So I was playing the dual TT at *extreme* volumes the other day, don't remember the voltage. I was hanging out in my closet where all the bass happens to hang out as well (due to room modes), and I was enjoying the rattles and shakes of everything on my closet shelves. I suddenly hear this crackling noise that sort of sounds like when you step on pebbles, but I chalked it up as being a noise by a construction worker on the other side of the house working on remodeling and didn't think anything of it.
I walk into my closet later and find this in the far corner, right where the bass smacks the hardest.
Right where the Numark Mixtrack sits in its little cubby:
Yes, that is cracked drywall. I know it was the dual TT- the construction workers were on the other side of the house, and there was nothing present that could have hit and damaged the drywall.
So folks, like we've heard here many times before, BFM subwoofers can do damage to parts of your house at extreme volumes. Be careful with your ears too.

The concrete foundation is solid we recently had a bit of sagging issue in the garage and it was promptly fixed and the house foundation inspected and clear, but the garage is a long way away from my room. I will still tell the parents about this, but I still think the dual TT did it.
