			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div style="float: left"><img src="http://www.diycable.com/main/images/product_large/692.jpg" border="0" alt="" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /></div> Home Theater Shack and Exodus Audio are teaming up to giveaway an awesome subwoofer... the massive Maelstrom-21&quot;.  The Maelstrom-21&quot; subwoofer employs an XBL^2 motor, AlCu shorting rings, and 32mm of one-way X-max (30% down point in BL curve) and 40mm one-way mechanical clearance.  The Maelstrom-21&quot; isn't just a displacement leader... the low inductance and linear motor design provide exceptional performance and sound quality as well as output.  If you want to build the ultimate subwoofer, look no further. This beast displaces serious amounts of swept volume and represents one of the most capable devices on the planet... and one lucky member at the Shack is going to win one!<br />
