Sorry, guess I was thinking the 3 foot cylinder would hold it all.

Tim,
you know Ive been thinking. (yeah I know thats dangerous). But ol Doc Brown said that it takes 1.1 JIGAWATTS to fire one Flux capacitor, So I am guessing you're gonna hafta call the boys at Oakridge and let them in on the day that testing is going on.

Are you goin to run the two flux's in series or parallel? I think in series would give you plenty of Flux to capacitate through the moon rock but you are goin to have to modify your...... Oh crap the black hecalopters are buzzing the house again

Oh, don't worry, I know people at Oak Ridge...I didn't tell you all about the nuclear power I needed, because I got that part covered...

And FYI, it's going to take 4 MEAGJIGAWATTS to do what I want it to...

I've already got one flux capacitor laying around the house somewhere, so I'm going to run two parallel to the one I already have....

Come to think about it, we might need 3 rolls of duct tape...

One more thing...The device I'm going to make has nothing to do with the stereos...but trust me, it's gonna be cool as hell...

I think we should just hire some crack heads to take of the stereos...

If you run them in series you'll triple the voltage thus cutting the wattage requirement by a factor of 3.

Sereiously, you might have a word with your local cops. There are a lot of
sound limit laws, just because of folks like this.

It sounds as if you don't want to confront them, and that may be a good idea.

Possibly you could arrange to notify the cops when things are loud. Then they could just 'happen' to cruise by.

Take a microwave apart and aim the microwave ray gun at the stereo!! Actually LAPD is working on this type of thing!! Take apart the ray gun those magnets are super strong they will give you some serious blood blisters if you let them snap together!! A serious linear on a cb doesn't have to be close to do damage either, I knew a guy who could set off the alarms at banks and business's just by keying up within a couple of hundred feet!! He could light up flourescent bulbs a quite few feet away!!
