ive looked around alot and found this
http://www.ultimateavmag.com/features/7 ... ndex4.html
its similar to the one im interested in but much much smaller
they dont seem that cool after researching them but everything i have found is for home theatre models not real theatre versions
all the company sites are down or are now stupid advert sites. so i guess this idea didnt do to well
Using this information, Alton created a subwoofer -- later applying the technology to the whole range of speakers found in a cinema -- with a fluid-filled bladder to transmit sound vibrations rather than air. "Once you impact water, it's just like hitting a drum," Alton describes. "The water is in a space that is slightly under pressure in the enclosure, which then acts like a drum. We tune it for the frequency that we're after, and then it does the rest.
"If you look at the sub, there's no openings except for a small vent in the back of the speaker. You can't see it, feel it, touch it or get to it. It's under the water. What happens is that we're feeling a vibration that's actually caused by something hitting the drum of water, so it's real."
The result is a sound system that allows the audience to "Feel the Sound," as the company's tagline says, by reproducing controlled frequencies between 10 and 80 Hz, which resonate with listeners because their bodies are composed mostly of water. "[My system] allows you to turn the sound down," Alton says. "There's a big problem with the amount of volume that's in theatres. A lot of people get upset because it blasts you in the face. With my system, it gives you complete detail of everything -- the ambiance, the dynamics -- in a lower volume setting, so that you feel and you hear every detail just like you were standing beside the person instead of blasting you out.
"The subwoofer works on a low volume with vibrations. It actually could be considered to be a sonic generator because at low volume, it will shake the clothes on your body. And it's so smooth, and even the people above 65 to 70 years, they don't want to go out to a theatre and get blasted. They [don't] feel like they [are] getting intruded upon."
