110dB @ 19.1 hz

ancientpimp

hey folks, just testing and wanting to say that this is the first time i'ved heard and experienced this low of a bass

eyeball jiggling, vision blurring, pressurizing your lungs n jaw dropping subsonic assault in a 20x30x8 classroom (12 12" phoenix gold in a sealed enclosure tuned at 35 hz if i can recall correctly [subs not broken in yet])
a bass generator? was used where our teacher kept changing the frequency (it hit 122.5dB @ 35hz) it might not be that impressive but this is in a huge classroom (2 quality 12" in a car can easily duplicate it)
anyhu, the bad part about it is it only made me more concerned that theres only a few ht sub out there that can probably duplicate or at least hit 20hz and lower....oh well, testing done:D

That must been fun. I watched Mythbusters this weekend and they had a sub audio array powed by , gee I don't remember how many watts, but I think they started the testing at 7 HZ at about 110db. You should have seen all those subs flexing their muscle and of course they had Adam in the Array of wolfers to see if they could hit the "Brown Tone". That's a frequency so low and loud that if subjected to it for a period of time, is supposed to make your "Pants go Brown". Myth busted but they have him stand in the array of drivers as they drove arond 1500 watts or more in frequency sweeps from about 20 to 100 CPS and thats when he felt it the most. OH, the 20 to 100 test tones were played about 150 db. See if you can catch it next time, it was interesting.

Must've been some experience, for sure! I can't really imagine what 19.1Hz is like, much less at 110db! :eek:

i think the frequency their trying to achieve is around 3-5hz. i've heard that in some country their military has a huge horn loaded transducer that has enough power that when aimed at a crowd (for crowd control obviously,lol)
it affects either the Fs of the human body or maybe brain neurons something like that and it causes people to collapse. on the other hand i watched myth busters today and they made a 51" subwoofer connected to the transmission of the car that it was in and it hit 161dB at , get this, 16hz:eek: before it ripped itself apart (their aim was to blow the car or at least hte windshield apart) it blew the sunroof of its hinges tho, rendering their objective a failure

You should be next to one of those ground pounders in SPL competitions when they hit 160+ db! You can feel the ground shaking thru your feet not to mention feeling the rumbling thru your guts! Its a wild feeling!
