A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers

Boy that sounds like live music to me.

10 Hz almost has to be a test tone. Even large pipe organs don't go much, if any, below 16 Hz. What would be the point of recording sounds that low anyways? The percentage of people that actually have equipment to reproduce it is a small subset of the already small subset of audiophiles.

Just don't move to my neighborhood. WE have big guns, and know how to use them.

Enough so that I know that it can crack concrete and after playing with it a while i genuinely have realized this has the potential if unleashed to destroy a house.

And another unsubstantiated 'urban myth' gets disseminated on the Internet.

Hi I did the first post, I realized after I posted that while the test tone was the first Eye-catcher er Ear-catcher was the test tone.

I then threw on E-40 (Local Bay Area Rapper) and turned the amp to my speakers off to see what it could do, go figure it wasnt coming in loud at the beginning so all of a sudden its truned up higher and a peak hits and it scared the hell out of me. I know what I heard (The sub can go a lot louder! it was at 30% internal volume and my preamp was at 9 or 10 oclock ). I just figured I can control myself but a friend with a few drinks in him who doesnt know whats what and all of a sudden your walls dont fall down but little cracks open up allowing drafts in the house maybe who knows. I just didnt realize

In response to kurt
I have noticed a large upgrade (Velodyne HGS-12 to HGS-18) In all types of music I listen to so far both electric and acoustic. Far more than I could have anticipated. I am actually on a side note for the first time ever listening to my electronica CD's I had lying around and you need a HUGE Sub to appreciate it.

As far as rap shows go, The ones I have been to have been about as Black and white as it gets. Some have good setups and actually are setup pretty decent for what it is. Others just dont care when the woofer start what I would call farting. But I would believe that running that high of power and having that large an area to fill you would have to be going sub 20HZ, at all the good shows its good and deep. At the bad ones just dont go grab a girl in the parking lot walking out whos already tipsy and save your ears literally. KRS-ONE Is the only consistent rapper worth seeing and he actually does a good number of free shows for charity each year

Your my kinda people, I like space between me and my neighbors anyway

It really is amazing what it does for everything there is a form of connectedness I have not felt in my system before and my HGS-12 is no slouch. To all the non believers and just thinking its louder, I wasnt expecting it be any louder buying it (Ok I did but thats not why I got it) I bought it because that low deep bass is such an amazing luxury to get to experience and it connects you so well to the music. It is a whole different and far better experience and I say this owning a pair of Focal Utopia 11" Subwoofers (In 2002 were the fastest subs ever made to the best of my knowledge and might still be) which offer so much more speed and I dont care, The depth is just awesome!
