What do I have to do to get window flexing bass at home?

Question

How do you get windo flexing bass in your home?

Besides speaker loudness, I care about BASS. What must you do to get window flexing, long throw deep bass in a house rather than a stupid car which can be done anywhere? Would I have to buy a strong power woofer or a passive woofer that is boxed with a strong amp?

Answer 1

Do you want to be another dumb tub thumper or do you want quality base?

If you want quality base, look for an amp with the highest signal to noise ratio you can find (95 or above) and the lowest THD % (.1 is ok .01 is much better)

A ported sub box will give you the long reverberating base, a sealed box will give you quick, tight, heart smashing base (great for cannon blasts)

For the subwoofer itself, there is no replacement for displacement. The bigger the cone, the more air movement.

The big ones will need strong magnets otherwise the cone will just be out of control and sound like junk.

Wattage, whether its peak or RMS isnt as much of a valuable number as companies hype it to be. While power is good, the other numbers representing quality can be more important.
