# Boisterous Big Bass Speakers The Giant Speaker Was Created at the University of Wisconsin By Trenton Millar | Published 2012-10-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-speaker References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2012/10/09/think-that-12-inch-subwoofer-is-badass-try-6-feet-on-for-size) & [ludoislabs](http://www.ludoislabs.com/Giant_Speaker.html) If the bigger the speaker is, the better, then a team of engineering students at the [University of Wisconsin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingertrak) have created one of the best speakers in the world with their project, aptly called the Giant Speaker. This [massive sub-woofer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audac) was created with a cone that is 6 feet in diameter for just $600. The limited budget did affect the quality of the materials that were used for the speaker, but I think we can agree that the speaker is more about novelty than sound quality. When the team tested out the Giant Speaker, they found out that the resonant frequency of the building was 7Hz. Others in the building were aware of the discovery as well, and responded with both high-fives and complaints. The Giant Speaker is not for sale, so the question is, when are they having a party and, more importantly, can I come? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Giant Speakers:** There is a growing trend for creating massive sub-woofers with extraordinary sizes and features. - **Innovative Materials:** The use of inexpensive materials in speaker manufacturing opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the audio industry. - **Novelty Speaker Designs:** There is an emerging trend of designing speakers that prioritize novelty and unique aesthetics over sound quality. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** The creation of giant speakers presents an opportunity for manufacturers to cater to the demand for larger and more immersive audio experiences. - **Consumer Electronics:** The trend of using innovative materials in speaker production can disrupt the consumer electronics industry by providing affordable yet high-quality audio products. - **Event Planning and Entertainment:** The popularity of novelty speaker designs offers event planners an opportunity to incorporate unique audiovisual experiences into their offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Loud Oval-Structured Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicboom-speaker.md) - [9-Drive Tower-Like Party Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/srsvx900.md) - [Precise Portable Dynamic Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperboom-speaker.md) - [Extravagant Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcs15k-center-channel-loudspeaker.md) - [Dynamic Home Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sounds-speaker.md) - [Accessible Audiophile Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-bass-speaker.md) - [Powerful Portable Party Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperboom.md) - [Oversized Living Space Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klipsch-jubilee-floorstanding-speaker.md) - [Oversized Headphone-Inspired Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlabs-blue-xl.md)
