Sounds like a lot of background noise.....

So you put that thing in the attic? And then everyone in the house is thumping along to bass while someone watches a movie in one room?

It's an IB setup, so you have some different options for where to put it, but yeah, and attic would work.

I don't think you have much of a choice for the rest of the house hearing it if you're trying to get 110dB levels no matter what sub you end up using

Interesting... the whole concept makes perfect sense. It's a variable pitch blade coupled to a constant RPM motor. This technology has been around in aircraft for decades. Basically the blades of the prop rotate to take a "bigger bite" out of the air. On the C-130, the props can reverse entirely so the plane can back up under its own power!

Since a speaker is more or less just an air pump that rapidly changes the air pressure in a room to produce sound (ever wonder what it's called Sound Pressure Level??)... then why can't it be done with a variable pitch fan that adjusts the prop blades according to a certain frequenty to alter the air pressure inside an otherwise semi-sealed room by flowing extra air either into.. or out of the room through a ductwork system??

Ever notice how an almost closed door will slam shut in a room when the A/C kicks on?? This setup would be VERY loosely akin to the A/C kicking on and off 20 times per second or so.

I like it!! :thumbsup:
