I think my, 'The Towering Inferno' one is easily by the best sub candle blow out I have done, period! I mean that John Williams score builds up the tension! The timing and rehearsal, perfect when the explosives blow out the millions of gallons of water to put the fire out.

I happened to have Star Trek TOS playing at the time and I have complex cinema professional where I just had the audio playing from THX Cimarron, of the recrate videos on youtube playing though the Non-sync mode on my SDDS DFP-D3000, while Star Trek was playing.

The THX Cimarron was known to be a bass, sub bass buster as the trailer was recalled as it obliterated many THX cinema subwoofers and replaced with a tamer version.

I did this one around 2014, JBL 4645 was opposite side of the room. It's interesting how the camera not intentional due to the angle it had a vertical flare glare that more less resembles an oscilloscope trace which fluctuated what I would see on a scope.



I still haven't seen any of your home theatre subs movies doing it.

The movie that made me feel depressed since aged 11, that gave me Tinnitus at the ABC Bournemouth screen 1, in Sensurround April 1979. :(
bluray edition dtshdma Sensurround 1.1. It plays in 2.1 so got switch pro-logic on the sound is from centre channel mono and the LFE sensurround that is active a lot so Turn it Down otherwise it may give you tinnitus!

this is probably easier the worse the sub lol
a supermarket sub which throws everything below 50Hz through the port will throw a lot of air out of it
supermarket soundbar subs would easily fit into a shopping trolly. A JBL cinema sub wouldn't.

These are a little on the large size but...
Well we used to have a birthday cake with candles being blown out on an old Servodrive subwoofer brochure but that was long ago.

How about a subwoofer that can also dry hair or flap all of your clothing


advance to around 7 min

These move enough air to blow out a cake too.

This could blow a candle or two... They say it's 1,5 megawatts of amplification. I just wonder about SINAD :rolleyes:

In the Expendables at one point Terry Crews goes nuts with a gatling gun... extreme bass ensues to the point the neighbours may call a SWAT team.

Ah, here it is;

:cool:
