Need more sound? Try 10 subwoofers

Enough with the carping. We've been complaining recently about speakers with designs that are uninspired or downright boring. You'll be thankful to know that there's one that has finally shut us up (however briefly).

The "Dodecasub" from Elemental Designs bears an impressive form that matches its unique name. This beast has a dodecagon casing (that's a 12-sided polygon, for those of us who failed geometry) and boasts 10 subwoofers measuring 10 inches each that can blast 600 watts apiece--or, as Audio Junkies puts it more graphically, enough to "leave you feeling a little violated." On second thought, maybe they were talking about the $2,500 price tag.

Actually its not a dodecagon

Its casing if actually a dodecahedron: a 12 sided 3-dimensional object made up entirely of 12 equilateral pentagons. A dodecagon is a 2-dimensional shape with 12 sides.

Dodecahedron

Twelve sides, each side is a pentagon.<br /><br />Violated is one word. The first one built broke the drywall in the room it was tested in.

Bucky Fuller would be proud...

...deaf, perhaps (after the demonstration)...but damned proud.
