I appreciate your zeal regarding Tool as I share it! Yes, their music has some good bass energy, but nothing that I would say really "works out" my subwoofer (Maynard's side project, Puscifer, especially on "V" is for Vagina, has some great bass notes though). Alas, Tool is not available on any streaming services, so the OP would have to access their music the old fashioned way: buy it.

Look at the bela fleck track, flight of the cosmic hippo, I like a couple tracks from the Gorillaz album, Laika Come Home. Check out Shady’s thread Subwoofer Candy if you don’t mind some electronica.

Dude Deadmau5 has a track called "something inside of me" that just wrecks it on the bass. Good song to check out if you want to test a sub

Maynard's gig with Perfect Circle Thirteenth Step that song called The Package I think I got it right that song has some killer bass and dynamics

Great album. Great mix too. APC is just great!


Untouchables by Korn has some heavy duty bottom end. Probably not OP’s style but will work!

I'm just throwing this out there, not sure if it's appropriate for testing purposes, but it shakes the house when cranked to respectable levels...
Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack "Sea Wall".

It occurs to me that pushing the infrasonic limits isn't always the best way to test a sub.:eek: I like it, don't misunderstand. ;)
A good Jazz album that I used a lot in my speaker auditions also helped me dial in my subs. Joe Lovano, From the Soul. A lot of good cuts on this album with some great performances by the whole crew. Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of frequencies, just a good clean production and mix with great musicians doing what they do best!
I just stumbled on this electronic album yesterday, colaboration between Jazz musician Karl Berger and an electronica guy Shady turned me on to, Pete Namlook. The album overall was pretty chill, not frenetic. Polytime. Tracks 1 and 3 stood out to me.
Another source to look at is the Namlook-Montana Labyrinth. Electronica, still, but more in the ambient/chill/IDM style. 5 cds long, Path I (disc 1) and Path XXI (disc3) stand out. The whole series of 5 discs is great, but these were particularly nice. Path XXI does go infrasonic, as do many others in this collaboration, but this one in particular was quite vibrational. :cool:
