How To Get A $17,000 Home Theater Makeover

by Aaron Emerson

Ever wanted to “Pimp Your Home Theater”?

Now may be your perfect chance to use your current setups lackluster to get that blockbuster setup you’ve always dreamed of.

Boston Acoustics and Denon Electronics have teamed up and announced “The Ultimate Home Theater Makeover”. The idea is for entrants to make a video showing how badly their “home theater” needs an upgrade and one lucky winner will be chosen to receive a makeover featuring electronics, furniture and installation worth more than $17,000.

If you want to win, you’re going to need a good video. Judging from the competition, some people are willing to go pretty far to win this contest. This guy actually threw some of his equipment off his roof to the death it deserved.

You don’t have to destroy your current components to win, however. All participants automatically receive a $10 Circuit City gift card just for entering. Not a bad deal! Good luck to any of my readers and be sure to share your video and/or prize info with us.

You can enter your video, take a makeover quiz and see prizes and other videos here.
