    Default Need help finding a Driver

    Saw this in a movie once. Anybody know where to find one? Already tried Google, but nothing over 30 inches. Would 3/4 mdf be okay? Any bracing? Ports? Amp size?

    Thanks for looking.

    Uhhh, that was a gag woofer otherwise known as a movie prop.

    the biggest woofer I've ever seen was in a Mythbusters episode driven directly from the drive shaft of a Mercedes Benz.

    I think Marty McFly was banned, but Doc is still a forum member. Try and PM him to see where bought it. I also think you'll need a Class F Flux Capacitor based amp to push it.

    ...and that would have been AWESOME if they had used a spider and other suspension components to control cone motion. Even with the ultra simple motor design, they hit what? 160 db at infrasonic frequencies?

    Bill Gates and I bought the last two Imperial Walkers form "Vader", and he had a set of those in each for low end. They worked well but we had to upgrade the electrical system on the Walkers. He liked them but did not have the time to uninstall the system when he sold them.
