The Most Absurd Pro Items Now Sold For Cars!
In proper, actual, stadium-filling professional audio sound reinforcement, you get devices called Compression Drivers. These are damn great saucers of diaphragm, held in a vice like grip inside a damn great magnet assembly that can range from quite a small apple-size to the size of a melon. More modern compression drivers are the shape of stubby flying saucers and they all can be identified as pro items (rather than stuff you sell to lads with mobile discos) by their use the same standard just over one-inch throat.
This ‘˜throat’ is the hole the sound comes out of. Only ever seen in in-car before as small SQ devices on the end of cute asymmetrical horns by Altec Lansing and lightweight Piezo-electric devices by Motorola, never before have we seen something this bonkers for car use, even including the new Vibe in-car P.A. derived kit. These are real 250w 8 Ohm pro jobs.
