Keen On Bass, just for a laugh

[snappy_snoopy]

hi,
I love the deep bad *** rumble that fills any room during an exciting movie scene or the sound of a classic song when the drums or bass guitar kicks in :D.
Although not every one (ie the misses) shares my passion, i do like to flex it every so ofter just to receive a pair of rolling eyes :rolleyes:

And just to have a little bit of fun i am calling all you bass finatics out there to send in some pics of your sub, or maybe one you would like to own. Maybe even a pic of the biggest sub you have ever seen would be cool. :)

Let see how wide my eyes (:eek:) will go....

i will start off, this is what i have: Australian designed Jensen 160W rms, brilliant little thing, 10" driver makes everything rumble and maybe even your neighbors ears explode

Greg I really like your stands, what are they?

[ParadigmDawg]

They are the Premier J series made for Paradigm. I sold them, along with the 40's last month. Here is a little better shot of them.

Those are nice wish I knew they were for sale.......

[ParadigmDawg]

I didnt know you needed them. My dealer has them listed for 350 bucks but I got them for 150.Those are nice wish I knew they were for sale.......

[jamie2112]

I need a new set for my B&W 602's. I really like the look of those.

[ParadigmDawg]

They are nice. http://www.paradigm.com/en/pdf/premier_stands.pdf

Go find a Paradigm dealer and start talking them down.

HOLY $#!t , I am your new best friend :eek:, boy oh boy my eyes did not only pop out they virtually exploded.

Man my misses would be so angry the day i show up with 4 subs, especially those beasts. She was already looking very nervous when i bought the box home from my current sub :p.

Non the less i have already put the idea of a mutlitple sub system out there, you know you have to ease them into the idea before going full monty on them :rolleyes:

Bro !!! i still cant believe it i had a second look :o, for your neighbors sake i hope they live at least 1 mile away from you :D

I also wanted to add, dude you must have a monster power bill every month after listening to that system for 2 hours while you favourite movie is playing. My power bill has gone up $30 over the last month, that is when i got into the whole home theater kit. But since its been a little cold we have also been using the heater quite alot aswell.

Hooray for power hungry subs lol

I have another unrelated question for you, it looks like you are using the PIONEER DV-490 dvd player in one of your setups, or thats what i can tell from the picture anyway. My dad has one (pretty much brand new) he only had it for 1 month and upgraded to a dvd recorder. Since i only have the dv300 from pioneer without hdmi i was wondering if you thought it was worth taking his instead of mine. Is the HDMI upscaling really worth it on that model, if so i will have to fork out for a cable thats all and i am pretty broke right now.

Just wanted a users opinion, dad does not have hdmi inputs on his lcd's so we have not had the chance to test it.

Although mike is a tough act to follow here is my beauty {next to my old JBL}. It still makes me grin and giggle while watching movies. :D

when i switched from an ordinary player to the 490v, it really did improve the pic, but i saw improvement from a 40" screen sitting 8 feet away, your mileage may vary.

i also have the newer iteration of the 490v, the 600v - it's much less buggy than the 490v and there's a also the latest iteration (which i dont have), the 610v :)

thanks for that i have purchased a hdmi cable (not a snake oil piece of S#$T either) cost me $20 NZ which is something like $12 us i think a really bargain one and lol i bet is about the same quality of about the higher grade ones especially for the dv490V player

WOW sweet,it looks like alot of people around here are using the SVS subs, i wish i could get one but shipping to new zealand is somewhat an issue especially when you consider the weight of that monster.

LOL nice setup thanks for the pics, also i know that tingle i get it too every time i wake up and pop in a cd, or watch my fav movie lol

[croseiv]

Here's mine. It sounds much larger than it looks.

LOL :p!!! Since you are like the bass guru around here got any good recommendations for good bass music just to felx the sub and show of to my mate a little ;)

'war of the worlds' (tom cruise) the movie :) but beware, it's a very crappy movie and it's been known to destroy as many subs as minds :)

Yeah i already know about the crapy part :p i was one of the poor sods that got convinced to go see it at the cinema back in the day when it came out :( i still resent that decision today :rolleyes:

Heres a couple songs that have some pretty deep bass. Since building my own subs i have really been dissaponted with the bass in most music. What might sound like it has alot of bass on a regular system, really doesnt when you play it on something that actually can play deep bass.

Eminem- Yellow Brick Road

Akon- Blown away

Jayz- Dirt off your shoulder (not throughout the entire song but theres some cool parts at 2:22 and 3:20)

I can't post pictures or links yet, but I have a Velodyne CHT-12 and am getting a SVS 20-39 PC+ on Friday.

Here's a few other songs I've found with good base:

Pretty much any song on N.E.R.D.- Seeing Sounds
Pretty much any song on Taproot- Welcome
Sonique- Feels So Good
Korn- Freak on a Leash : near the beginning is a cool base part

I really powerful sounding (drum and bass heavy, and not the techno kind) song is "The Eleventh Hour" by August Burns Red. Its metal, but it literally starts with a great sub-warmer drum riff. Sometimes I just listen to the first 20 seconds of it and switch to a different song.
