![]() ![]() Once again, the UE engineers have gone total Tardis on the speaker, fitting much more inside than it seems possible. Maybe now you see the source of my space amazement. If you tone down the woofers, the car stereo speakers and the UE HYPERBOOM speakers are close cousins. So why talk about that car? Basically, the UE HYPERBOOM has nearly the same speaker set up as my old VW. That bug rattled both back and front trunks. Add some crossovers, an amp, and a terrible cassette deck, and you had all you needed to give your neighbors more bass than they bargained for. #UE BOOM SPEAKER COSTCO INSTALL#Though the components were low quality, I was able to install a pair of dome tweeters in the doors, two 4.5” round speakers in the back seat area, and dual 10” woofers in the back. Switch to one-piece windows? Upgrade! Add a stinger exhaust? Upgrade! Build a custom stereo system to blast Eric B and Rakim? BIG UPGRADE! Sure, it was twenty years old at the time, but that was actually an advantage in my mind as it meant that anything that I did to the car was an upgrade. My first car was a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. To give you some reference for my awe, let me tell you a bit of a story. Well, they have basically done it again, fitting the wide into the wee. I wanted to start with the cutaway diagram of the UE HYPERBOOM, because honestly, it’s madness in there! I mentioned above how the UE engineers consistently put big sound in small spaces. The question now becomes, what can they do with a large space? For the past few years, Ultimate Ears engineers have bent the rules of reality by packing big sound into small speaker spaces. Sure, the profile is one point to ponder, but the second is the sound. Have I hammered on the large theme enough? Actually, I think that there are multiple largenesses that need to be explored. Which fish in the image below represents the UE HYPERBOOM? It's the Jupiter of planets. In the spirit of our current online education systems, here is a little online quiz. If it was part of a nesting doll set, the HYPERBOOM is the outer, all encompassing doll. The thing is though, the UE HYPERBOOM really seemed like an apex speaker. Granted, that is a strange thought to think about a speaker. Examples include polar bears, lions, crocodiles, and orcas. Unlike some other predators, it’s never preyed upon itself. In the natural sciences, an apex predator is a predator that exists at the very top of the food chain. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, here is a quick assist: “Apex predator” was the phrase that came to mind when I first saw the ads for the new UE HYPERBOOM speaker. ![]()
