HA HA check these out

^ its not a sub. no magnet thus no depth.

so from what i understand of this if you have one sub you mount this on top of it like a sub grill almost and it increases the air movment/spl. what kinda numbers would you be lookin at adding one of those?

oh...whats a good sub for a single cab with somewhat of a shallow mounting depth so it doesnt bottom out in the enclosure? i have two audiobahn 10" high excursions behind my bench seat in my noma in a custom box i made and they hit pretty good. but i need something to go in my ranger where the space is more limited behind buckets

NO it does NOT mount like a sub grille.

It mounts like a second sub. It is passive, meaning it uses the same acoustic suspension as the active sub next to it (1 combined chamber).

It is not a sub- you cannot use it by itself in a box for a singlecab truck you still have to use the active boston sub with it which if I remember right is about 6.5" to 7" deep so the box still has to be deep enough for the active sub. It has the same cone/surround/spider (suspension) as the active sub but does not have the motor structure behind it.

No, whoever said that you mount it on top of the actual sub is dead wrong. You cut a hole and mount it just as you would a normal subwoofer. In a common chamber enclosure, the active subwoofer causes the passive radiator to resonate as it (the sub) produces sound, there by extending the amount of output a single subwoofer can produce.

you guys are audio 's

i want them how much are they and can u mount them facing the back of a pickup since i dont know how to make a ported box or do they have to face you

* Super wide edge surround 1.75" in diameter.
* Flat diaphragm with a total diameter of 12" or 15" - including surround.
* Mounting depth 1.75".
* Required space clearance for forward and backward excursions 3.5" in each direction.

Earthquake's symmetrically loaded passive radiator - SLAPS is designed to produce maximum bass
from a shallow space. As its name indicates, the SLAPS integrates identical components in its suspension. The structure itself is made of a custom designed aluminum ring. the ring carries, on each of its sides, a one-piece flat diaphragm with a super wide edge surround; the diaphragms on both sides are identical in structure, hence perfectly symmetrical resistance to inward and outward movement. The diaphragms are spaced 1" using a weighted solid ring for tuning purpose. The SLAPS-12 excursion exceeds 2.5" in each direction.

Earthquake's symmetrically loaded passive radiator allows the user to tune an enclosure - very low, without having to increase the enclosure volume. The SLAPS can be widely used in car as well as in home audio applications; wherever subwoofers are needed to be tuned at low frequency, without increasing the enclosure volume, and without the need to deal with the traditional shortcomings of port tuning such as: port noise, port length and availability.
Typical passive radiator designs greatly suffer from non-linear forward and backward excursions; its forward movement inhabits different resistance from its reverse movement due to spider limitation, thus making its response inaccurate. Further, a typical passive radiator is built using speaker basket that is 4" to 5" deep, making its application more cumbersome than practical.

As its name indicates, the Earthquake SLAPS integrates identical components in its suspension structure, thus making its forward / backward movement identical -linear. Its symmetry is further enhanced by the use of flat diaphragms with super wide edge surrounds, making its excursions in excess of 2.5". The ring structure has a depth of 1.75", thus making the SLAPS applicable in shallower spaces (enclosures)

Earthquake manufactures products for the car and home audio markets, most of which are geared toward high power applications and bass. In car audio competition circles, SPL is "the name of
the game". Bass freaks scramble to add a dB or two to their audio systems; using the SLAPS is a sure way to achieve the goal. In home audio applications, especially with the advances in Home Theater systems, low bass is a must to complete the circle. The SLAPS can be used to tune
subwoofer enclosures to attain the desired results

who cares about the arguments now..they are dicontinued, probably sucked ass..

That sure was worth a post......
