i used to work for circuit city's answer city line.
there was one night i answered a call. a guy on the other end wanted some assistance on connecting his dolby pro-logic receiver. so we begin, he tells me his hookup, when i asked him to test of course things didnt sound off. so i go into my troubleshooting mode, asked what type of speakers he had. uh oh. he informs me they were in his garage, and he clipped the ends off. i said what did the end look like. he goes to tell me it was a rca plug...real old speakers. so i have to inform him his speakers are not rated and will be blown if connect to that stereo, i told him he need 8 ohm speakers and those speakers were probably 4 ohm. oh he had a brilliant idea....since i spliced the ends...can i stick it the electric socked to boost it up to 8 ohms.....my first instict was for him to "go ahead", i'll hold on. but i couldnt do that.....so i explained to him, that he needed to return to the store and purchase some more modern speakers.....
we had a good laugh at the call center
