New type of speaker?

[Beast22k]

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could help me out. I was hanging out with my friend the other day and we got to talking about speakers and what not and he mentioned that he had seen some crazy speakers on tv a long ass time ago that were real crazy. According to what he said, you take a piece of plexiglass or something like that and you stick this thing on it and it turns the plexiglass into a speaker. He was not entirely sure that what he said was completely accurate but that was what he gathered from watching the end of the show. If anybody has any idea what he might have been talking about would you let me know what it is. Thanks.

there are things like bass shakers that can turn any flat/stiff material into a speaker by simply vibrateing it.

Ya, CBFRY uses bass shakers in his truck instead of real audio equipment.

oh you know it.




































But truely Bass Shakers are great for home audio for low end reenforcement since good drivers capeable of 15Hz extension are very expensive in most cases and consume lots of power (for home set ups) and since bass below 30Hz is mostly tactile bass shakers are a cheap alternative...but you have to be sitting in that chair that has that bass shaker to get the effect...so they arent such a great idea for entertaining geusts and amazing them with your tactile bass output.

I would think that making plexiglas vibrate would reslult in a lot of rattling
