honestly big subs like that are a novelty item and actually kinda impractical and dumb - why use a substance like strontium ferrite when you can use neodynium that will hold a STRONGER magnetic charge at 10% of the weight. Considering this sub is supposed to be for those who have money to throw away - you'd think the cost of neodynium wouldnt matter if they were REALLY targeting that group which they aren't....

Secondarily, try mounting that in a verticle baffle LOL! And God forbid you got your fingers caught between it and a horizontal baffle....can you say amputated? lol

But having one for free would be fun...lol

How about the Adire Parthenon?

The Parthenon. The ultimate loudspeaker driver. More excursion, more output, higher power handling than any driver on the face of the earth. A true 82mm one way linear stroke (nearly 6.5 inches peak to peak linear), and a radiating surface greater than three 18" subwoofers allows the Parthenon to generate the highest SPL levels ever achieved by a single driver (more output than eighteen high end 18" drivers)
Here's a picture of the motor assembly:



They build the sub when you buy it - if you can spare $5,000-$8,000 for one sub.

If you're talking about the 15" kickpanels, It won best sounding car in the world. An award was made just for that car. Earl Zausmer owned it at the time. Over $10,000 in wiring alone from an article I have from years ago.

If it's the MTX Jackhammer, then yes I agree.

A few companies made huge "things" like that. Just the fact that it's 320 LBS. is amazing.

I saw the name Royal Device, and I knew it was the one that was built into the floor.
