In my teens/early 20s, I had an acquaintance try to sell me a car amplifier from Orion. Those things were beasts back in the early 1990s. He brought me to his car but before he opened his trunk, I asked him if it was 'hot'. Of course he said no and proceeded to open his trunk and show me. I took a 2 second look and said, yep, it's 'hot' alright. The dudes cut off the RCA leads right at the amp with the RCA connectors still attached to the amplifier :D I literally could not stop laughing.
