My stereo at the time had only a mono sub out, but I wanted true stereo subs. I found out how to convert speaker level to line level, and now I have stereo subs. Not only is the music better with channel separation, it also serves to even out room response. Cost was a few bucks for a decent rca jack and a couple resistors.

1. A few decades ago I got sick of not having a remote on my old Marantz receiver. I grabbed one of those extension handle light bulb changers. Worked like a charm (with a bit of tweaking).
2. Just yesterday I needed to raise my DVR. Found 4 orange juice bottle caps and 4 racquetballs. It got me wondering if this could be used to actually dampen vibration (or would the opposite occur)?
