Of course I got an AU "mystery" Bumpboxx.

I've been looking at the Bumpboxx Flare 8 for maybe four years or so, but have always been too cheap to get it because I just knew it was inferior sounding to my Aiwa Exos9 (which it is). So when Bumpboxx emailed me 60 percent off for a mystery Flare 8, I just couldn't resist. Well I was hoping I wouldn't get UT, but when I came home and saw the Auburn Tigers unit on the porch, I was like, "Fúck me!" And, yes, the idiots sent it right in the box, without an outer box or parcel wrapping.  and the mail carrier left it on the porch in broad daylight (idiot). But I digress...

As some of you should know, I am a UGA alum, so I was highly annoyed. But, I knew the deal, and I'm cheap when it comes to fully gratuitous luxury items.  Well, I immediately started thinking of a solution. I am not finished, as I have more vinyl decals coming and new speaker rings (the ones you see are covered in electrical tape---ugly orange motherfúckers). As you can see from the pics, it still has a legacy of AU (hence the additional decals coming), but I've at least got those ugly grills off.

For $160, I'd say that the speaker is worth it by the way. I'll probably have put in another $75-$100 dollars in it once I'm done. It has a few equalizer presets and the sound isn't as clear as I'd like. It's also a big, heavy submitch (try the Flare6 if you don't want to handle it), but still totally worth it.

But that's the only way I was going to get a Panthers box anyway, as Bumpboxx has no NFL license.

Keep Pounding! I am.

Is this the thing Deebo Samuel walked out with? 

Yep it's a Bumpboxx (though not a Flare8). They've stopped selling some models. That's an old V3S, I believe. The Uprock was stupid big. The Flare8 is big enough.

I'm officially old. I don't get it. Congratulations if this is cool and awesome. Now excuse me there are some kids about to walk in my yard...not on my watch. 

If you're old enough to not know what a boombox is, I'm surprised you're able to use a computer, or still be on this side of the grass.

Looks like it's a bluetooth boombox with an avg. $399.99 retail value: https://bumpboxx.com/

So if I'm picking up what the OP is putting down, he stickered over an Auburn one with Panthers insignias?

Seems like it could be a fun tailgate piece I suppose, but not putting that in my house haha. 

...but I'm a more minimalist prick/audiophile, I only trust certain brands when it comes to any form of audio purchase (headsets, speakers, studio monitors, players, preamps, etc.).  And it has to have a clean, timeless design.  

Fun stuff though I suppose.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
