cooling

if nething they are for the cooling of the speakers. kinda like when u spray nos on an intercooler. we used to have a set of subs that could be set up for water flow to cool them down so this seems realistic

uhh, another marketing scheme?

even if it does help cool the sub, it's overkill for everyday use. i can only see this working (IF it works), if people are burping their subs for SPL contests... when VC's temperature can sky-rocket. nitrious is what....-180 degrees F? a sudden freeze of the metal can weaken it. my 2 cents...

cooling.. it can dramatically increase power handling of a sub if you're not toasting the voice coils while in use. could easily be set up to open when a certain power level (i.e. voltage controlled switch) is reached on the subs so you're not using it unless you're really pumping power to it.

Overkill, IMO but if you need a way to keep them cool, that's one way to do it.

the sudden drop in temp could easily crack the woofers magnet...but thats just me. I know that people hae had suces with liquid cooling speakers but I think that s a lil too much.

i think it was designed to cool the voice coils, not the magnet themselves. still a huge overkill non-the-less

well I guess its damn stupid but I do want more info / design specs on it. It seems like MAYBE it is an impressive idea if they actually pull something like that off...

Click here for an article about a system with a custom-built liquid cooling system for the amps and sub. Very unique.
