inside a masonite
drum, facing vertically, in a slot, connected to a "mercotac" contact, a
small bearing type deal that will pass the signal through to the speaker. So
there is not much torsional imbalance, if any.  My question is how does the
6 x 8 spinning in the offset drum interact sonically with the fixed downward
pointing 15" woofer???...dallas
