I thought this was pretty funny... but who knows, maybe it sounds pretty good?  Anyone want to try?

That is cool...

I like the part at the end that says:

"If your speaker sounds Horrible, check:"

 :rofl:

This speaker sets the record for the most potential for modding it! You could build a huge bass reflex MDF cabinet for it with padauk or purple heart veneer, coat the foam plate in carbon fiber cloth, use 16 plates per padauk cabinet (in series,) use silver voice coil wire, upgrade to a genuine used toilet paper tube for vc. Put Sonicap platinums across the vc leads for "pristine high frequency transparency."

One thing is a pretty good idea, that is mounting it to the wall, the air behind it would be compressed on the back stroke adding to the output. Well, actually I think that's not such a good idea because the wall pressure will make the plate flex even more. nevermind.

I should just shut up and build them. If I never heard it then I don't have an opinion! hahaha

I can tell you one thing, the WAF is not gonna set a new record. It looks like trash stuck to the wall with ketchup, like college bachelor dorm days. But looks are offset by the price, right? "You can have diamonds and furs when I sell my big speakers for these, honey"

Sorry to poke fun, these are pretty dang cool!!  8)
