I use a couple of songs to tests subwoofers, not necessarily because they're reference because I'm sure that they are not, but because they seem to push subwoofers to their limits (at least with what I've tested: mostly 12" car subs w/ 250-350 watt rms amps; earthquake, jl, kicker, rockford fosgate, diamond, and my onkyo 8" htib sub).
Linkin Park - Frgt/10 (Alchemist ft Chali 2NA)
Prodigy - Mindfields (Matrix Soundtrack)
Rob D - Clubbed To Death (Kurayamino Mix) (Matrix Soundtrack)
The linkin park track seems to make most subs produce "high pitched squeals?", like a grating sound, when the bass loop starts if the volume is only moderately loud.
The Prodigy and Rob D tracks make subs bottom out easily at loud volumes/ loose tightness, control.
Anyone have these songs willing to do a waterfall? If no one has these tracks I'll upload a 15 sec loop. This is what I want any sub to be able to handle effortlessly at ref volumes. So far unfortunately, every sub (all $500 or under) I've tested fails to perform well with one of these tracks. Although the Linkin Park one is the worst because it sounds like the sub's voice coil is being destroyed. Anybody with good car or ht subs willing to test this?
thanks
