Did you guys see this thing

Adires is better :P  lol.

this woofer may be the first of its kind to produce enough spl to actually shatter the car's windows.     Did anybody see the movie "singles" about the grundge lifestyle in seattle back in the early 90's?    There was this classic scene where Matt Dillon tries to impress his girlfriend with a new stereo for her car.    He brings her out, hits start on the radio's remote control, and all the windows blow out.    I laughed so hard.

You must have missed the thread showing the Parthenon working.  Here's the link to the video: http://www.woofervids.com/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=0  I didn't attatch the cone we have for it though.  But the cone functions perfectly.  This thing has so much linear excursion (7 inches peak to peak) that it doesn't need an enclosure.  It is the worlds first true dipole driver as it can produce 121 dB (reference levels) of output at 20 Hz running free air like that.  The year we showed the Parthenon, Resonant Engineering built one up using our motor and suspension with an air bearing on the edge of their cone.  It looked like a big fish tank, but it worked.  They also showed a 6" version that had some huge throw.  Those were their XMX drivers.  That is one way to do the surround to add an enclosure.  We are also experimenting with some other ideas as well.  We are a technology company and will always have solutions for the crazy problems we create.
