Lemme guess- coming from Dell? Perhaps made by Panasonic? Probably sold out? and about four inches thick?

Not a TV, though good guess. I think the monster 73" Mitsubishi is around that weight.

Not from Dell, not from Panasonic. Plasmas are about 100 lbs or less.



This is shipped weight, so there's packing materials...

I'd say some kind of speaker, bigass sub. He already has his visual stuff, so it has to be something on the other end of the spectrum.


Seats?

Popcorn maker?

pop machine?

ummm...new shelving system?

That would make the packing materials some 260 (?) pounds... and didn't they rule that it was illegal to ship people in boxes?

I am very intrigued. It was shipped from right in my backyard, as I work in Akron, OH. Hmm...now what type of stuff is sold or manufactured in this area....

The first thing that comes to mind is Tires...Goodyear and Firestone are big in the area.

So ya gonna give us a clue at all Apex?!?!

Actually, I am now thinking that this could very well be Theater style seating. You know, the bling-bling style like everyone on Mtv Cribs has in their far-less-superior-than-Apex style home theater.

Make and model? For some reason I don't think anybody's going to guess it.

I'm guessing it's the Monster Reference Power Source amp or whatever it is.
