I'm surprised that no one has tried this in a movie theatre yet..... This could all be poured right into any theatres floor behind the screen. And all of this runs off of only 12 watts per channel. Whatdya think Phil? http://www.royaldevice.com/custom3.htm Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-01-2004 04:07 PM                  Holy Moly, Mark! I think 3 things: 1) These guys have waaaay too much $$$ and time on their hands! 2) They're N2 420 and the I-30 Stuff...BIG TIME! 3) R17 should be 12k, not 10k.

I believe it was George Lucas that was one of the first to do it at his home theatre at the Skywalker Ranch.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I think they had a problem with blown drivers and replaced it with SenSurround subwoofers in the late seventies. I did see the horn on a visit there although it was no longer in use.  |  IP: Logged
