DVDs with house crumbling bass - Page 2

Agreed and Agreed. I think room modes or an overly hot subwoofer come into play a lot.

I use the opening scene in LOST IN SPACE when fine tuning my sub.
The rocket blasts and the explosions that follow are great.

'LOUDER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER'

The rocket blasts caused your sub to explode !?!

the grudge has some great bass, as some have already mentioned. sky captain is pretty good too.

To DMF: Very funny. And what is it about those colors dude?

Half bit rate DTS, it is not Full bit rate.

That may be the issue most recording engineers and live engineers like a hump in the lo freq not so flat. This is a prime example of EQ by RTA. try letting up on the EQ a bit not so flat.

HULK!!!!!

DaredDevil.

That movie has some awesome bass!

I am Surprised noone has mentioned Underworld that movie has very good bass too!!

I just watched Cellular, great bass!!

Mongoose107 you got that right.Blade2 was my reference for aggressive surround with killer bass but Underworld is my new champ.Also try The Exorcist the version you never saw.LOTR:Return of the King almost started a fight over the holidayz.I shut it off to keep the peace.Muy Grande Bass!!!

Thirded! Sky Captain gave my new SVS a workout yesterday.

TRULY teeth rattling?

The Core - bridge collapse
Flight of the Phoenix - pre-crash storm and crash itself

What do you think are the best scenes in Blade2? I love the Blade series. I just picked up a SVS 16-46pc Its the older one, but I think it has a little left in it.

Jeez I saw that the other day in HD and that scene was truly a wall crumbling experience.

Flight of the Phoenix (2004) sand storm and crash

Vibrated the grills off my in-ceiling rears at -5

The way I remember it, there was killer bass throughout the movie. Obviously, there were better moments than others but the whole movie seemed like a bass ride, from memory. Maybe I'll throw it in tonight and check it out again.

I'm certain Torque was mentioned somewhere on this thread. I watched the movie when it originally came out on DVD, then about a week ago I left my satellite receiver on and was working in my garage which is next to my den. The chase scene was playing and I hear these large banging sounds and I thought some one had hit the rear of my townhouse.

If you really want to give your sub a work out get Ladder 49 and check out the first scene when they go into a burning building. There's a back draft and it starts to explode. No pun intended, it is really a BLAST!

MY favorite is "Debbie Does the Pimp" Great bass from all the actions scenes!!!!!!!

Guys,

If you have not seen the Incredibles yet, Its a Must See/Listen too. I am not sure how low the frequency is in this movie but I thought I was gonna get ejected out of my reclyner a few times...It has some POWERFUL Bass in it. This movie has lots of bass in it, not just one or two scenes. The movie was really good too in my opinion. My VTF-3MKII handled it flawlessly and did it VERY well. The wife really liked this movie too and also said afterward " Now that was a good movie with some goooood bass"


Thx,
Claude

brickie

U-571
The Haunting

i think you're referring to the incredibles?

if you were, i had to turn DOWN the volume on my sub cuz it was erm... distrubing the peace... ahahha

and that new thx logo, man that thing is AWESOME!!! snuck some thumping bass in there... someone find out how low that bass goes!!!

Altho I like BladeII, think it has reference video and great audio, I would not include it int eh top BASS dvds by any stretch of the imagination.

I can't help but to wonder if room modes personal taste,& type of sub or subs being used isn't playing a big part on how some are perceiving loud or low bass here. I see so many post that one person will say that movie X has the lowest, loudest, teeth rattling bass they ever heard & they thought that there walls were going to be blown down. But than after that they say they cant believe there 12" Velo CHT could do that & live through it. Than another person comes in to say that movie 2X has twice the bass of movie X & it's the best they have ever heard.
Any way to get to my point, & just to clear things up I'm not trying to pick on anyone or change the direction of the thread. But I have most of the movies menchioned in this thread that I do agree have some very good bass in them. But I also I several different movies that I have seen menchioned that have very good bass to them but not extent that some will describe. Or another point the this movie kills the bass in that movie argument. There have been several times I will see someone say OMG you have to hear ch 23 in movie 2X where the earth gets split in two by a super ray nuke bomb, I thought it was really happening I've never heard bass like that. But than I'll go check it out & I'm like that was it, where is the insane bass they were talking about, I felt something but I had to rewind to make sure it wasn't just me farting or something. But than I throw in a movie they were comparing it to & think holly crap what were they thinking that has some bass. And I don't think my sub is no slouch either, nor am I trying to say that anyone else's is. But rather I think it is funny how wide the perception of good, low, loud, or how ever you care to describe it bass is.

I agree. This is a very subjective subject. That is why when I go on this thread, the point I try make is that if I find something that has a lot of impact, I recommend that you check it out. Unfortunately I rarely get a response.
