s that would b cool, or even a data xfer. Swamp I bet the echo sounds inside the tomb are wicked!

Watchin The Day The Earth Stood Still, -15dB master -2dB sub, good stuff!

9 def has <15Hz



Also, you may want to include Batman Begins. Has strong content to 2Hz.

Yep, the past CoD had some great bass.
The .50 Cal fully auto was awesome.
There is something nice about the fact that instead of playing a recording of explosions and bullets, you making them instead.

I bet Gran Turismo 5 has some good low stuff, I would imagine that one of the cammed out big block V8 American muscle cars sound great.

With the right setup I bet you could check the freq ranges in games.
PS3 > Receiver > LR (or sub) Out > Input to mixer/preamp etc > Computer > Spec lab etc.
I would imagine though that the HDMI out would sound the best.
Though You could go analog out on the PS3 as well as HDMI out, that would get you a decent idea, but I bet it cuts way higher than 5hz, but I could be wrong.


I watched 9 on Blu-Ray once.
I had no idea what I was in for.
It has Amazing bass and visuals. That movie is definitely reference quality.
I need to go watch it again, I suppose I will have to borrow it again.

HOLY COW! Look at that 5Hz!

Thanks Bosso. There was Dark Nite and 2 other BM movies yesterday but at the last second I didnt grab them.

Watching Serenity now. It is perfect. At first at the normal -15dB and sub -4dB the mains were too loud and the subs had room to go. I dropped down to -17dB and subs 0dB, think I might bump up to +1 or +2 kinda scared, but this is a good subsonic flick as well!

I keep saying I dont need a HP cuz I only bottom above tuning. Its a fib. Serenity is friggen AWESOME, I bumped the sub up from 0 to +2. Mistake. I bottomed. I dropped the master down further to -18dB cuz its just recoreded hot, and dropped the subs back down to -2dB, I got headroom again and its wicked.

Thank you all for contributing to this list, its already paid off, and even more thanks to you guys that take the time to take snapshots for us! Back to Serenity with the fam.

I re-started Serenity several times today as things came up, and, I had already seen it a couple years ago. When the fam got home we started it and they liked it, but she was tired and fell asleep so he hopped on the computer, so I popped it out and threw in Inception. I can go back and finish Serenity later.

Inception starts off right into the single digits! Looks like a good psycothriller too, but its about dinnertime.
post #127 of 561
Yeah that initial part of the Serenity atmosphere re-entry scene is visceral, almost scary...my neck tenses up and my brow raises, it gets the heart going All from volume and sound, nothing scary in the scene.

Edit: Oh, and I saw the movie first too, it is actually the end of the "Firefly" tv series. I went back and purchased the firefly dvd set with no regrets.

One of the greatest travesties in tv history is that Firefly was cancelled before it could even reach a second season, much less the third or fourth it deserved.

Apparently the Bungie guys were fans as well--all of the recent Halo games have either featured voice actors from the show, or make cameo appearances (and drop some funny lines. Like 'Jayne' saying "Say hello to Vera!"--the name of his favorite gun in the show). Great sound overall in the Halo franchise, largely thanks to Marty, but sadly not really much in the bass dept.

From what I remember others saying he has some pretty insane recordings. Fireworks and Space shuttle launch and others. I am not sure where to get some of these recordings but others like Bossabass, Maxmercy and others know where to find them. Here is the Space shuttle launch

http://www.archive.org/details/Launc...MissionSts-123

I know when I build my new subs here in about a month I will be trying to get some of these recordings to see how I do.

And after reading about Inception I think I will have to go out and buy it. How was the movie on your system?


awesome recording! that was a lot of fun, just barely kissed the back plate!

Batman begins(scarecrows voice 2hz), Open range(deep gunshots and thunder scenes), 30 days of night(paper, rock and scissors scene), The Fountain(not much but some infra), Matrix revolution(neo and agent smith fight), Blade 2(sun rises up scene and some others), Ghost in the shell:innocence(lots of deep stuff), The Invasion(nicole kindman's character got infection scene), Letter from ivo jima(deep explosions), The Shooter(Napalm explosion), Ninja Assassin(ninja raises from shadows 10-20hz stuff), The Expendaples(stallone's hand gun 12hz shots),Pirates of caribbean:At worlds end(lots of 10-40hz bass), Slumdog Millionaire(some deep scenes)

You may want to take these movies out:
Final fantasy:spirits within(not much bass under 20hz)
The frighteners(big bass scenes are in 30-40hz area, though its very strong in there, not much under 20hz)
Darkness Falls(it have some bass to 10hz, but again big bass is 20-40hz)
Terminator salvation(couple 10-15hz bass scenes in weak level, stronger bass starts in 18hz(harvester foot stomps)

Same with the PC version of Bad Company 2. Set the audio to "war tapes" and sit back! Wowzers!

Just finished Serenity. Wonderful. Starting at chapter 15 is a treat. Could someone run a spec shot of the opening to chapter 14, the very low, very subtle rumble the ship makes? I am learning quickly my obsession with <15Hz. Above 15Hz is audible, when you get below any possibility of hearing but high levels none the less, the feeling is amazing, and I don't mean bass shaker feeling, the actual feeling of true air pressure and waves. The 7Hz tone from Fringe: Amber is similar to the bursts in the opening of chapter 14, it is the ultimate for me. Chapter 15 is full of similar frequency but it is combined with so much BOOOM.

Also, when i started Inception last nite I was a little tickled at the window flex in the movie at around 4:40, An explosion outside makes the window move. How do they do that? set off real explosions for the effects, or tie a string to the wndow LOL.

Anyway, again, thank you all for your contributions here. The majority of my entertainment and pleasure from movies is the 15Hz on down, if I did not have my subs and amps and giant towers, I wouldnt want my TV, receiver,my surrounds, blureys, BR player, bleechers, lights...it truely ALL is for <15Hz.

I need to remove Knowing as well. Wonderful movie, awesome LFE, but does not have what I am specifying. Also, I must ask, I love WOTWs but I got a lot more 15Hz down from Serenity, Xmen Origines Wolverine, and The Incredible Hulk. Sure I have to turn the subs down more for WOTWs cuz it's recorded hotter, but theres a difference between HAVING a LOT of that content, and simply having some of it but recorded louder. Turn your subs up for the other movies and there is so much more of it throughout the whole movie and its just as loud.

That one I'd have to disagree with... there's at least extension to 15Hz in the DTS version. Not sure if there's anything lower though - the waterfalls in the bass movie thread don't seem to show anything below 15.

Surprised to hear there's any decent bass in Darkness Falls. I don't remember much being in it. Then again I only saw it once a long time ago.

It's worth owning, seriously. Even if it doesn't have gobs of <15hz stuff doesn't make the rest of it a picnic. It's one of very few LFE movie I own that makes me fear for the integrity of the house.

sick dude, just sick!!

I have an extra mfw-15 woofer floating around so I am going to put that in a mfw clone and use that for the short term. I am thinking about how I am going to get my serious lows.. I think I may have to do a few large sealed baddies with lms 5400s. maybe make 2 large folded 16 or 18 foot horns. just to be really excessive. haha

I would like to to IB's but they just don't fit into my current space.

Not getting it because there's no single digit content is like throwing out a bag of M&M's just because you ran out of the green ones

The audio in the DTS version in general is a work of art.

Going through the bass movie thread again, it looks like Invasion has massive amounts of single digit content, as well as every frequency north of there. I haven't seen it, so I have no idea what it's like. It may be going on my shopping list.

The cool thing about M&Ms and Skittles is that you can get all sorts of different packs. Tropical, Original, Berry, penut, pretzel. Customized with your name? http://www.mymms.com/ So if they sold an "ALL green" bag of M&Ms and I found a brown one, it needs removed from the bag. It tastes the same, still great, but either it is green or it is not :-P


Seems most space and/or alien movies have the best bass, despite there being no atmosphere therefore "no sound". I got a kick out of Serenity when he was in space shooting his gun at a ship , you heard the shots from inside the vesel and you could tell it wasnt a normal shot, I think it was supposed to sound like an atmosphereless shot, then as the rockets took off, you couldn't hear them..rightly so.

any links to fireworks or any others? must of course have 15Hz or less

Funny I asked the same earlier so here you go.

You'll see towards the bottom there are 4 links you can download. Loved the full coal train and loved the nice sound of the Harley. Dont think these are too low though but they were fun on my THT.

Dang it I need more subs.... yesterday

I'll check those tomorrow! thanks.

I was hoping Alice in Wonderland would be packed, but it had almost none. It really got my hopes up right where I expected things to take off though when it did a 1/4 cycle of 2Hz.

My impressions are from dolby digital version, yep i've heard that version sucks, still there is bass but it's hottest in 40-50hz(door knocks), only scene what i remember to have some good bass is when they try to help nell out of bed and the ghost comes back(25-35hz bass??). I wish i could find the dts dvd, but nobody wants to post it here where i live.

There is good bass(especially car crash is pretty crazy) and great surround use, but like i say earlier not much under 20hz with strong levels.

I tested this with my friend system some time ago and when nicole kindman's character got infection there was huge excursion in those 12" woofers(could be some high level 5-15hz bass?). Btw same movie invasion and the invasion krypto.

it sounds so promasing I snuck it in there twice I'll fix it next edit. In that opening scene of chapter 14 it is very very subtle, and thats what has me baffled. Same with Fringe, sveral episodes. In general, it holds very tru that 1/2ing frequency requires 4X the displacement to maintain the same SPL, compounded by our hearing roll off making me guesstimate that we again need 4X the SPL at 1/2 the frequency to perceive it the same? So 16 times the displacement? So why is it that 20Hz full excusion on my system vs 10Hz full excursion is night and day difference, but this 5Hz stuff with very minimal excursion is easily noticed? As I lay in the bleecher section during Ch 14 opening or Fringe, I sense it with my ears. Not sound, but pressure. I sense it with my skin, my bones, the wobbling bed, the entire house wobbles, breathes...yet the drivers hardly move at all, and, are 8Hz below tuning...so giant 12" air leak. Had these scenes been recorded hot... well maybe I need to go get BlackHawkDown.

Thank you for the spec shots! I am very surprised to see it shows no 3Hz-6Hz cuz I am guessing thats what it is. Oh, and footstomps on TIH are somewhat similar, but more pulse, rapid and tighter.

Im surprised you didnt care for Serenity as a movie so much. Watched The Day After Tomorrow and I didn't care for it too much. Had some good low stuff, throught, but seemed "old" to me. Just watched State of Play, much more "new" crisp, clean, well defined when it was there...but it's hardly there. Both movies had strong helicopter 7Hzish though. Both got the fan blades moving and curtains flopping.
