Dual 8" drivers makes it roughly equivalent to an ~11" driver. Full size subs are 12" to 16". So, done right, this baby sub will have the range of a semi-full size sub?

Certainly an interesting product. If I ever decided to remove full-size speakers and PC12 sub from the living room to change the audio / aesthetics balance, this could be of real interest.
