Nothing too special.

Just a subwoofer in a down-firing spherical enclosure.

Having a spherical enclosure doesn't really have any benefits.

I think it looks pretty cool. with the shell being carbon fiber. I think if you put that in an import that has alot of carbon fiber it would go really well.

Definitely interesting though. I wuldnt buy one but thought it was kinda different.

Except standing waves in subbass are completely a non-issue //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Subbass wavelengths are far too long for standing waves within the [comparatively] tiny enclosure to be an problem.

I thought it was a home audio sub at first. I think its odd someone would put that in their car.

bingo.

Was his name-o!

But I agree with what someone said...looks like it would be much more at home in a home than a car.
