So my buddy is showing me his new 10's today,
the dub1000's by audioburn.
Tells me he paid $450 for the set (ha!) at audio express or some ripoff chain store, along with some badass 2 channel amp that was stable to 1/2 ohm (also by audioburn, I can't remember the name but it was the best quality amp of theirs I've seen yet.)
Then he tells me that the subs are 'water-cooled'.
I've never heard of a water-cooled sub before,
little cheap sh*ts like duals with neon liquid to look neat, sure, but never outright weater-cooled.
Tells me that the sales guy told him that there is some connection for these subs to be literally cooled by water.
I told him the guy was full of Sh*t and that he paid way too much for the subs.
But I'm always open to the possibility of being wrong.
Anyone know of a water-cooled sub? |

Never heard of that, but sounds interesting if it's true. But, Audioburn subs blow, watercooled or not  |

Actully, water cooling a sub can be done. I'm sure you would have to rig it up yourself tho.... |

I think in some professional applications they actually use fans or blowers on the woofers or in the boxes (it's a large venue, who's going to hear it?) to keep cool air circulating in the box or actually through the woofer. I don't know how effective it really is though. |

I know bazooka makes subs that get hooked up to a "chill kit." I'm not sure if its water or not though.

Well there was no point in your post if you didn't even bother to take 1 minute for a google search and find out if they existed or not. |

Actually, the purpose/point of my post was to inform the original thread maker that there IS a water cooled sub. |

Holy sh*t, there are water cooled subs.
Thanks for the info rob, I actually googled 'water-cooled subs' and got nothing.
I was wrong. But I was half right, his audioburns aren't water-cooled.
That chill kit is a great idea if it does what it says. I wonder if you could use it for non-bazooka brand stuff... |
