Short synopsis: Michael J. Fox comes into Doc Brown's lab (which has a
massive power amp and aprox. 6' diameter speaker!) and plugs in his
guitar. A quick twist of the volume knob to maximum, a short pause and
he hits a power chord -- at which time the speaker blows out the front
of the cabinet, knocking MJF across the room and generally knocking
everything in the room over... funny scene.

BTW, I design high performance speakers as a hobby. I'm an electronics
consultant/EE doing mostly embedded controller design, but audio is my
first love. I wish I had more time to work on some new designs.
