There is a scene in U-571 where the depth charges are going off above the submarine.
There is no high pitch nor any other sound when the low frequency depth charges go off so the sound coming from the subwoofer is very apparent . My subwoofer becomes quite distracting at that point because you can hear the driver working..this isn't the same as port chuffing but you can hear the woofer..like it is struggling. It is very distracting.
The guy at the shop said that hardly any subwoofers can handle that scene because the frequencies are too low to reproduce. All you should be hearing or feeling in that scene is low frequency rumble not the subwoofer's driver working over-time. This occurs in that same scene even at very moderate volumes so it is not volume related.
Is this what you call 'bottoming' ? It almost sound as though either the woofer is not long enough or that there is too much power which the driver cannot handle.
I am using a Whatmough Tempest Mk11 subwoofer. It has a 10 inch driver and 300 watt RMS amplifier.
Alright guys I need you guys to chime in here with the brands and models you have that can handle that scene...
