Super Mario Brothers subwoofer brings the bass, mushrooms

What's better than experiencing the bowel-shaking, wall-rumbling, thunderous bass of a custom made subwoofer? Why, having that bass emanate from perfect replicas of the "question mark" and brick blocks from Super Mario Brothers, (thus making it the perfect thing to play back your recordings of the SMB Tesla coil), of course. According to the owner, the subs sound great, but the low-end gets a little muddy whenever the question mark gets turned into a metal plate.

[Thanks, Michael]

The pleo really looks different since the prototype.

Whats the specs of the sub? Passive?Active?W????

[CowboyGA @ Jul 20th 2007 9:50AM]

'cause that's the purpose of the story? Stick whatever sub you want in it. I'm more concered with how he got the bricks to look so exact and professional.

Looks like an Adire shiva, a nice little diy sub.

Passive, check out the speaker wire inputs. Wait, you have to go to the flickr page, click on the pic.

I'm a few years out of the game but shouldn't there be a port for air? Without a port the woofer can't travel! I'm guessing that it actually sounds like crap.

[kryptocaine @ Jul 20th 2007 3:08PM]

Actually, it's sharper and more accurate with a sealed box. An open box is more efficient though, so the crappy woofers are ported.

[fistpittingnork @ Jul 20th 2007 3:25PM]

Actually, sealed speaker boxes, in theory, are desgined to produce a much tighter sound, they're more space efficient, too, but require more power to compensate for the pressure gain/loss inside the box.

Thanks, guys. Like I said, I'm out of the loop. Had to get rid of 'the system' when I was paring down for marriage - paid for the ring! I don't have to say that that was a few years ago.

That is awesome... I must say, I want one of those.
