Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / February 2006Rock tracks to show off subwoofer?
I know most people will play a bass mikanik or some hip-hop or rap sound track to show off what a subwoofer can do. but I was curious as to your rock listeners out there like to listen to or use to show off what your sub (or subs) can do (personally I listen to EVERYTHING except country) one CD I've been listening to a lto lately and the bass is done pretty well is "Frances the Mute" by The Mars Volta, it's a pretty great album, on the progressive side of rock, but the bass is great in my opinion. just curious as to what others are listening to right now -Nick Multiple AC/DC songs, especially from The Razor's Edge CD Madonna's The Immaculate Collection CD (especially Vogue) Dire Straits, Money For Nothing The Eagles, Hotel California (off of Hell Freezes Over CD) Jewel, Barcelona Various Nine Inch Nails songs Various Marilyn Manson songs Several songs off of Pink Floyd, The Wall CD Multiple Metallica songs Steve Windoood, Higher Love Oh, there's so many more, but I just wanted to get the ball rolling...

It's a single instrumental piece, just a hair over 60 minutes long. About a minute and a half in, and again about three and a half minutes in, are some insane bass notes. When I was working installing back then, we used to blow up a couple thumper twerps' rap-tuned boxes that couldn't handle anything below 60Hz.... --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Marylin Manson Mechanical Animals works well, Holywood is lighter on the low stuff though.

I have a 15" Elemental Designs sub right now in the CRX and talk about rattling the car. Great album and awesome song. > MOSFET > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>that if you aren't paying attention and have the volume too high will bust >>your subs. I went to a lyric site to be sure I had the song name right (I don't even think they mention the word "Pepper"). I did, here's the lyrics: Marky got with Sharon And Sharon got Sharice She was sharing Sharon's outlook On the topic of disease Mikey had a facial scar And Bobby was a racist They were all in love with dyin' They were doing it in Texas Tommy played piano Like a kid out in the rain Then he lost his leg in Dallas He was dancing with a train They were all in love with dyin' They were drinking from a fountain That was pouring like an avalanche Coming down the mountain I don't mind the sun sometimes The images it shows I can taste you on my lips And smell you in my clothes Cinnamon and sugary And softly spoken lies You never know just how you look Through other people's eyes Some will die in hot pursuit In fiery auto crashes Some will die in hot pursuit While sifting through my ashes Some will fall in love with life And drink it from a fountain That is pouring like an avalanche Coming down the mountain [Chorus] Another Mikey took a knife While arguing in traffic Flipper died a natural death He caught a nasty virus Then there was the ever-present Football player rapist They were all in love with dyin' They were doing it in Texas Polly caught a bullet But it only hit his leg Well it should have been a better shot And got him in the head They were all in love with dyin' They were drinking from a fountain That was pouring like an avalanche Coming down the mountain [Chorus] >> I know most people will play a bass mikanik or some hip-hop or rap sound >> track to show off what a subwoofer can do. but I was curious as to your [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > that if you aren't paying attention and have the volume too high will bust > your subs. > I went to a lyric site to be sure I had the song name right (I don't even > think they mention the word "Pepper").

I think I read somewhere this is mostly a true story. >> I know most people will play a bass mikanik or some hip-hop or rap sound >> track to show off what a subwoofer can do. but I was curious as to your rock [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >one) that if you aren't paying attention and have the volume too high >will bust your subs. My standard test track, Recycler My Heads in Mississippi, ZZ Top. This has a low 35 Hz note that is clearly strong on a system that goes low, and almost inaudible on systems that do not. greg |
