[…] This thing would put the funk in the trunk of an Oil Tanker: By rotating the fins and modulating the speed, frequency goes all the way down to 1Hz, the territory of jet engines, nuclear explosions and plate tectonics. By comparison, your typical sub hits 20Hz on its best day. […]

World’s Most Powerful Subwoofer

Coming soon to a 1986 Monte Carlo down your street at 3 a.m. is the TRW 17 subwoofer. This isn?t your grandma’s subwoofer. Hell, this doesn?t even look like a subwoofer, but it is. Normal subwoofers pulsate a concave paper…

Human ear can only hear fequencies 20Hz and higher.

the human ear can hear only 20Hz and higher, but the human bowel can respond to even lower frequencies igniting an outrageous desire for fried chicken: D

It’s not the world’s most powerful sub, not even close. In fact it’s so far off it’s in another state.

Look at the specs:
Maximum acoustic output >110dB between 1 and 30Hz (which usually means between 110 and 111dB)

No match for my own sub, a Servodrive Contrabass, which has a maximum output of 114dB at 16Hz and cost only $5K rather than $17K for the ET sub. Furthermore, my sub is the smallest in the Servodrive range!

The most powerful sub I know of is my sub’s big brother:

That has a max output of 130dB!! Equivalent to about 8 of those ET weaklings working in tandem

Even if you can’t hear it, lower frequencies can resonate constructively and make the audible frequencies louder or softer. Instruments also make sounds we can’t hear, but its often because of those sounds that they sound different in real life than when recorded

Myth Busters has proven that the brown note myth isn’t true.

Neat, I always wanted something to make my hair fly around whenever I get hit in Quake.

But does it look ugly though? (at least to me it does)

I wonder if it comes with any attachments, like crosscut blade, grinder, polisher, vaccuum, that sort of thing.

Maximum acoustic output >110dB between 1 and 30Hz is much more impressive for a subwoofer than a Servodrive Contrabass, which has a maximum output of 114dB at 16Hz.

Ok, so this is a great LF Subwoofer. But what do you drive it with that will give you 1Hz? Yeah it would be great to feel “getting hit” in Quake but we don’t have any commercially available amps that will run that low in frequency. ;-/

(With Australian accent) That’s not a subwoofer. This is a subwoofer:

OK, OK, so it’s not a retail product. I still thought you might be interested.

It’s not that we can’t hear below 20 Hz. What happens is that below 20 Hz we can hear each cycle as a separate occurence. So at 10Hz, for example, our brain hears an iterative succession of thumps reather than a continuous pitch. You could tap your finger on a glass table twice per second easily and that would be a 2 Hz “sound” (I say glas, because if you do it on a wood table, most likely you’ll get the table top vibrating much faster). Now if you could accelerate your taping more and more, by the time you hit 20 times per second (or more) you would get to a point where you no longer discern taps and hear a low pitch.

[…] Aside from looking a little like a giant pimped-out Hershey Kiss, this prototype speaker from Fostex seems really promising for those of use who really like to feel our music (for another such speaker, check this one out). Instead of using a paper cone and inducing vibrations in the air, this particular speaker shakes the living snot out of whatever surface it happens to be sitting on (like your table). The technology behind it sounds quite esoteric: It features an actuator using a super magnetostrictor that extends and shrinks in line with magnetic field changes. The actuator converts input sound into the vibration and conveys it to the tabletop thus rendering sound. To ensure the conveyance of vibration, the system itself is as heavy as 1.8 kg. Super magnetostrictor. The only somewhat useful stuff I found in Google on this is here, though it’s much to lengthy for me to read through. […]

whats the wattage required to power that beast???????

[…] Well, the list really goes on and on. So, I’ll finish it up with this one: Eminent Tech’s TRW17, aka the world’s most powerful subwoofer. Of course, “most powerful” is a bit of a misnomer, as the TRW’s claim to fame is its ability to generate frequencies as low as 1Hz. It’s not a traditional subwoofer, with a magnet and a cone. Instead, it uses a fan-like design, where the blades are rotated and modulated to create a cone of vibrating air that can turn an entire room into a resonating box. And sure, you can’t really hear at that low a frequency, but I’m told that your insides get quite the shaking, and I know we’re all up for a little gut-shaking, no?

9,000 watts total power. I screwed up

MTX the true 22

its a fan or a sound woffer

111dB? and its the most powerful?? di doubt it… and at 13k, you can get subs that will hit in the 160’s

People who are so stuck up with the fact that a cone engineered subwoofer is the most powerful because of wattage or because the “company says so”–no fucking shit the company is going to say so… what do you think? “OH, WE’RE THE SECOND BEST, OUR COMPETITOR IS BETTER THOUGH”–amperage, you guys are total morons. Cone woofers are pushed to their technological limits and it’s about time they invented a better subwoofer. Remember how big the first computers and processors were compared to that of today and then compare how powerful they are. The bigger is not always better. 1Hz….. be serious… at the low frequency there is ZERO distortion regardless of the volume. 1Hz is also really the frequency of a nuclear explosion. db is nothing when you compare something at a frequency of 1Hz… neither is max wattage… This this essentially has no wattage limit… the more you have, the louder it’ll get without compromises in quality… what more can you ask for besides a lower price? So all the white hats stuck up about size and db have to take in account for this NOT being a traditional cone subwoofer.

So, Pioneer’s team wins the bass compition every year, now they have a sub that they claim to be ‘The Most Powerful” the TS-W8102SPL @ 8k Watts & 170dB , shuttle launch (if I’m not mistaken). The TRW 17 creats 1Hz sound at whatever dB,so what. What really matters is the wattage that reaches the listener/feeler. Yes, sound is really measured in wattage, dB is a scale of magnitude. Bare with me if I’m not exactly correct, it’s been ten years since I last studied this stuff. For the purpose of measuring how much energy is actually converted into sound you’d need to measure the wattage over a given time, say, ten seconds. Then you could really say which was more powerful. Just comparing dB is like comparing current generation video game consoles by bit (NES-8bit, SNES-16bit, get it?) what really matters is what comes out. And BTW, ‘conventional’ subwoofers aren’t conventional anymore. Carbon Fiber pushed the limits higher, Titanium pushed the limits higher, and now ceramics are pushing the limits even higher. Wait until Carbon Nano Tube materials replace carbon fiber. The only thing that’s the same in my subs as my grandma’s is the basic shape and a magnetic feild drives both.

will somebody[ by somebody i mean a well known acoustics engineer] plse explain me what technology it uses and how this technology works? how those funky fins vibrate the air particles to produce lower frequencies. my e-mail- gauravsharmaguru@yahoo.com

you all are pussy’s I hit 151db with two 12inch pioneer premiers and a 1600watt Hifonics Zues amp in a 98 kia beat that, with a box tuned at 35 hertz

the mtx true 22 jackhammer pushes 12,000 watts of infuriating bass and it has the largest magnet on any subwoofer at 900 ounces. yeah that’s well over 50lbs, it has a 6.5 inch voice coil.
