Eh Dere Hi Dere Ho-ser
JACKPOT!

WhatCouldItBe.jpg


I was contacted on 06-12-2004 and given the opportunity to purchase a one of a kind subwoofer. At the time, you might remember me trying to choose between a pair of SE’s or Tempests … well, I wound up with neither, as that is a single box up there.

What could it be? Some of you have been wondering what it is for a while now. “What’s it called?” … well, it’s called an “uberwoofer”.

Before I feed you the pictures, I’d like to thank three people.

First … thanks to Mark for convincing me to get it. It’s too bad you couldn’t get one, but hey, if I’m ever up there you’ll have a listen. This makes me the only Canadian to own one. Also, the fiberglass tips are coming in handy.

Second … Josh … thanks for the driver, thanks for the receipt, thanks for shipping it to a different address. Living in Canada makes everything difficult, and I know it probably was a pain in the *** for you. I also sent my money to him nearly two months ago, so hey, apparently he does something right. Josh is ultimately responsible for this bad boy. Apparently it’s for HT use, bah … I’ll get it working just fine in-car thank you very much.

Third … Stephen … one “Made In USA” sticker would have been fine, but one in each corner works too!

Want some specs?

BL – Really high.

Fs – Low.

Qes, Qts, Qms, Vas, Sd, Cms – Who cares.

Mms – High.

Power Handling – Guess. You’re right, a lot.

Xmax – We’ll call it “lots”

Weight – Frickin’ heavy.

Now on with the pictures …

Here’s a little hint …

Going to try and get as much work done on the enclosure today … will post progress on that later.

Oh, one more thing.

I have one, and you don’t.

yeah thats one sexxy sub...whats is the cone made of?
Aluminum I believe.

hey Steve, does your baby have any relation to this http://www.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=70103 ?
Not that I know of, the BL and Xsus numbers are smaller than mine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for the comments guys.

Oh, and it appears to have an extremely small chip on the magnet ... maybe 1mm deep by only a few long ... nothing to worry about, can't even really see it. Didn't even notice it until I started petting it.

I want to go outside and make a mounting ring. But when your friend has your router and your jig-saw rides along the edge of the wood, it's not so appealing. Might get it done, we'll see.

No idea yet. Probably a BX1500D just because it's all I can afford.

Definitely screwing off the mounting ring idea for today. See if I can get some time on a bandsaw or with a router somewhere ASAP.
