Worlds Most Powerful Subwoofer

"This $13,000 subwoofer, the TRW 17 from Eminent Technology is billed as the world's most powerful due to its ability to reproduce sounds with frequencies as low as 1Hz. Typical subwoofers bottom out at 20Hz, and while the human ear can barely hear below that point, it is still possible to feel the sound. This particular woofer does not have an enclosure, instead relying on a fan-like design, wafting a cone of modulated air into the room, and effectively turning it into a resonating box, in its entirety!"

thats obscene. Looks like a good start, but from the looks of the graph, would need to be paired to with a regular speaker to recreate the full low end spectrum

wow with products that look like that its no wonder this company has been around for 22 years and this is the first time i have heard of them. If you want to sale something spend twice the money on packaging than the product. i mean look at sony x-plod. make some crap dip it in red and slap a sony sticker on it. i dont care what that thing does my girlfriend(and i) would never let that thing be anywhere but in the garage.

"If you want to hear and feel the 4-5 hertz fundamental frequency from a helicopter rotor, the low frequency rumble of wind, the space of a concert hall, or infrasonic information contained in an explosion, this is the only woofer technology available"

FINALLY!!!... i'll be able to get that infrasonic information i've been missing out on

yea ive seen the jackhammer installed on pimp my ride, they used an engine hoist to get it in and removed the whole back seat, then a steal brace mounted to the floor, and it needed 6 amps, 4 yellow top batteries and 8 capaciters for it to actually work, they also put a decibal meter in the car with a warning light when it gets to high......all this in like some unknown name oldsmobile that some kid got from his grandma, it also costs about $7500

thats what you get when a bunch of ghetto trash (no taste by definiton) actually gets their hands on money and wastes it on that crap.

I cant wait till rap dies and anyone who thinks the whole ghetto lifestyle is cool dies too.
