Matt, GET THOSE CROWN AMPS OUT!! Jeez man! And veneer isnt cheap (not as much as one would expect anyways) But still, slick lookin setup. :)

As for box type, I think this thing would be perfect for IB setups. Do a cut through on the attic, mount it to the rafters and hope you have a steel frame house :D
I'm love to see this in a hatchback car (Where cabin gain REALLY gives you a kick) in a ported box tuned to around 50 or 55 hertz with about 10,000 watts on it. SPL records here we come! ;)

Get them out where? ;) Naw, they're not collecting dust, I just don't have much use for them right now unless I swipe a pair or three of the bose 901's we have (I know, I know...) :p

It's the motor assembly ("magnet") for a speaker (subwoofer). The voice coil goes around the center pole and travels linearly along it, moving the cone.

I think my brain is melting....

I think I know how lay-people feel when I talk computers with them and their eyes glaze over...

About a year ago, I spent about two hours talking to Dan Wiggins at the Adire shop in Seattle. Smartest man I've ever spoken with. I had a look at the Koda components before they were released, and I just knew that he'd have something up his sleeve to shock the $hit out of us very soon. But i never could have imagined anything like this. That motor is abso-fvckin-lutely insane!!!! Now do I need 4 Brahma 15's or........?

And broken rear hatch windows. I have seen it, with barely 158 db.
