"the dorkiest shape in existence"

"Not only is it a ridiculous subwoofer, with ten speakers angled in different directions, but it's shaped like a 12-sided die. Yes, it's the dorkiest shape in existence, thanks to Dungeons & Dragons. Whether or not you love or hate this thing should say a lot about how many girls you talked to in high school."

Heh.

There were more girls that played D&D in my high school than guys.

And that thing would be better as a d20 so you could put a hat of d02 on it!

My problem is that my acoustic engineering classes say this should fail from a design standpoint. The rear field distortion (caused by the wrap-around of the bass from a speaker) on this baby should mean this thing sounds like crap. 6000W is awesome, but if it sounds like two cups and a string, what's the point?

This one goes to eleven!

Won't it cause lots on Maximum and minimum points of amplitude (forgotten the correct terminology). Is that really a problem?

Precisely! Very nice. Not only that, but your frequency build-ups are going to cause a total harmonic distortion (Thd) well above the industry excepted standard of .05%, at least if they are going to be pushing the power that is supposed to be coming out of those blocks.

I love the comments on that...all three of them.

Nice when you agree with yourself.... twice
