Here's one for you!
"Liquefied innards anyone? Just stand next to Richard Clark and David Navones little creation when its on full steam: a 60inch subwoofer. Heres some quick specs.
The cone moves 6 inches peak to peak under full-tilt output.
The actual cone diameter is 54 inches, with the 3 inch wide surround on the outside of that. The radiating surface area is 2,290 square inches. That yields a one way displacement of 6,871 cubic inches. That is equivalent to the displacement of 161 ten inch woofers that move 1.5 inches peak to peak.
The motor is capable of producing 6,000+ pounds of linear force, which is necessary when considering the very large surface area and displacement volume required to produce high SPL levels.
The woofer was designed with the capability to produce SPL levels of 188 dB."

This one is for you Sid.
"No, its not a fan. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the worlds most powerful subwoofer: the Eminent Tech TRW 17. Rather than your garden variety 10 or 12 inch paper cone pulsating back and forth, this subwoofer creates a wall of air as big as your living room. In other words, the entire room becomes a resonating box!
By rotating the fins and modulating the speed, frequency goes all the way down to 1Hz, the territory of jet engines, nuclear explosions and plate tectonics. By comparison, your typical sub hits 20Hz on its best day.
With a price of $12,900, the TRW 17 is for rap superstars only. Rumor has it smaller versions are in the works as well as one model specifically for cars naturally, you must present your rap superstar ID at time of purchase."Michael

Everytime I see that lil fan subwoofer...
I keep imaging those lil 3" fans that sit on top of your dresser and do basically nothing but make alot of noise because its trying so hard to actually do something...
I know its bigger, but I laugh when I see a pic of it...lol- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Exactly. There's a reason they mention the rap superstar thing. That thing will probably move a lot of air and sound like a lot of hot air.HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50 LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

Yes you know you have a serious sub when the port is a 3'x3' hole in the room's floor or ceiling.

You know you have a serious sub when it can double as a air conditioning unit...
