Last weekend I watched the "Incredibles".The weekend before I watched "Flight of the Pheonix".
This weekends movie was"Ladder 49".After the two previous weekends,I was expecting good sound but not expecting low hard hits as in the 2 prior movies.Boy o Boy,was I mistaken.
1st,I'll mention that I'm using an Athena P-2 sub(in the process of building an IB sub).Ladder has a good story,enjoyable movie to watch.I'm watching this at -17 on my prepro.Within the first 5 minutes,there are numerous explosions that made my sub and shakers work and work hard.
There are scenes in this movie(buildings crashing in,firey explosions)that hit so hard,I said to the wife numerous times"well,that killed the sub".
My sub,according to Athena will hit the 25hz mark.I was almost willing to bet money It died during quite a few scenes.Of course it was hard to tell considering the shakers were moving my couch across the room,
.
If you dont live in earthquake country like I do and arent afraid of the neighbors calling the USGS for a seismic(sp) activity report,watch Ladder 49
