World’s Most Powerful Subwoofer!

No, it’s not a fan. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the world’s most powerful subwoofer: the Eminent Tech TRW 17. Rather than your garden variety 10 or 12 inch paper cone pulsating back and forth, this subwoofer creates a wall of air as big as your living room. In other words, the entire room becomes a resonating box! It’s different than other leading brands and high quality subwoofers from NHT, and much more powerful.

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.

With a price of $12,900, the TRW 17 is for rap superstars only. Rumor has it smaller versions are in the works as well as one model specifically for cars — naturally, you must present your rap superstar ID at time of purchase.

You think they could at least put a pretty cover on the thing.

Human ear can only hear fequencies 20Hz and higher.
Peter

WOW! I won’t one – no, make that two!!! (Need one for the car also!)

I wonder if I can build one my self… Does anyone have the schematics ?

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
John

even though humans can only hear frequenys of 20hz and above you can feel anything below that. I’ve heard(of should i say felt) a recording of a battle at 8hz and it is amazing how much the house shook. Even though you can hit higher decibels anything that can achieve a lower frequency will definatly sound louder.
Physicsnerd

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

Isn’t it at about 7 cycles per second, that is the brown noise that makes you go….

Can you use it too cool yourself off? It’s got a fan… why not use it

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

It’s like a helicopter tail rotor.

A helicopter tail rotor spins at a constant
speed.
The pitch of the blades can be changed almost instantly causing a blast of air in one direction or the other.

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.

Not only can it create some awsome sound in the feel but not hear range, but it can keep you cold on a hot summer day and if you act now we’ll throw the salad shooter blades in free.

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 will do 150 dbwith music at 5000 w.. 10000 watts peak! Can be tuned in a box to 10hz and is equal to 12 12″ subs in 24cf box. Go to MTX.com and look at the sub vs. other subs. http://www.mtx.com/Flash2/volume_displacement.cfm

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.

First of all the MTX Jackhammer is not the most powerfull woofer in the world. On Pimp My Ride they had 8,000 watts running the woofer, the db meter read 137 db. that is extremly weak. My friend has a single RE XXX 12″ woofer with 2,400 watts running it and he hit 147 db. And my friend has 3 Powerbass 15″ woofers with 9,000 total power and he hit 157 db.

9,000 watts total power. I screwed up

Ytter_man

my 2 10″ Pioneer subs hit 135.3 dB… that thing better be able to get up to 160-170 db or i’m dissappointed.
NoLimitSoldier

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