AUDIO SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING SOUND ON PERSONAL WATERCRAFT AND OTHER RECREATIONAL VEHICLES

摘要

Disclosed herein is a personal watercraft that includes a hull including a deflectable panel having an interior surface and an exterior surface, an audio source for generating an audio signal, and an audio tactile transducer mounted to the interior surface of the deflectable panel. The audio tactile transducer includes a transducer enclosure, an audio generating device within the transducer enclosure, and an audio input for transmitting the audio signal from the audio source to the audio generating device. The audio generating device is configured to vibrate the deflectable panel based upon the audio signal in order to generate audible sound emanating from the exterior surface of the deflectable panel. The personal watercraft also includes a protective outer shell surrounding the transducer enclosure.
