I stumbled across this thread about a pair of 24" sub woofers that Jim Salk built. You have to see the photos. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=4i5j84gb79gicdb2vmc0e7v2h2&topic=147878.0#msg1582010

I assume the new owner has the appropriate 'audiophile grade' forklifts .

The driver looks like it might be the Stereo Integrity BHS-24. The plate amp cut-out looks like it was made for the Speaker Power higher-end SP models. Not to take away from Jim Salk's achievement, but this sub is like what Deep Sea Sound is doing. The Deep Sea Sound subs are pretty amazing.

Marianna subs don't come in piano finish

Piano finish? They probably come in piano crates!

Dave Gage of Deep Sea Sound is flexible. I would be surprised if he couldn't deliver one in piano gloss.

Gorgeous! I sure wouldn't want to move those around...

 

[MR.MAGOO]

just looking at them gives me a hernia!

 

[Brian King]

Jim, could you build a pair for my Yugo?

 

[Bucknekked]

I assume the woman in the beauty shot for the subs is not the wife of the home owner who will install them. She is still smiling.

These qualify for any bar room or party "mines bigger than yours" argument. The thread is aptly titled.
I shall have to share that URL with my sons. They are still impressed by stuff like this. Sigh. So am I.

LOL but imagine the grin on the husband's face! Not to be sexist....could be the wife's grinning and the husband is not into it (hey, it could happen ).

The woman posing with the two subs is Mary Salk, Jim Salk's delightful wife.

I'll wager that Mrs. Salk is smiling because the customer/new owner's check just cleared...

 

[Swerd]

Jim, could you build a pair for my Yugo?

You know, if you put a pair of those in the back of your Yugo, it will lift the front wheels off the road. You'll need four per Yugo.

I couldn't resist .

 

[Brian King]

Quad surround? Very retro.

 

[Irvrobinson]

Ha! And my colleagues think I'm a pessimist? Imagine, someone thought they needed a *pair* of these things.

The only way I could see a single sub like this working, is if the vehicle is a forklift. Make that an audiophile-grade forklift.

I just laugh because somebody had a big enough pair to ask for these in the first place
