Chances are, your laptop’s internal speaker system is on the lower side of shite. Even laptops with good internal speakers can’t compare with a pair of dedicated external speakers. The Edifier MP300 Plus are some of the better looking portable laptop speakers on the market, and at $99 aren’t too expensive either. More »
The new FPS10 subwoofer from Audiovox / Acoustic Research features a flat design that stands in stark opposition to the big and bulky subwoofers we are used to. At 31.5″w x 4.5″h x 15.2″d, the FPS10 is lean enough to be hidden under a couch or behind an entertainment cabinet. It also features 225WRMS, a 900W dynamic peak 10″ with a 12-inch passive radiator, and a two-way state-aware RF remote control. The only question is, how would a flat subwoofer like this sound?

We’ve been playing too much Mass Effect, but these Sputnik Subwoofers look like mounted turrets that shoot lasers at you. Instead of lasers, these ceiling-dangling units shoot sound; deep, deep sound. Inside is a 12-inch passive subwoofer that can handle 1000 watts of continuous power directly at your face, provided your face is in its line of sight. Looks deadly, sounds deadly, and goes perfectly with the Venus loudspeakers from Everything But the Box to make a Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker themed living room. If we weren’t poor as balls, we’d pick up one of these for $US2950. [Audio Junkies] More »
When you’re trying to picture how loud this 180.5db subwoofer that set the world record for the loudest sound for a single sub is, you can’t picture jet planes or chainsaws or firecrackers. No, you need to go a bit higher—into the realm of atomic bombs and nuclear disasters. So yes, this Digital Designs 9918Z 18-inch subwoofer that’s powered from four Stetsom KD amps at 26,000 watts is a rolling nuclear explosion when it crunks down your street. That’ll show the kids (and the old man with the heart condition) who’s boss. [Audio Junkies] More »

Clover Moore, Lord Mayer of Sydney, has spoken out about the use of subwoofers in apartments due to complaints of doof-doof-related illness.
“She says the low frequency noise caused vibrations and sensations within her body beyond the noise levels themselves, and that she suffered a series of associated health concerns including heart palpitations, nausea and vomiting, and inflammation of skin and other organs,” she said.
This Super Mario Bros. subwoofer combines two good things to make an even better thing. If it was for sale and I didn’t care about my apartment looking like a virgintorium, I’d buy one. Unfortunately, it’s a homemade project and I’m not living above my parent’s garage. But if I was! What adventures I would have, believe you me! [Flickr via Geekologie] More »
