Try out new sub

donedroolin

I know this question has been asked before probally. I am trying to find a GREAT movie that will try out my new Sub woofer. I have heard War of the worlds is hard on subs. What are your movie recomendations.

My list (based on the movies that I have and use to demo the bass in my system - in no particular order):

• War of the Worlds (DTS - Pod Emerging)
• Saving Private Ryan (DTS - Beach Landing)
• Jurassic Park (DTS - Trex stomps not that great, but the roars after it breaks out of its cage are pretty good)
• Jurassic Park III (DTS - Dino Fight)
• Transformers (final battle in the city)
• House of flying Daggers (echo dance is good surround and bass)
• Master and Commander (DTS - chapter 4, 1st sea battle)
• The incredibles - (almost pick a scene)
• Toy Story 2 - (entire first couple chapters, game sequence)
• Finding Nemo - (Darla)
• The Matrix - (lobby shootout through helicopter crashing into the building)
• Lord of the Rings, FotR - (DTS - mines of Moria)
• Lord of the Rings, TT - (DTS - battle of/for Rohan)
• Lord of the Rings, RotK - (DTS - Oliphant charge)

Most of these should give your new sub an excellent workout - we expect a review when you are done...

If still not enough:
Here are the recommendations from SVS.
Here is what AVS forums has recommended over time....
