Yamaha Subkick Microphone

Is it a microphone, a speaker, or a drum? Is it all three?

Has anyone here tried the Yamaha Subkick microphone? I was a bit surprised to find it had a 9 Ohm impedance. I thought that perhaps it might have a special wound voice coil with a higher impedance. The pickup device/diaphragm is a 6.5 inches in diameter. I wonder about a DIY version of something like this using a Tang Band bamboo cone (light but stiff) full-ranger. Is that plausible?
