Aijan Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Just stumbled on this one: http://www.coolpicturegallery.net/2009/12/biggest-subwoofer-in-world.html Compression chamber made of bricks! 120 dB sensitivity! All I can say is wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 ya, that thing is crazy, but now days power is super cheap, so we can have much smaller subs that deliver plenty of SPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricci Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 That's old news but still one of the more impressive bass builds I have seen documented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I would take system sensitivity with a grain of salt. Its really misleading especially for horn loaded systems where manufactures usually only report the maximum sensitivity across the frequency range. Take the dts-10 for example (since we have real numbers on it). Danley claims 100dB @ 1 watt while at 31.5Hz its pulls off a maximum of 116dB SPL. While that is a very respectable figure, it can’t possibly have 100dB sensitivity there because it required many thousands of watts to reach that level. If it really was 100dB SPLsens at 31Hz then it would only take ~50watts to hit 116dB... clearly not reality. The DTS-10 does have 100dB sensitivity, but only up around 100Hz or so.
