[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 317281, member: 547749"] That's it, it's almost all plastic, the servo motor contained in the end isn't that large, so it's not that heavy either. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] It definitely needs an enclosure, it's subject to the same design considerations as a typical cone-and-voice-coil based subwoofer. It was mass produced, by Phoenix Gold. This isn't a prototype of some sort... it's an actual production driver that was for sale on the mass market for years, available through any PG dealer. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] The Vortex, on the other hand, never made it past being a Phoenix Gold prototype, I hypothesize due to disappointing Cyclone sales. Your answer to "why hasn't any other company tried to manufacture a similar type of sub?" was answered above... Scroll up and read the first part of my reply to LoneRanger... I believe there are many reasons... again, none of them related to performance. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
