They're "passive radiators", and they've been around for a long time.  You see them more in home audio than in car audio, but the theory is the same.  Think of it like a subwoofer cone with nothing attached to it - no voice coil, no motor, no magnet.  You mount the radiator in a sealed box, along with a subwoofer.  As your subwoofer cone moves out, the passive radiator "cone" moves in, and vice versa.  They allow you to pick up a little bit lower frequency extension because they mimic the effects of a slightly larger box.  The net effect is somewhere between a sealed box and a ported box.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
