Brace yourselves.. this bad boy drops to 1hz. Yes, 1hz.
Pricey, but AWESOME.
Anyone here care to build one?

I. Want. One. *drools*

I wanna hear one in action. So far all I could find were terrible examples on youtube where it just sounds like someone is hitting the wall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ2nF...eature=related

Interesting; I remember reading about these a while ago somewhere else. I also looked for some video examples, and after finding several 'demonstration videos' by various people, I have to wonder if their cameras just aren't picking up the sound correctly, because all I'm hearing is flapping panels.

Actually the human ear can only distinguish down to 20 hz. anything below that is only the sound of the air moving. so that is kinda pointless.
Man, back in the day I had some amps that would have loved to been hooked up to 2 of those!

You can FEEL lower than 20hz.
A few years ago, Phoenix Gold came out with the Cyclone subwoofer for car audio. Same idea, much smaller (and cheaper) scale.

I think this was out around 2002..?

That was the concept behind these;

I disagree. I've never actually been in a theatre that could accurately replicate the feeling of some ultra low frequency sounds. Helicopter blades are a good example.
I think that this is the kind of thing that really needs to be experienced to be judged as worth it or not. Of course, for that price it's going to be a while before I could afford one.. haha. If I get a chance to check one out (in store, demo, etc) I'll DEFINITELY do a review for everyone.
ALSO, the Buttkickers do not produce audio. A quote from their website:
"ButtKicker brand low frequency audio transducers are musically accurate, powerful, virtually indestructible and patented linear transducers, which recreate amplified audio signals in the feeling range. They are similar to loudspeakers, but instead of moving a cone, and transferring sound waves through the air, they attache to seats, floors, platforms, etc, and send low frequency sound directly into the listener's body."
No sound, just feeling. The device in the OP is a speaker capable of ultra low excursion, lower even than the buttkicker (5-200hz). As mentioned above, 1hz is ridiculously low, and rarely would be have much program information in that range, AFAIK, home theatre source materials dont even carry information that low, meaning a subsonic synthesizer would be necessary to replicate all bass material in the lower frequencies in an even lower range (ie 1 -2 octaves lower).
Practical? No. But then, when were we known for choosing something practical over something awesome?
