Eminent Tech TRW 17The Eminent Tech TRW 17 is supposedly the most powerful subwoofer on the planet. And no, I won’t comment on the fact that the thing looks like a fan.

From the Sonic Flare review of the Eminent Tech TRW 17 subwoofer:

Before you ask, yes, the picture above is correct — what appears to be industrial bathroom fan is actually an “infrasonic” driver. The trick is instead of a paper cone pulsating back and forth, the TRW 17 creates a gigantic cone of air with the fins swiveling to modulate frequency. And whereas traditional subwoofers compress the air inside of a box to create the deep bass, the TRW 17 compresses a different box…your entire freakin room. A smooth $12,900 is what the patented Eminent TRW 17 will sell for (they’re not on sale yet). Also, you don’t want to actually have the TRW 17 in your main listening room (otherwise your head will explode like the guy in the Simpsons THX trailer). A professional installer has to wire the TRW 17 into your attic or basement, thus creating The World’s Largest Subwoofer.
