[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 317079, member: 547749"] LOL.. you are probably right, you'd also end up saying "why am I taxing my electrical system with this 1000 watt amp, when this thing does even more with 250 watts!" [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif[/IMG] If you were interested in doing something to the effect of fabricating your own, you don't need to do a rotary version... I chose to simply because I want to explore it.. there's only ONE that's ever been marketed, the Cyclone! I want to see if I can push it in the [I]other[/I] direction... Cyclone is a SQ sub.. but with such SPL capabilities as is, I wanted to see if I could expolit that side of Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Cyclone... ServoDrive builds primarily servo subs using a single motor (identical to the ones I am using, minus the "tachometer" devices mine have), to which a rotary-to-linear motion converter is attached - and ServoDrive's design is [I]very[/I] good for that, and patented also, I believe.. but a simple cam or swing-arm device could be more easily fabricated - and used to drive a pair of large cones, facing away from each other. Check it out, they used to have pics on their site before it was redesigned... I'm sure they are still there somewhere on [URL="http://www.servodrive.com."]http://www.servodrive.com.[/URL] There was also a website "The ContraBass Corner" that was dedicated to enthusiasts who wished to pursue building one of these, which was very good, but it seems to have disappeared into cyberspace... It had great technical articles, a link to a Tom Danley whitepaper that simply described all the ins and outs, really good. Anyone who can find the site - possibly it has been rehosted somewhere (I'm optimistic) - PLEASE post a link to the new location! My fear is that it's sadly gone.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
