I don't think they will. Good question though.

i doubt it. is this the new thing now? ...there was a thread over at termpro about T3 coming out with something this size...whats goin on?

ia supposably released a 21" woofer along with some other new "death penalty"(LOL) series woofers this past weekend. whats wierd about it is the 12,15,18,and 21 ALL have the same size voice coils! lol thats funny. if i made a 21 inch sub i would not let my other little subs have the same power handling as that beast. so basically it seems to me that they are making it just to have the biggest sub around because it certainly wont be the baddest. just a push-over to have more cone area w/o power handling of a larger sub. imo fi will continue with what it has because they are smart enough to realize that size doesnt always matter (even though i have their largest subs lolz). thats my input i was just curious of you guys! thanks lots

Power handling means squat, and it certainly doesn't make something the "baddest" (whatever that means).

There are 6.5" midbasses that have 3" coils, and 18" woofers that have 3" coils. It's all just a question of what the intended market and application of the speaker is, and what the designer is looking to get out of it.

So so few people would be able to use the 21" sub.

Jim, I love you.

[damonhargroves07 0]

some people ask why 21" well from what i read i guess they do that cuz its equivalent to 2 15" subs in cone area (sd)

So so few people would be able to use the 21" sub.

The home theater IB crowd would be all over it if the parameters were right. And we don't even need a 3" voice coil. 2" would be fine since we don't use more than a few hundred watts per sub.

x2.

I don't think a 21" sub is even worth making..

If you have deep pockets, whatever you want can be made.

It all depends on how much money you want to spend .

That sounds like custom btls to me

I agree completely with the h/t crowd thing, but I can see where it would be great to put some of these in a car for show factor.

Sounds like this might be along the lines of that MTX joke, the JackHammer.

[topgun 262]

This is just a guess, but if it comes from IA, it won't be a joke.
