New Sub on OverHaulin

Did anyone catch OverHaulin tonight? They installed a Boston Acoustics sub and it had an oval shape. They said it's peak power rating is 1000wrms and the excursion is 3" peak to peak. Is this fairly new or am I way behind on the times?
Here's a link of the sub on their site.

Their newest sub, it's 13" x 9". Purpose built for getting more of them in a smaller horizontal space for SPL reasons.

actually a good idea for space limited installs, stealth installs if you will. but how does it perform?

They didn't play it for long on the show but it looked like it had great response. I like that shape better than the square Kicker's for sure. I snagged a quick picture of the front view while it was on the boob tube.

They come with a hefty price tag too I believe. For the price of it you could do why better then that anyway. As For the shape, no to found of it.

I agree it's most likely not worth paying the hefty price for them. I made the mistake of paying too much for too little already and I would never do it again.

Well it's better to learn early then later in life.

yeah after getting my them back the 3rd time i sold them and bought 2 audiobahn high excursion 12s . . that didnt last long, because they sounded like 2 rhinos on a stampede
