Would it be too much to say that a certain fridge is very cool? The guys at Kicker headquarters have actually thought about making such words come closer to reality and have managed to create what they call the BassFridge. Now, things are just starting to get weird: we're talking about a very common, high-tech, large, double-door fridge, loaded with Kicker subwoofers and other speakers, and even more, with a nifty touch-sensitive control surface. And Kicker advertising a most bizarre "keep 'em all mixed".

Now, I really doubt that you can actually have your cocktails and other complex beverages mixed up and shaken inside the fridge, no matter how violently you could ever crank up the volume... and yet the ad's idea is hysterically funny.

I can't wait to read the blogs of those who have run amok in their kitchen while playing their fav rave hits at ear-bleeding levels just to see that their daiquiri is exactly the same as it was when they've anxiously put it inside the BassFridge!

On the more serious side, the Kicker BassFridge is quite a great piece of audio gear for the discerning music listeners' kitchens: you get dual square Kicker subwoofers and no less than four additional Kicker drivers, a no-nonsense fridge-cooled amplifier and a state-of-the-art top-drawer touchscreen which will help you finely tune your audio experience, down to minute details.

The Kicker touchscreen will let you control various parameters such as volume, treble and bass and will put you in charge of a sophisticated graphic EQ you don't get your hands on everyday. The 6 speakers are powered by the ZX 5000.4 power amp: no matter how loud you could ever decide to go in your kitchen and for how long (until someone calls 911), this power amp will never build heat. It is cooled by the very low temperatures in your BassFridge and it will run cool and in perfectly safe conditions at any time.

Now, just to get the big picture on the Kicker BassFridge, I should definitely add some details: we're dealing here with dual 12" Solo-Baric L7 subwoofers, which can go everywhere in terms of audio. And if you think that the BassFridge is a rap-oriented piece of gear destined for those driving pimped-up cars, you're so wrong. Kicker themselves think death metal is cool (and it really is): "Door alarm feature with dual purpose: thwarts midnight snackers with a blast of industrial bass from the Death Metal cut of your choice; also alerts you when that ripe tuna salad has spent one too many days in the far corners of the frozen tundra." Even though I guess that some sick death metal tune could go pretty well with the rotten fish.

In the end, I hope this isn't an April-joke, because a death metal fridge is a wonderful idea!
