Default One of the coolest sub enclosures I've ever seen

I'm out at the CES show, in Vegas. PPI brought a truck with a topper and a walk through. Now picture slot machine reels...that's what the enclosure looks like. Each 'wheel' has subs (6 I think) and they spin...the outside two spin one way, while the inner one spins the other. I have a short video that I'll try and post when I get back...its way cool.

Also saw a 350z with 5 RE 18's in it...done by a place called 813 customs, so I guess it must be in the Tampa area somewhere.

Tomorrow or Wednesday, I'm going to get a listen to the $259,000 Critical mass 5.1 setup in their 300c...the $259k is just for the audio...

I'm guessing that they used slip rings...same thing used in steering wheels. Basically a moving copper ring with stationary spring contacts touching it...like a needle on a record. +/- for a speaker would be fairly easy, as it is just two concentric rings. Older cars with steering wheel controls (before multiplexing) used to have as many as 7 concentric rings.

Didn't say I couldn't...just said I didn't have one.

Wait, let me put forth the effort this forum deserves...nope, still don't have one, and I looked in one of the 4 drawers in this desk here...oh well.
