They were actually 30" SERVO DRIVERS. (I'm not
positive about the dimensions, but the servo part is
correct.) The drivers were so large that motors were
used to vibrate them. Bass dude Billy Sheehan
actually used some of these on the first Mr. Big tour.
And you thought their name referred to something
