Anticipation is driving me mad.

Ha! Yes, that's the plan. I'm hoping for mad dee beez.  Actually two are being used for a new IB system in my home theater. I just thought there was no better place than a car audio forum to post a picture of one of these monsters and maybe one of our resident bass heads will figure out how to squeeze a couple into a Civic. ------------- Support the12volt.com

With that much surface area and that much swept volume, you should get really deep and really loud with incredible sound quality. How much power are you going to be running to them?
You run IB main speakers in your home as well, correct?

OB actually, 4-way system with dipole Shiva's in stereo. The Maelstroms will go in the ceiling, with a plan to cross them below about 45Hz, powered with 1KW each. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Actually, it JUST happens that the two LATs that I am assembling for my car actually has the same Sd, at 1640cm! :) Sure, you're spanking the swept area by a little better than 3:1... EACH, but who's counting? LOL
Dammit, Dave... Why you ALWAYS gotta steal my thunder...?  (My car *IS* about one one-hundredth the volume of your living room, though! Small consolation there...)
It's comforting to know that others share my disease! Those are Fan-Freakin'-Tastic! ------------- It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

IB, OB, just as long as they don't get hit with a BB. ;)
I run my Tempest at around 42 Hz and down and let my towers take care of the rest too. This means that I don't really hear the Tempest. I just feel it.
Once you get yours up and running, you will have to take the new Lord of the Rings Blue-rays for a ride. Just let the US Geological Survey know ahead of time so they don't issue an earthquake warning.
