Magico's Q sub 18
Has anyone heard this beast? 2 18 inch drivers in it and weighs 570 pounds. Each driver is enclosed with a 2 inch baffle. Indicates in the description that it produces 175 db pressurization, the same level of pressure as a Boeing taking off!
What's amazing is the cabinet. 1 % displacement of the enclosure at 175 db. I believe this thing is priced at 36,000. Would love to see/hear this! http://magico.net/images/product/qsub/1.jpg |
Sounds believable:
85dB Beginning of hearing damage range, earplugs should be worn 100dB Normal average car or house stereo at maximum volume 110dB Car stereo with two 6 x 9” speakers and 100 watts 116dB Human body begins to perceive vibration from low frequencies 120dB Front row at a rock concert 125dB Drums, at the moment of striking 130dB Typical professional DJ system 127dB Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) begins. Permanent hearing loss 128dB Loudest human scream 130dB Marching band of 200 members 132dB Eardrum vibration noticeable 133dB Gunshot 135dB “Very loud” street car stereo. Bass only 140dB Threshold of pain, all frequencies 140dB Hearing protection required (definite long term damage) 140dB human throat and vocal cord resonance occurs 141dB Nausea felt after a few minutes 144dB Nose itches due to hair vibrations 145dB Vision blurs due to eyeball vibration 147dB Formula 1 race car full throttle drive bye 149dB Human lungs and breathing begins vibrating to the sound 150dB Loud rock concert, at speakers 150dB Sensation of being compressed as if underwater 152dB Vibration is painful and felt in joints 153dB Throat vibrating so hard it is impossible to swallow 154dB Compression will burst child’s balloon 155dB Experience cooling from excited air movement, up to 15 degree C perceived cooling 158dB Inside of a rock concert speaker bin with 5000 watts power 160dB Flashlight exhibits electromagnetic pulsing (dimming during tone) 163dB NHRA Top Fuel Dragsters- 5000 to 7000 horsepower 163dB Possible glass breaking level 164dB Internal sound pressure of a large jet turbine 165dB Jet airplane, Example: Boeing 727, at take off 170.75dB = 1 pound per square inch 172dB Fog is created, depending on the temperature, dew point and humidity 174dB Air begins to heat up due to compression 175dB Quarter dynamite stick, very close pressure may exceed 210 db. 177dB = 2 pound per square inch 180dB 1 pound TNT at 15 feet |
One of the loudest sounds ever recorded was NASA's Saturn V rocket, which registered 204 decibels.

Crazy stats, thanks! |

Even crazier! Where does The Who fit in, and Quest Field Seattle with one of the loudest stadiums in the country? |

It’s a crazy loud stadium, I didn’t realize we have been beat, will work on changing that! I live in the past on many things, maybe don’t want to let go, dunno - |

I was in the press area for Skylab which was aboard the most powerful Saturn V ever. Unforgettable. |

I'll help you beat the record. Love going to Seahawks games! |
**The launch of a Saturn V rocket, for example, produces around 220 decibels, which ignites grass a mile away with the sound alone. The launch pad has to dump 300,000 gallons of water in 41 seconds below the rocket for absorption or the reflected sound waves would rip the rocket apart.
**The water suppression system reduces the acoustic sound level to approximately 142 dB. Best Sirs & apologize for varying off OP topic, Bob |
