lol...I guess you're gonna be showing those babies off (yes, he made more than one :Q) for a while, eh? I'm actually thinking about picking up a quick DIY kit for some superELFs to replace my quints as surrounds and center. (stupid matching center and surrounds are gonna set me back another 1000 eventually)

As for bass...if you really want to test out your sub and know it's real limits, using the command line in foobar, create frequency tests starting at 50->40->30->25->20->??? How low do you really think yours will go?

Song wise...hard to say. Lots of my music has heavy bass...I guess Ministry of Sound is a good one. D&B tracks are great for punchy bass too.

> ummmm....they dont have a bass player

Even so, that song has a lot of bass (as in low-frequency sounds) in it. It sounds good on system with a powerful subwoofer. Just my 2 cents.

The two songs I use:

Daz Dillinger - My System
Billy Joel - River of Dreams

The first one just has low and loud bass throughout the whole song. The words are pretty worthless. The second song has a very low, very quick bass line throughout the song. Most subs will make it sound like one big blur, mixing all the notes together. Your better subs will allow you to distinguish the notes.

And in case you care, I have a Brahma 12

If you're into the metal stuff, Fear Factory - Obsolete is a pretty good album on subs. I wouldn't reccomend running 15's cuz the guy's double-kick is like a machine gun and your sub will be sloppy as hell.

No it won't. If it comes from a crappy company that uses the same motor on their 15 as they do on their 8, then yes, it will be. But a 15 from any of your reputable companies will sound fine.

NWA with Easy E - Boys n tha Hood

Dat's Ol' school!

Korn - Got the life
Bizkit = l@m3, but loud.

Pretty much any hip-hop or rap will be a workout for your sub.

- M4H

Do yourself a favor and get this song

UFO! - Enemy Infiltration

trust me

 

[IEatChildren]

Portishead - Numb

The beat's not too loud, but the bass is very nice. It's trip-hop, but the not-so-rap kind. Very smooth bass and vocals.

If you're trying to punch a hole through the wall with your sub, then most Prodigy songs should do the trick.

KLF

It's either the Blue Room or the White Room. I forget. Awesome bass in some songs.

Edit: Rick Astley's dance songs like Never gonna give you up also have pretty good bass.
