Check this out....

Just talked to a gentleman that owns a 4' wide woofer made by (gasp!)
Panasonic in the late 1950's. No, I don't mean the box is 4' wide....
THE WOOFER IS 4' WIDE. it has 8 magnets on it. Made by Panasonic for the two guys that started Radio Shack (???). It has an Aluminum frame and no, I'm not making this up.

Say What????????


4 foot wide ? .........................


I don't have a photo yet, but hope to get one soon.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing ?

The man owns 4 PAIRS OF KLIPSHORNS.......

And more rare JBL and Altec speakers and equipment than I can imagine.........

Some came from Yankee Stadium.

He's even got a pair of custom made Altec cabinets similar to a 211 but with 4 woofers in each box. NOT two 211's bolted together........ but with 4 15" woofers in each cabinet.



Woah.........
