Now, there are many big or even monstrous woofers, but there are only about 3 or 6 pairs (I don’t remember now) of these here. Not much time before Audax stopped producing drivers for the diy community they were researching new cone materials and had developed a ceramic composite cone, which never found its way into production. It’s 8 inches and its badge is HM210Q. The photos don’t justify its looks - it’s awesome.

The big MTX is almost 400lbs of pure ****. W7's price is way to high for a only decent subwoofer. Pyle makes pile of poop.

You guys should know that most car audio subwoofers are not musical at all. Actually the general vibe I get from the car audio forum here is no one has a clue what to put in a car... I mostly see topic's about the commercial crap most real car audio enthusiasts would never touch.

That is an Illusion ND12. The subwoofer has a reverse magnet. The subwoofer is also very musical and could be used in audiophile application I am sure.

The back of some 8's.

Installed in a car with the covers. They look sweet.
 
Here's one from the Allen Organ Company. It uses a single 15" driver and FOUR 15" PRs in a 15.5 cu.ft. enclosure!

Take a very close look at the active driver. It looks an awful lot like my Dayton 15DVC! (the larger dust cap makes me believe it's possibly a Dayton, not an Adire, however it could be their own design but I doubt it)

BTW, just to stay on topic, I think the Dayton 15DVC is a very good looking driver... from the front anyway. It's pretty beefy and robust looking.

They also have a smaller one with two 15" PRs...
