Try 0 dB levels on your amplifier!

Cheers!

after listening/feeling that i feel sick...does that happen to anyone else?

 

[MDE]

Ok, dunno what it was worth, but it did shake the house pretty well .

Give me a couple more hours and I'll check it out.

This is awesome.....

To mess with the people in my apt complex! It's almost impossible to tell where it is coming from!

on edit: I have the logitech z560's

This will determine your absolute maximum output capabilities immediately. When a LF amp clips, the speaker immediately emits a different sound often much higher in frequency. If your speaker's suspension cannot control the physical excursion properly at the lower frequencies, the limits of travel may be reached with similar results. Either way, once you determine this level, you can adjust your LF amp level to match so even when your master volume is at 0 dB you don't have to worry about the low end blowing up.

With extremely loud setups and earspeakers, it is possible to disrupt normal body functions so if you feel tired or nauseated after playing this STOP! You can actually sh!t yourself!

I can generate all kinds of tests including SD (sudden death) ones however I will NOT post those!

For PC users, one must remember that not all sound cards are not capable of single digit sinewave output!

Cheers!

This would be a good torture chamber for Saddam! Hitched to a dozen or more of these nifty 25kW water cooled transistor amps, his head should blow off like last year's 18,000 volt furby test!

Cheers!

How can you mount speakers in some of those holes where their edges are right along the center corner of the box?

I don't think the holes are for speakers.

I could be wrong though.

That's inner bracing for the box, those holes are just weight reduction/vents/polyfill holders

Wait wait wait. So you're telling me that the "brown note" does exist and that episode of South Park wasn't full of it? :Q

In theory, it's two tones, one at around 13Hz and one at 5hz (or so), played at extremely high dB. In practice, who knows... few subwoofers can create meaningful 5hz tones.

You wont be finding a stereo that will make you sh!t yourself.
