PROFESSOR: It sounds
kind of crazy,

2
00:00:01,698 --> 00:00:03,810
but I did actually
start building speakers

3
00:00:03,810 --> 00:00:06,390
when I was in high school.

4
00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:08,946
I helped a couple of
friends build subwoofers,

5
00:00:08,946 --> 00:00:10,320
because the
subwoofers are really

6
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,390
easy and fun thing to build--

7
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:14,150
to get started with.

8
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:17,400
And around 10th grade, I decided
that I wanted a stereo system

9
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,970
really cheaply,
so I found a kit.

10
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:23,970
You know, you buy all the
parts from speakers in one box,

11
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:25,440
and I built it.

12
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,520
And then I got into
building better amplifiers

13
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,390
and modifying the speakers.

14
00:00:31,390 --> 00:00:33,780
And it turns out that the
original project, that

15
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:36,600
kit that I built in
10th grade, those

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,360
are still the speakers
that I use today.

17
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,151
They're completely
different on the inside,

18
00:00:40,151 --> 00:00:41,250
but they're still there.

19
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:45,690
So it's amazing how what
I started five years ago

20
00:00:45,690 --> 00:00:49,210
is basically still with me.
