Methinks someone is having too much fun with Photoshop.
Nope, these pics are from the CES2006
http://www.realmofexcursion.com, is were I got the pics from.
Heres one more pic of the first one. It might not be the same thing. It was just right after the pic of the huge surround, and I just assumed that was the back of it.

That Boston sub is actually 13" x 9". Designed where you can get more subs side by side for SPL-esque installs. Not my cup of tea.

Yop. It's called a "Revolution." The SPl part comes by way of the replaceable VC. Again, like a 10" cut in half and then pulled apart. It's actually labled as a 12" sub, but has a surface area of 12.5"
4" of usable stroke and an 800w rms. msrp of 1g.
Found the review :happy055:

It's in the CA&E May '05 Issue. It's not a "review" per se. But rather an article on "Premium Subs with User Replaceable Parts." It breaks down the technical aspects of the Boston, PG Ti Elite, and the Lightning Storm x2. It's the issue with the Alpine X3 demo on the cover. Good issue all in all, actually.
I wasn't serious about arguing the specs. Just joshing with Jonathan a bit :)
*edit* X5 on the cover

just for the record, replaceable coils aren't something new. I had soft dome peerless tweeters in the Festiva in the 80s (Orion XTR1) with replaceable voice coils :)
the housing snapped together, you could remove the magnet, and the coil and dome were formed together and replaceable.

Indeed. All the way back to the triple OG Western Electric 728B and 755A.
