Check out this guys subwoofers. I'm surprised that no one has tried this in a movie theatre yet..... This could all be poured right into any theatres floor behind the screen. And all of this runs off of only 12 watts per channel. Whatdya think Phil?

Holy Moly, Mark!

I think 3 things:

1) These guys have waaaay too much $$$ and time on their hands!

2) They're N2 420 and the I-30 Stuff...BIG TIME!

3) R17 should be 12k, not 10k.

JEEZE! [sex]

Finally someone has come up with actual zero-distortion speakers! What next, an actual working perpetual motion machine?

This sort of setup has been around for years. I believe it was George Lucas that was one of the first to do it at his home theatre at the Skywalker Ranch.

The Cinemaxx theater chain in Germany has done stuff somewhat like that - I think, because I only read about it but have never been to any of the locations where they did it, so I don`t know exactly what they did.

When the New York Experience opened in NYC in the early seventies they had a bass horn that was 26 ft. long and 11 ft. square at the mouth. I think they had a problem with blown drivers and replaced it with SenSurround subwoofers in the late seventies. I did see the horn on a visit there although it was no longer in use.
