Subwoofer getting lower than human hearing threshold?!?!

[EpicMango 10+ year member]

Is that even possible?^^^^

Can a sub be built so good, that it hits lows that humans can't hear, and just produces a vibration?

Also, anybody got any gooooooooddd low hitting songs for my OA 15 to eat up?

When I mean low, I mean Tupac- Hail Mary, massage everybody in my car, low!

I had my 8 playin at 12 hz.... I cannot hear below 21 tho... so ya it can happen but it is usually box dependant.

Your 8 inch sub hit a 12hz note?!?!?!

....I don't think my 15 could do that..

I wouldnt call it hitting the note because I can not hear that low.... all I could hear was the air moving from the front and rear wave....

If you were tuned low enough you could play into the teens. Now, being able to hear it is a different story. I'm sure if it was loud enough you could hear it.

Yes, it's entirely possible...

The magnitude of the wave has nothing to do with it if the frequency is below the threshold of audible human range.

I haven't tried anything lower than 23hz but I can hear air moving at about that range.

23hz lowest note.

I can play 12Hz easily, you hear the harmonics.

I generated my own track the measured the results in the cabin and trunk. Was a fun test.

I am feeling a debate coming... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hide.gif.2d479cfd917eedfe201353b91522ceab.gif

What's there to debate? Can subwoofers play subsonics? Yes. Can you hear subsonics? No.

HT subs routinely play below 20hz.
