I used to run the Cerwin Vega Earthquake System at consumer trade shows when I was working for a big CV dealer in the 70's..
It was nothing more than a reel to reel tape of random noise fed into a couple of racks of 800w power
amps driving folded 18" speaker enclosures. The SPL was tremendous and the farther away you got from
the speakers the more the effect was "earthquake" like.

Staffan,

Hälsningar här i Sverige !

It sounds too good that I can abstract from the bustling people and that is not the real stuff but a clone coming pretty close.

This is the first time I'm clearly the warmth and tonal richness of a clone being played with chords rather than single note riffs.

Interesting to know that you're using sucessfully @ 130Hz and < ones thru a sublow speaker.

That was the kind of rig that L. Hammond never imagined cause the factory ceased in the 70's when loudspeaker technology wasn't popular for a musician's rig.

Only tested on the so called "Sensurround" amping at cinemas.

Btw, anybody remember "Earthquake" film of the 70's featuring Charlton Heston role ?

Here in ARG the structure of the building had to be reinforced to avoid damages in the building . Btw, was the first public experience with monster sublow speakers made by Cerwin-Vega

Told that that I've didn't read anough comments before about using sublows used in conjunction with a subwoofer loudspeaker whether passive or active.

btw as seems that the mentioned subwoofer is active, how much powerful is their output measured in Watt RMS ?

Your comments will be highly appreciated.

Tack

Rafael

Thanks for all the kind words! The video comes from a mobilphone but the sound comes from an old zoom recorder ducktaped to a pillar in front of the band. I use two small old amplifiers to hear myself in stereo. I also use stereo out direct to the mixer.

From the mixer all signals go to a 18-inch subwoofer who takes care of everything below 130hz.

That makes the job easier for the two mackie 450. The mackies sound clean and nice when the stress from bass is removed.

On rehersal I used mono but I prefer stereo.
