anyone here remember kronic audio? Their subs were made of hemp

Banana hemp, just like this one. Pressed pulp paper cones are superior.

I thought hemp was a strain of cannabis that didn't have any THC in it?

The common definition of 'hemp' is referring only to cannabis, but it applies to more plants than that in reality. Banana hemp, also known as manila hemp, is simply a natural fibrous material cultivated from a plant. These companies who are marketing 'hemp' subwoofers are playing off the common definition, while utilizing a non-cannabis related hemp material. You are merely falling into the thought process those marketing people hope/want/expect.

The saddest part is, as I stated above, common pressed pulp paper cones are better. Pressed pulp paper cones (treated), while not as glamorous as synthetics like aluminum or titanium or even carbon fiber, not as modern as poly cones, and not as exciting as 'hemp' cones, arguably still hold the greatest weight to rigidity ratio and damping qualities of any material used in modern speaker cones. There is a reason high-end top quality speakers still utilize pressed pulp paper, many many decades after they first hit the market. Poly and carbon fiber cones have their advantages, but pressed pulp paper cones really hold the most advantages. This is in regards to low to midrange freqs, as tweeters are another story altogether. Basically the higher the freq response, the better poly's and carbon fiber's advantages come into play.

Its funny, around here if you just type shit out, people say you pull it out of your ***. If you give resources to back up your info, people say you just copy/paste. Like I said before, this was old news. Maybe you just learned about it, but i didn't. Thanks for feeding my superiority complex.

Try debating politics with some of these dipshits...back up the argument with facts and they say you're a programmed robot for Rush, Glenn Beck and Fox News yet they can cut and paste total bullshit from leftist wacko websites and quote the likes of Chris Matthews and Rachel "Madcow" Madow and claim you don't know what you are talking about and have no facts to back it up. Priceless. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif
