I'm a bit skeptical, but read about it and watch the videos. the bump tests in particular are very interesting.

looks to work similarly to the 50th ani' Vette.
Wonder how much weight it would add? -
wtf?

Uhhhhh... right.Originally posted by Matto
That's cool in the video, how it "extends" the wheel to absorb the dip in the road.

Speakers and suspensions both have one thing in common: Require dynamic analysis to develop. Both are in essence, vibrations. In this case, both are electro-mechanical systems, with control and feedback. When doing simple system analysis, a speaker is usually modelled as a linear motor -- just like the one Bose uses in their suspension.Originally posted by Matto
That said, I don't like Bose speakers... speaker building is as much an art as a science.Comment

Not similar at all. The 50th Anniv Vette uses Delphi's magnetic shocks, which have ferrous particles suspended in the shock oil. Running a current thru the oil changes the viscosity of the solution.Originally posted by kylebes1
Bose is physically replacing the typical hydraulic shock with a linear motor.Comment

I don't think the bose suspension is using springs, either.
and there is no need for sway bars, so each wheel is truly independent.Comment

It uses torsion bars for springs... just like a lot of trucks do.Originally posted by nandoComment

My girlfriend's dad worked for Bose this past year as a consultant and was telling me about this. I have no doubt that it will be exactly like all their other products: over-hyped SHIT. Bose sucks.'91 318is
