I have 2 yamaha hs8s 8 inch subs and pondering svs 1000pro because i found deal on ebay that can deliver to Egypt.It's probably not the tracks, and I assume you have EQ or tone controls so you can turn-up the bass?
Two 8-inch speakers have about the same piston area as one 12-inch. Size isn't everything, but generally larger drivers and larger boxes can put-out more bass.
I'm an old-school big-speaker guy and IMO a pair of 8-inch woofers is "small", and especially small for a subwoofer.
Right. Pro subs used for live music or in clubs are usually, large, ported, and tuned to go down to around 40Hz. For reference, the lowest note on a standard electric guitar is about 42Hz. Speaker design is a compromise and by not trying to go lower, they can make it efficient and loud to fill a large space with bass you can feel in your body.
Pro studio subs don't need the same compromises. The space is smaller and and they usually have plenty of budget for more amps & subs if necessary. And generally, home subs don't need as much power or efficiency (again a smaller space) so good home subwoofers often go down to around 20Hz. And with a good home sub and enough power you can get enough bass to feel.
Keep in mind the 'feel it in the chest' frequencies, i.e. around the kick drum, are a lot higher than you may realize
Myth busted perhaps.....?
What is NASA guideline for speaker placement for bass optimisation?there is more detailed study white pdf paper Nasa on the frequencies on the body
Vibrations transmitted to human subjects through passenger seats and considerations of passenger comfort - NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)
An experimental study was conducted to determine the vertical and lateral vibration-transmission characteristics of several types of transport vehicle seats (two aircraft and one bus) to obtain preliminary estimates and comparisons of the ride acceptability of the various seat types.

Takes one to know one. He would fit right in in this thread.He does ramble.
Perhaps another myth...but you do want your subwoofer and main speakers correctly time-aligned at the listening position to perceive the maximum subjective impact.

Maybe elaborate on what you are specifically referring too and how it could help the OP.
