Funny destruction - suggestions welcome

Oriel

Hi Folks,
I play in a covers band. At a recent gig some drunken idiot knocked over our €300 speaker and it's broken beyond repair. There is no point in selling it for parts.
Rather than dump it, we are looking to destroy it in an amusing way. We'd like suggestions as to how to do this.
Please note that we will clear up any mess created, and no damage will be inflicted onto anybody elses property, so please don't suggest this.

In Uni we destroyed really old broken PC monitors by dropping them out of a top story window into our back yard.
It was a hell of a lot of fun to do and we cleaned everything up afterwards.
There is nothing malicious about this.

So. A large active (powered) speaker. Most amusing way to destroy it - any suggestions?

P.S. May I pitch the suggestions "Yore Ma!" and "In before the close!" before anybody else does.

/edit - Also, out reasoning behind funny destruction is - some twat destroyed our equipment.
We can't get the money back from him, nor can we get it back from the pub.
So we have to get our €300 back from somewhere. This is it.
This is not encouraging a random act of violence.

rent an open back truck, put the speaker in it, and drive around dublin city with baseball bats smashing it in the back of the truck while people just stand there looking at you.

Take it to your local recycling center...

There are enough fools out there committing pointless destruction, no need for another one..

Thats hardly gonna get their 300 quid back.

You should open the unit up and encourage a family of rabbits to take up home inside. Then you can charge people 1 quid for a look at the family of rabbits living in your speaker. A heart warming story I think you'll find it is.

After you've made back your money from the rabbit family, you may drop the speaker from height (rabbits included.. or not like. Whatever.)

Yeah yeah, Bono, think of the planet and all that.
We'll do that afterwards, during the clear-up. NEXT!

We're not actually, trying to make any money, simply justify throwing what €300 used to be away...

Drench it in gasoline, then push it down a hill whilst immedialtely throwing a lighting match at it.

Rent a helicopter- and fly above the spire- place it on top mof the spire and see how long it balances for............................

Research on the internet how to make homemade explosives*. Blow the ****er up. Gratifying explosions always work!

*May not be legal lol. I am not condoning or advocating illegal activity. Just saying it would be a heck of a lot of fun.....

Blow it up using compressed air. Legal and impressive.

Commiserations on the loss of your speaker btw, I lost my nice Tapco active monitors when some skobes stole my car at the weekend

If it can still play sound, se how loud you can set it before it blows up.

Or, sing into it on Grafton Street, and have one of your mates come up, and smash the speaker to bits. If you do it this way, record it onto camera, and use it in one of your video's.

I like how this guy thinks

Fajitas!

It's too big for a microwave.

Explosives seem to be the way to go.

If you had any brains you'd just buy a new one and switch it for the broken one. Say the new one arrived broken and send it back.

Stealing from a large faceless corporation is victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.

I am in the same covers band and I am very fond of that suggestion indeed. I like your style voodoo child.

As good as blowing things up are, this is a great idea.

Take the insides out, seal it and insert tough glass or plastic. Make a great looking gold fish bowl.

Put a couple of small rubber aliens inside, and crash it from a height into a field somewhere remote like Leitrim. Take pictures and post them on the interweb on some UFO spotting site, then sit back waiting for Scully and Mulder to turn up.

Viking funeral?

Okie

Office Space anyone?

Fair enough. Your "printer" is already smashed but doesn't it look so satisfying?

If the above is not to your liking, how about you just use it as a novelty over-size Ned Kelly stylee helmet?

Mahatma coat

what do you know of Diesel oil, Nitrogen (NET Urea. s'good;)) and blasting caps?

Excellent, I could stick a "PC Load Letter" label to it.
I think it's mostly moulded plastic though, so I'm not sure if that would be as satisfying.

Black Swan

Throw a bad taste party and give the speakers a wake (following all the traditions)?

Mizu_Ger

Smash it over the head of the eejit that wrecked it in the first place!

Gasoline?

Hallowe'en is coming up. Fireworks are available and should be put to good use.

Love that scene and I've been re-enact it many a time.

I have no idea.
Fireworks are illegal, so they are not sold in shops.

I love that film too! I almost cried when I saw that first. Especially when ge goes back for more and one of the other guys holds him back, like it's a big bar fight!

make napalm, fill it, put it floating in a kids swimming pool, put a pirate flag on it and light
