First time I saw a cone sewn together, I knew we have arrived.
SA12, $250 street price
HST 12 (Stereo Integrity) $700 limited production . This one is designed for a sealed .6 ft3!

edit: I designed an aluminum enclosure but I can’t afford to get it built. It can fire up, down, sideways, or any orientation suspended.
It includes a 1/4” NPT for pressure gauge / regulator.

I just got thru helping a buddy of mine build an Infinite baffle sub using 2 of these 18" subwoofer. Driving them w a Behringer NX3000D and they absolutely make house shaking clean bass of magnificent proportions. I'm considering selling my 2 boxed subs to build one of these in my house.

The design is incredibly simple....Just a box w the 2 subs mounted on either side w 1 side open to the room mounted in the ceiling, the back side of the subs are exposed to the attic space.

Now we’re talking, thank you.
I’m just now learning about open baffles and horns. Great time to love stereo.

Yeah I'd love to do that but my house just isn't suited to it....

Dr. Hsu once said you can never have too much subwoofer. But even he may have met his match with this thing. My issue with this would be what if could do to the structure of your dwelling? LOL

By rotating the fins and modulating the speed, frequency goes all the way down to 1Hz, the territory of jet engines, nuclear explosions and plate tectonics. By comparison, your typical sub hits 20Hz on its best day.

I dream of reinforced cinderblock construction and rotary subwoofers...
