But in concept, the idea of using otherwise wasted space (ie. under the usual floor) is not a bad one - even if it was implememted in the extreme in this case.

At some point in the future I intend to convert another part of my basement into a larger (but still not very large) home theatre. I want to have a riser / stage across the front of the room, and risers for seating at the middle / back. I doodled out some plans a while back that would allow me to use the volume of the risers as subwoofer cabinets. And interestingly enough, my plan is to build these out of concrete blocks - and to use a horn configuration. Basically what these guys did - but on a much smaller (and sane) scale.

Sometimes the "crazy" can become "the inspirational."
