like the box and port design was purely for aesthetics... but still, i'd give it a shot before counting it out

The subwoofer installed is an Alpine 12" SWS-1242D, rated at 900W peak power, 300W rms. The enclosure is filled with foam wadding and ported. The ports are vented directly out the bottom of the subwoofer. The design was modelled on WinISD to calculate the port lengths... it's proper stuff :) There are two 4mm binding posts at the back for connection to a power amplifier. I'll be adding the amplifier to e-bay as soon as I type out a description, but any amplifier will work.



bolded for your pleasure

but hey, it wasnt even built specifically to the specs of the sub... was it...

yeah, anyone can write that... but since it's pickup, no doubt the winning auctioneer would hear it before they take it away...


Why would you lie about the sound quality?!


THERES NO DELIVERY, or as was said, USA-wide UPS shipping was $500+


Next time read the auction before you make outlandish assumptions :P
