  • Patent number: 11601737
    Abstract: A subwoofer that is enclosed in a housing adapted for tool-less installation and removal on a watercraft using cam-latch mounts on existing vendor mounting locations or on included custom mounting plates. The watercraft subwoofer system includes a waterproof signal and power connector with no tools necessary to connect or disconnect. The down-firing subwoofer acoustically couples the subwoofer to the hollow vehicle hull and increases bass. The enclosure has a passive acoustic radiator to provide increased bass response and pressure equalization when hitting the water or momentarily submerged. The enclosure has marine lights on the rear-facing side. The enclosure also has a one-way pressure valve to release pressure if hitting water at high speeds and becoming submerged. An anti-slip mat is provided on the top of the enclosure to reduce the likelihood of a rider slipping off the rear of the watercraft. Various enclosure shapes may be used.

  • Patent number: 7764807
    Abstract: A speaker support system, adapted to prevent destructive resonance between a speaker and a speaker cabinet, comprising a vibration damper, a vibration transferer, and a connector. The speaker support prevents primary-mode resonance from building up to damaging levels in a speaker cabinet. The vibration damper damps sound vibrations that are passing from a speaker into a speaker cabinet. The vibration damper is tuned to not resonate at any resonant frequency of the speaker cabinet. The vibration transferer transfers sound vibrations from the vibration damper to a vibration sink, which is preferably a portion of the speaker cabinet that is remote from the vibration damper. Preferably, the vibration transferer comprises a metal rod. The connector fixedly connects the vibration transferer to the vibration sink. The vibration transferer is tuned to not resonate at any resonant frequency of the speaker cabinet.

  • Patent number: 7566226
    Abstract: An adjustable terminal is disclosed having a plurality of electrical contacts electrically coupled between a corresponding number of pair-wise electrically-coupled input terminals and output terminals. A plurality of mechanically coupled jumpers are operable to pair-wise jump the electrical contacts to reconfigure the adjustable terminal variously for bi-amplifier output, parallel output, and series output at said output terminals. A housing is disclosed having support for the electrical contacts and for the jumpers, as well as labels for inputs, outputs, and current configuration. The jumpers may be mounted to a slider card that is movable between three positions to provide terminal reconfiguration.
