The Deaf Barn: 6400 Watts of What Recession??

11:40AM Mark Wilson | There are those who appreciate a good stereo, and there are those who appreciate destroying their hearing one sweet watt at a time. Todd Whitworth falls into both categories, but mostly the latter. More »

Elac MicroSub, Rubik’s Cubes Pump Out the Jams

10:45PM Mark Wilson | Subwoofers celebrate a rich history of generic, monolithic designs. So it’s straight out rude of the Elac Microsub to subvert such heritage with its Rubik’s Cube styling. Low on vibration and Bluetooth equipped for wireless connection to your favourite A2DP streaming device, the Elac MicroSub is the best that dual music and puzzle cube fans will do without building a subwoofer themselves. Oh, and it’s also available in black and white, you know, as a hat tip to soul-less audio equipment everywhere. [Elac via ShinyShiny] More »

Horn Subwoofer Takes Up Crazy Man’s Entire Basement

3:25AM Adam Frucci | While you might think you have a pretty sizable subwoofer, when it’s compared to this crazy Italian man’s subwoofer, it’s downright pathetic. That’s because he essentially converted his entire basement into one ridiculously large subwoofer.Update: OK, so this is a few years old (circa 2000), but I’d never seen it and it seems like many of you haven’t either. So I’m leaving it up, but if you are offended by things that were made a few years ago you’ve been warned. More »

Erotic Wall of Undulating Subwoofers

3:20PM Brian Lam | The North hall of CES is like a different planet. Car culture dominates geek culture here, but you still find weird things like this mini wall of 7 inch Kicker solo-baric L7 subs. They were outputting a low roar that felt like a massage or subtle brush against my skin when I leaned in close. I wouldn’t say it was erotic, but I wouldn’t say that it wasn’t erotic either. More »

Nexspeaker Sailboat Speaker System

12:20AM Mark Wilson | The Nexspeaker FS-701SW sailboat speaker system has us torn between awe and disgust. On one hand, it’s a 2.1-channel system offering stereo sound through its two, paper-thin 7.5W sails. Plus, a 15W subwoofer is cleverly housed in the boat frame itself…there’s a bit of love in this product compared to its glowy gag USB counterparts. On the other hand, it’s a speaker that looks like a sailboat. And once you buy one of these novelties, they breed. Then before you know it, you’re one of those people who wears a hat around at work and makes everyone call him “captain.” Trust us, it can get messy. $60 [product via tfts] More »
