Hi guys,
I have 2 sealed subs in a 28 by 20 by 8 feet basement room. I went outside to the back patio with my drink last night and put my hand on the outside wall. I could feel significant vibration output on the wall. Long term exposure of such vibration levels to a McMansion's walls couldn't be any good for assurance of structural integrity? Or is it alright?
I have a feeling that some audio enthusiasts hosting lots of ported subwoofers could be abusing their houses even more. European guys with masonry, double brick or stone structural walls have less to worry about than Americanos and their rickety McMansions perhaps?
What are your thoughts? Anyone else worry about your house falling apart when you crank up the volume? Any civil engineers around?
