Members Super 8 Posted September 26, 2011 Members Share Posted September 26, 2011 One has to admire the craftsmanship that went into that. If it were mine I'd use it exclusively for playing the music of Percy Faith. Thaz how we roll baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted September 27, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 I got a press release for a company that was making a woofer that would put out an unrealistically high SPL. I stopped by their booth at CES mostly to find out how they measured SPL in one of those boom buggies. The guy I talked to was really on the ball and I learned a lot about stuff that I didn't really want to know about. He pointed me to a fully outfitted truck a couple of booths away that measured those sort of levels so I went over to take a look at it. No problems with the body flexing or the windows blowing out - it was a former armored money delivery truck. I think there are some photos of it in the CES report on my web site.

Members blue2blue Posted September 27, 2011 Members Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ever hear one of these drive by? You could park one on either side of a stage as a PA Apologies in advance on this one... the subject turns out to be apparently mythical, but what interested me were the effects and sensations that were experienced. (Bolded at the end.) ________________________________The brown note is a theoretical infrasonic frequency that would cause humans to lose control of their bowels due to resonance. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that a "brown note" (transmitted through sound waves in air) exists. [...] Frequencies supposedly involved are between 5 and 9 Hz, which is below 20 Hz, the lower frequency limit of human hearing. High power sound waves below 20 Hz are felt in the body, not heard by the ear as sound. The only other vibrations titled with colors are the colors of noise and blue notes.

Members Ernest Buckley Posted September 27, 2011 Members Share Posted September 27, 2011 I`ve seen cars sort of like this... but nothing this "dramatic". For the record, if I did have something like this, I would scare the neighbors and play something Mozart Requiem and Beethoven.... string quartets or the 9th...

Members WRGKMC Posted September 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2011 I used to have all kinds of guitar speakers and horns in my first station wagon as a kid back in the 70s. The power boosters for 8 tracks back then were pretty lame. Thay took the speaker output from the 8 track and supposively boosted it. I had lost interest by the time they started coming out with some decent power amps at a decent cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tomm Williams Posted September 28, 2011 Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_note The reason that last bit really hit home with me is because when I'm subjected to super loud low frequencies -- like when a "boom truck" decides to show off its stuff next to me at a light or while I'm sitting outside my favorite coffee house and one is waiting at the light cooking the intersection with its whumping thud -- it makes me want to physically attack the source. I mean, I become nearly irrational. Ala the "Twinkie Defense" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted September 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 28, 2011 If each band member had one it might make for some cool mobile partying. Get an effects unit/preamp and plug straight into the power amp. The drummer could run midi drums, the guitar, bass, and keys could plug stright into their vehicles. Just park them in a line or a circle facing each other. Something like that would have been a blessing when I used to rock the Jersey Shore back in the 70s. We used to do some gigs with generators but those were pretty noisy. When the cops came you could just stick the guitar in the back and close the hatch back. The cops would be looking around for a band. I'd play on the beach like that and once a cop would tell us to turn down we'd get a carravan and pack everything up and haul it to another beach a few miles away. When cops were called out again they wound up going to the wrong house. What a hoot. We did drive the cops nuts back then, but in general, the whole town showed up and we rarely had any problems. Dems were the days. Now you'd have to get all kinds of permits and jump through hoops to do what we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
