World's Most Powerful Subwoofer

dponce80 writes "This $13,000 subwoofer, the TRW 17 from Eminent Technology is billed as the world's most powerful due to its ability to reproduce sounds with frequencies as low as 1Hz. Typical subwoofers bottom out at 20Hz, and while the human ear can barely hear below that point, it is still possible to feel the sound. This particular woofer does not have an enclosure, instead relying on a fan-like design, wafting a cone of modulated air into the room, and effectively turning it into a resonating box, in its entirety!"

so even if your subwoofer reproduces frquencies below 20hz you will never know it.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Take any sine generator (eg. Steinberg Wavelab has one) and generate a sine wave with a single frequency of 5hz, or 6hz, or 7hz, or anything you want.

It's actually fun finding the resonant frequency of your house/apartment/student's cardboard box. Don't do it too long or it WILL break stuff. You've been warned.
