If there was a way to rig it up, who else thinks these would make the best guitar amps ever?

I saw you got an extra audio driver... but is it enough to have an interrupter and a midi file to play music? Or why do you have this?

@sjm276 Electricity in Calfornia costs about 14 cents per kilowatt hour. This means that if a device uses 1kW for 1 hour then the cost of the electricity is 14 cents. Although our system here has a peak power of about 24kW, the average is much lower, perhaps 8kW. So, we are using 8kW for approximately 4 minutes. Doing the math this comes out to about 7 cents. So playing this song with these huge coils only costs 7 pennies of electricity!

Is it bad that when I see this all I can wonder is what that would do to an old tv?
