What type of subs do "raves" use?

[DJ Higgumz]

Excision plays at the rave, so I wanted to keep it general. I guess I should have been more specific.

[BassMe]

I've always wanted to go to an Excision show, but I figure I'll just have to get a seat near the subwoofers and lose a couple of kHz of hearing capacity in one day.

I'm bringing shooting ear plugs with me. I value my hearing

Only problem is that plugs tend to have the greatest reduction in the upper frequencies leaving the bass less affected, hence why the sound seems muffled to our ears because it's cut out ~30-40 db of and highs, only and only 10-15 db of the bass.

You can get ear plus that a lot of performers and bar staff etc use. They usually reduce a clean 20dB over the entire spectrum. They look very different to normal foam squishup ear plugs. They make a world of difference at a concert or club. You can hear people talking amd everyone else is busy yelling WHAT!? At everyone lol

I doubt I heard a note below 40 hz really that night.

Some, but not many. While they claim 25Hz response a look at the spec sheet shows they're high-passed at 30Hz, and with their internal DSP engaged they don't go as low as the T60. They're nice subs, but not unique.

I was mostly refering to the actual musical content. there may have been a few drops lower than that for sure, but for the most part I was taking 60-90 to the face with rib rumblers around 40-45 hz.
