Another thing that baffles me is, Why did the PG Cyclone die?
It seemed to be an amazing break through in sub design which I expected everyone to copy in there own flashy way!!!
Either I am missing out on something here or was the world was not ready for such a change?

AFAIK it had a lot of motor noise and couldn't play above 40-50hz very well. When it came out there weren't too many mids that could play that low with authority, which would make blending it into a system somewhat of a hassle. Nowadays, with some improvements, I have a feeling that it definitely could catch on.
It is a neat design though, very efficient and an easy 10 on the "cool" factor.

Well now I'm more informed. Maybe someday they will put it back on the drawing board. Thanks for the info.
In addition we have subs now that can handle a lot more power and have far more displacement than subs back when the cyclone was released, car audio has always been about getting the most bass from the smallest space and the cyclone needs a lot of space behind it to work efficiently.
The cyclone design is actually more suitable for Home theater use than car IMHO.
