Now, that's what I call a subwoofer...

How do you get this past your wife?

Put a doily on it?

I think that that Bruce Thigpen TRW-17 rotary infra woofer will outdo that.

When I played bass in heavy metal bands in the 80s, I used two of these bass cabinets. You could feel each note. (not my picture, found it in a search). It had Peavey's 18 inch Black Widow and two 10 inch Scorpions. I think the bass amp I used claimed to do 2000 watts. The wheels that came on it were not strong enough and had to replace them with something stronger.

Do they make them that big?

No, you have to convince her that it makes it look "cute" anyway. It's a snake oil cable salesmanship test.

Now two of these to compliment your stand mounted speakers would be nice. They could be your stands actually, neighbours would love you.

I can only get my yard to 112 DB with my windows open. I can't hear it when I am across the street in the neighbors front yard.
The complain that they have to come to my yard to hear the party.

You have better neighbours than me then. Mine complained when I was detached 20 ft and was running just 4 x 6.5"s, a pair of epos es22s to be exact. Too much boom boom boom was their words, can you turn it down I was amazed they could hear it at all. I thought that was the benefit of living detached. Not in my case it seems.

And the windows were closed

And the windows were closed

They are usually in their back yard, anyway. Most times (if I am out in the yard & my wife is not home), I just aim the speakers at various windows (which remain closed) and can hear it sort of in the background when I am doing things in the yard. The sound cannot be heard at the edges of the yard by my self or others but can be heard if you pull into my driveway & get out of your car.
Right now it's 97 degrees in the carport (a part of the house, not an add on carport) according to whatever thermometer the 2025 Subaru CrossTrek has, that is in it's usual place there. (I usually drive my 2004 Chevy SS Truck [it's configuration is supposedly good for towing 6800 lbs.], as I usually end up putting something into it's bed, or towing a trailer or some other truck type function before the day is over). The Subaru can handle loads up to 1500 lbs. (I think that is optimistic). Since I seem to always (even when I just go to visit my 91 year old mother, she will want her boat & trailer moved or something like that) end up dealing with something heavier than that, it's just better if I drive the truck to begin with.

While obviously catchy and interesting, cant really see any real world use. Even the most dedicated low end lovers seems to stop at 21 or 42 inch.

According to the article

This beast was built for seismic research, industrial labs, and the kind of audio enthusiast who thinks “practicality” is just another word for “cowardice.”

Helps for sure.

If not, there's always bribery and/or hypnosis.
Clandestine, or otherwise.
