PV Audio's fun fact of the day!

If this goes well, maybe I'll come up with a new random audio related fact, or if not, then someone just posts a random fact that not many people know. Today's fact: driver names //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The midrange cone in your stereo is pretty obvious: it plays the range of frequencies that are in the middle of the audio spectrum. What isn't obvious is the origin of the tweeter and woofer names. The tweeter is named as such because of birds making high pitched sounds, and since a tweeter plays only high frequencies, it was given the name tweeter. Similarly, the word woofer is due to a dog's bark which is lower in frequency, and as such since a dog "woofs" when it barks, when the speaker moves, it's considered a "woofer". As seen, each is not actually a real word, but just onomatopoeia derived from animal noises.

Note that this is all true; I'm not making this stuff up. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Don't worry too much, my stuff looked very similar when I was 12. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Nowadays I give customers the option of what color scheme they wish for.

What juicy subwoofer has a Fs of 20hz and a Qts of .477? Pretty versatile, eh? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I'd be willing to bet you calculated that rather than snooping into my Photobucket account to actually see the Qts, lol.

Very versitile, indeed. REVO 15".
