i think i have gone off the deep end

goingganzo

maybe it is a ib and the subs have to do all the work. or maybe if i put in ear plugs. or buld a bigger theater. my next theater will be around 18-22 by 25-34 i havent decided on lay out. eather dual rows of 6-7 seats or 3 rows of 5.

I'd never be able to find 12-14 people that would share my love of that much great bass.:D Especially if any of them were females.:rolleyes: I have been asked to "turn it down" on my Dual Shivas at times.:D

goingganzo

every time i do a upgrade i am told that wont work. then i do it and everyone is in awe. i figure there is just about nothing under 50k in a sub with will keep up in performance of my soon to be new sub

Update please....

Maybe he killed himself with bass.

Dude.....that entire floor of the house is one big subwoofer. I think you're risking some serious intestinal damage or something...not to mention hearing. Prolonged exposure to high dB's in the sub 20Hz range is like staring at the sun during an eclipse...it doesn't look as bright but will still burn your retinas. God help you, but do it anyway just to say you did.

well i have about 1 hour in listning to the sub. it is great and powerfull. very clean and sounds great. the bass has power and drive it hits you even at low levels. also the bass is very clean and defined. i will never need a bigger sub. unless i go insane from the bass. all your bass belongs to me

I noticed my bass was kind of lax lately....

That explains it...

Looking GREAT man

goingganzo

i was playing with test tones today. i put on a 10 hz tone and turned it up a bit. the problem is i am using a ss filter at 16 hz but i mesured 90 db @10 hz it was insane. i have a f3 of 14 hz

jdhdiggs

Man Gonzo, Niklas Nord at AVS one upped you.. He's using 16 15" JBL drivers in his room... Time to fire back?

RuSsMaN

I think before Ganzo builds any more subs, he really needs to get hooked on phonics, and drop the cookie-monster speak.

Cheers,

hoosier21

any problem with those all to one side, I mean I feel my sub (any of them I have had that is) off to one side, I can only imagine what you must be getting to your right side with those 18"s.

VERY cool IB by the way

goingganzo

at olny 500 wats rms and olny 3 hours now on the subs. i will amit the sub is a bit over the top. the olny way to get everything out of my sub i will need ear plugs and some more insurance in the house. i bet i would have been happy with 2 18 but it has the look.

jdhdiggs

Please turn off the sub while typing, the jittery finger posts are hard to read.

goingganzo

well i did my first dammage with my sub. i knocked a glass liqur flask out of a cabanet on the wall behind the sub. i had bass invaders lost in bass playing.

boltaction

uh, what happens if you bottom out your sub?

RuSsMaN

I don't think he can. I think the structure of his house will fail before the subs bottom.

Hardcore.

I mean literally. What happens if any Subwoofer in the world bottoms out? Is it damaged or does it sound really bad for a split second?

As opposed to distortion where the sub is still very loud and rumbly just not very accurate.

When it bottoms, all rumble stops (think of putting your hand on a tuning fork and stopping the vibration) and there is a loud clacking noise. It will really scare the hell out of you.

It can damage your sub and for sure is not good for it. I think it just depends on how hard it bottoms and the quality of the sub you are starting with. Most subs can survive bottoming once or twice. If it happens often, your woofer is not long for this world. (last part is all imo)
