Best songs for Subwoofer Demo?

[Brom]

I talked to the local Danley rep on Friday and he's going to set me up with a demo of some of their subs and tops in the next few weeks. I'm planning on buying a TH-118 in May but also want to hear how the TH-Mini might sound for smaller gigs. He doesn't have a CS30 for me to hear even though that's another small one I was hoping to test out.

With that, what do you think are the best songs to use for demoing subwoofers? I have a test tone app that I can use, too.

"The Way You Move" by Outkast comes to mind right away. Any others you typically use?

depends on what you want the sub for? top 40's and dance music, rock music? reggae? hire inventory?

I use the track "Army of Two" by Umek vs. Beltek. Very heavy and aggressive Detroit tech track. At the 1:05 mark, it gets HEAVY and the bass almost "hangs", more like a straight tone instead of being a musical element.

It's a good one for using to find air leaks and other imperfections with subs, it'll show any faults loud and clear!

There's a program you can download called "Tone Generator" where it will play any frequency you want. Other than that, play a bassy tune that you're familiar with so you can make a comparison.

Thanks, guys. I usually play Top 40 for my DJ work but my personal taste runs a little more left of the dial. With having a chance to test out some of the baddest subs on the planet I wanted to get some other suggestions for really putting them through their paces.
