Yes it was 5/6 Jan 2014 'SoundSystem Sound off' a David and Goliath situation where people didn't even hide their shame lol but were openly measuring the 'Shortmans' with their hands, people could not believe what was happening we all chat till the cows come home, some swear Black is Blue but you cant beat real world stuff.

Were never on the edge they were hardly moving. Joker sp comments as usual. If u were at the southall amp test u wud have seen just how much the driver cud move in the cab and how much air it cud push out. Gp were moving maybe half as much as that. I have to laugh. Only thing on the edge were the 1050w per channel amps used especially with gains not opened full. But sufficed enough to not need turning up more as they proved themselves. Hence not plugging them into the inf8 that was sitting there lol. If in doubt bring a sound out and book the date.

Some people happy with Folded Horns playing Reggae, but I can guarantee it's not the dub crowd, who absolutely, definitely want to hear 40hz with huge SPL, as opposed to 55hz.

EDIT:Won't even mention the Dub Reflex crew, who want huge SPL, at 30hz!!!

LOL

king earthquake is well heavy weight with folded horns so they can drop lower than the 55hz you mentioned,,& 2 em quakes will drop lower than 2 scoops without breakin a sweat,.tryd & tested,,but i do still prefere scoops for that natural roll..

Let's agree, people have different ideas of "well heavy".

Some people think uber amounts of 55hz is well heavy, and uber amounts of 40hz, is wobbly bass.

Buy the wrong bass amp, and that's where all your energy will be, unless you want to barbeque amp!!

Iration Steppers souded heavy last night, using Cutty's desgn. Not scoops though. I think some hybrid band pass. Was doing the bizzness.....
A friend I was there with was impressed by the punch of kick drum, me the low end weight, so best of both worlds. Çould easily see them good with many genre's of music.

I wasnt there but ao far have only heard pure 60hz pressure fr9m that sound using them. So backs up levs point qbout one mans heavy isnt the same as another. The othet crew usin them crazy 50hz pressure. Goes down to 40 but only pressure at the higher 50 when they play.
