Stroker 2 is now the Tru sub i guess, and that big DD is supposedly 160lbs, you have to support the motor, and they are still trying to find a cone that will hold up

Fujitsu Ten builds decks for RF. Fujitsu Ten also happens to be Eclipse's parent company. That being said, aside from some casual appearance cues, an RF deck is not an Eclipse nor vice versa.

The RF changer was supposed to utilize a cartridge, not direct load like a Nak. From what I heard, RF was having problems manufacturing a cartridge that was robust enough for their purposes. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Also, when Nak developed their second generation of MusicBank they sold manufacturing rights to the first generation to whoever wanted to step up.

The original Rockford Symmetry. Well, I guess it was indeed on the market but extremely few ever got put into a car. Alot of the expansion boards they advertised for it never happened though. And that old Phoenix Gold motor-operated subwoofer that used two 15" cones facing each other, linked together with a shaft that connected to an a/c motor. Not the Cyclone but the other one. Can't remember the name. I saw it in CA&E's "New Machines" though as it was supposed to hit the market but did not.

As I recall, the Phoenix woofer was a rebadged Servodrive unit like the kind that Micheal Jackson and others use in concert.
