April 9, 201015 yr Since when is a subwoofer not a low frequency driver? A subwoofer plays sub bass, meaning low frequencies. The Matterhorn is flat from 15-80 Hz. I'm not sure what your saying.
April 9, 201015 yr A subwoofer by definition is a low frequency driver in a box.A low frequency driver on it's own is not a subwoofer.The matterhorn is a Subwoofer that is made out of a lot of low frequency drivers.(but most people say subwoofer, but that is a misconception.)(by the way i'm from belgium, so their could be a few spelling mistakes.)

April 10, 201015 yr This is what you would call "power Hungry" ... 56 batteries (i think) ... old school strokers FTW. Those subs got stupid loud in the day, and sounded like ass doing it. I miss mine. Best $40 sub I've ever had. There's a guy hitting 152's with one jackhammer. That's not a bad number, but for the money it isn't worth it at all.

(thx for confirming this,like i said.)By definition it is, it's wriiten like that in the dictionary(or atleast in my dictionaries.) and a lot of people say this is true.But people use subwoofer because it's easier to say.(and everyone understands what they are talking about, it's kind of a term for "not knowledgeable" people)Don't think most shops will understand it if you ask for a low-freqeuncy driver.

April 10, 201015 yr Never seen one in person, but from what I've read and seen online, I would say the RE XXX 18. I think it weighs almost 80 pounds and does 2000 rms. I just ordered a BTL 18, its also rated 2000 rms and weighs around 70 pounds, I'm hoping I'll be happy with it.
April 10, 201015 yr Best sub ever made, B.A.S.S. series!! (Bad Ass Serious Sub)... yes thats what it ACTUALLY means too haha
April 11, 201015 yr I don't think a rotary woofer can hold more then 200-400 watts RMS.(but it does looks nice)
April 11, 201015 yr I don't think a rotary woofer can hold more then 200-400 watts RMS.(but it does looks nice)Yes, but it will likely do more in a room below 30hz with that 350w than any of the actual subwoofers mentioned in this thread running at their recommended power
April 12, 201015 yr I was wondering how long it would be till someone posted the Parthenon.When I first saw that I was like "WTF is that?". I did a google search for rotary woofer and have a little better understanding. Has anyone here experienced one in person?

Has anyone here experienced one in person?The Parthenon (pictured above) isn't a rotary subwoofer.....it's a standard pistonic woofer on steroids.The fan looking thing is a rotary subwoofer.....I'm not sure if you just quoted the wrong picture or not.
