Nope, it's one of my speakers.

One of my many hobbies is building speakers - all of mine are products of my own deranged mind, including my sub that hits down to 16 Hz. (Not bad for a single dual-coil 10" driver in a 6th-order bandpass box.) That 5-gallon pail (which is really 3.5 gallons, same diameter but about 6 inches shorter) is partially full of acoustic batting (which looks like poly fiberfill) and has a triax 6x9 in it. Sound quality's surprisingly good (on par with a lot of bookshelf speakers), and it survived my swept-sine tests at 130W RMS.
