Yeah, saw your link from SIN.
That damned thing looks more like a weapon then a subwoofer. I'd love to see it with a 48" cone on it! :Q

Probably absolutely stellar.

Looks like a noise maker for Home Theater not sure Audiophiles will be snapping them up. I recall Dan Wiggins selling the shiva as the greatest sub ever but it was quite a disappointment for some who were use to better sounding subs.

Interesting enough Dan is now selling the very same subs he once critized.

no, that motor has some amazing capabilities.

and the shiva is decent now, but tempest has all you need for H/T

The tempest is ok, not that great though. Adire Audio has better subs although the price goes up considerably. I like the old siesmic system subs still there just clean and loud !

"Definitely a trick looking motor."
"mmm... An IB with one of these units might just be the trick for a new 100 seat theater, too... Anyone out there building a big home theater?"

We have a ht ricer building the damn thing. Oh btw, WTF WTH is the damn thing? A motor? Anyone care to make an explanation of wtf that thing is?

its an electromagnetic motor.

for a sub. its what pushes the surface in n out.

but yea, that sub is for infinite baffle, meaning no box to hold it, just uses the air of the room its in. (cant go into more detail, my knowledge in this are is limited)

I Googled, electromagnetic weapons and after ten minuets could not come up with a pic.

Awesome driver for a sub woofer. Governments have worked with sound weapons for years. 4 to 7.5 Hz can do negative wonders to the central nervous system.:music:

that sub that you linked nightcrawler is a sub.

is HAS NO business being in a daily driver car, but rather it is used in competition cars. but very few if any, its just a unique design. but has no benefits
