>good recording of Tchaikovsky's 1812. That has quiet, soft spots and live
>cannon fire. In college, when my roommate was building his stereo system he
>used to bring his own 1812 CD to test decks and speakers in the store.

1812 now thats a piece of music... I feel a stereo story coming on...

A friend of mine last year in the dorms bought a radio shack 12" DVC sub
(w/ box) . It was kinda sucky and couldn't handle all the power his amp
could push. So he replaced the sub with a MTX Thunder Pro 12 DVC. His amp
was a old but top quality 70's amp that could push 70+ RMS a channel and
the MTX could take 125 W. We lived on the 1st floor of a 6 story concrete
dorm. During testing when the cannon hit apparently we knocked stuff of
shelves and walls on the second floor and even the third floor above us.
All of us got wrote up and he had to take the sub out of the building.
I've never heard anything hit that hard that deep (home stereo wise).

note: Brian my friend, dropped outta school. I got a letter from him
saying he got a new carver 150*2 rack mount amp for the sub and blew the
radio shack box in <15 mins. :)
