And I quote...

    "One of the most unusual subwoofers at CES came,         not
suprisingly, from Bazooka, with its "Bass In A         Bottle" 200 watt,
8-inch subwoofer disguised as a         nitrous oxide bottle.  The speaker,
aimed at the "tuner"     market, was inspired by the fact that many sport
compact enthusiants plave the bottles in their cars for     show without
even hooking them up, said a                     spokesman."

Shown in the article is a blue cylinder the exact size as a gas bottle,
painted blue, with a fake shutoff valve and even a sticker that mimicks the
label on a tank, right down to the triangle shaped MSDS (Material Data
Safety Sheet) labels.  You know, the ones that say hey, this here this is a
highly flammable product.

I for one would not want to be a fireman running up to an accident and
seeing what appears to be a bottle of juice in the back of the hatch...only
to find out that its a damn speaker!  Talk about unneccessary panic...
