There might be, the Mythbuster's way. They removed all the seats and converted the interior of the car into one giant, upward facing, speaker. Very cool episode.

Bill, tgo

My Bass player and I finally got a chance to verbally discuss and dissect the woofer. We are currently writing Adam and Jamie because we feel their design was flawed, causing the speaker cone to oscillate with the drive shaft (note how the edges of the cone move back and forth) and not correctly reproducing the linear in and out motion of a speaker.

So, that in addition to welding the sunroof closed, would produce a more accurate result. In our opinions anyway.

It was surprising to realize that, since Adam and Jamie have observed up close how speakers move at low frequencies (The Brown Note episode with John Meyer).

Check here for John Meyer's comments on the Brown Note episode.

Well, it seems that many people felt the same about the design flaws of the subwoofer. Maybe we'll get a revisit!

The Mythbusters have done work with Meyer sound (Duck Quack, Brown note, and Shattered Crystal), and also have done some stuff at KPFA. Seems there is a 2nd degree of separation from Grateful Dead, Alembic family there.

Look what I found, the Mica cabinet! What's next, the Meyer guitar? LOL just kidding but here is the link.
