Good Music for Subwoofers

theusualsuspect

Hi All,

Looking for some suggestions for songs which will bring out the full potential of Subwoofers in the Car.
I'm tired of all the Sh1te Amercian Rap and looking for something different.

Two songs which really rock the subs

The Timewarp - Subfocus
Get Buck in here - Akon

All suggestions welcome.

BTW Anybody headin to the car show in Macroom on Sunday?

you might want to move it again. If people here know much about car stereos it's by accident. This be Home Emtertainment.

try El Cid by Leftfield. its on the album Rhythm & Stealth, great sub sweep throughout the track. get the actual CD if you can, Mp3s are useless for full range sounds.

Or My generation by Limp Bizkit, the drum fill at the start is ridiculous on the bass drum!!

Would ya not listen to music ya like rather than music you think will male ya look cool

Seth Brundle

Do you actually want us to tell you what type of music to listen to? Have you no opinion of your own?
Why not stick in some Slayer then?

How powerful is your sub and amp? Rap always sounds good with a powerful system of at least 1KW RMS.

A decent base should be heard well over a block away.

I am using a 3KW GZ monoblock driving 2 x 1KW RMS 15" cones.

He's looking for some advice on what tracks give subwoofers a good work out, whats the problem? i dont like Limp Bizkit but i still stick on the intro of My Generation to show off subs

Move again to modified motors I say.

this shouldnt be anywhere near cars, move it to a music forum if anything. at least somebody there will know a bassy song

The Best thing the OP can do is wait for the next custom car show and have a good look around. Dealers will be playing the best stuff that would sell their products, ie Good bass. You can also purchase most of these sounds at these shows.

If you know anyone working in a factorsthat deals in subs and good sound systems they often get in demo Cd's for playing this stuff, you could ask for a copy.

I had one CD called "shockwave", the bass would wake the dead, I would stick it into the head unit and turn it up full if I came up beside some idiot using his handset in traffic.

*awaits move to Hip Hop or Dance&Electronic&DJing*

OP anything D'n'B is going to have tight sub harmonics in spades. Off the top of my head nearly anything by High Contrast, Adam F, LTJ Bukem, ED Rush and Optical, Aphrodite (and a hundred others) will give your sub a good workout.

Blue Monday by New Order?

it depends on your car size and sub size.

for me a hatchback golf with a 12' sub this is what kicked me up the ass

im not saying some of these are good but when you wanna feel what's in your boot this should do the trick!

Haven't been keeping up with the thread but can't believe the intrest and thanks for all your suggestions.

The system is owned by a friend and consist's of 8 10" sub's and plently of juice, even its own altenator !!!

I was looking for tracks to play that are super bassy but catchy and funky
anything from Dance to progressive to rock to pop, ok well maybe not pop ! but not all the "" YO YO YO [EMAIL="WHO@S"]WHO@S[/EMAIL] YOUR DAADY BI*CH "" .

I'm gonna go and download oh i mean buy all the suggestions so far and try them out over the weekend at a show in the UK at the weekend.

Thanks again and I'LL BE BACK.

Can't go wrong with the Explosive Car Tuning series, they'll certainly put the sub to the test

Anything by these guys:

Might be a bit too laid back for driving though

Something a bit more upbeat:

Yeah definitely.

I remember it wasn't until a mate of mine got a decent stereo that had a Subwoofer years back that I was actually able to hear the sub in a track that I'd already loved up until.

It was so strange listening to the extra bass. It was like listening to another track.

The track was Horizons by LTJ Bukem
