GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Just thought I would throw this question out there:What are your favourite songs to play on your subs?Here's a few of mine (alphabetical order):Beastie Boys - IntergalacticBelly - I'm the manBob Sinclair - Sounds of FreedomEminem - Cleaning Out My ClosetFort Minor - In StereoFort Minor - Remember the NameIce Cube - Why We ThugsJahfus feat. Ray J - Shut It All DownMickey Avalon - Hustler Hall of FameMickey Avalon - Friends and LoversPlaya Fly - Nobody Needs NobodyThree Six Mafia - Side to SideYoungbloodz & Lil' Wayne - U Way50 Cent - In Da Club

Ya gotta play metal through the subs. Certain songs it gets muddy, but most are freaking awesome!!!! I haven't had subs since I got the Vibe back so I can't think of a good song.Two cd's though,:DJ Irene: RockstarDJ Baby Anne & Jen Lasher: Sound Assualt (I think) Disc 1 (Baby Anne's)

Laugh all you want:Regina Spektor : FidelityI don't think I've heard a song hit cleaner or harder in my car. Completely unexpected. Other favourites:NERD : Rock Star (Jason Nevins remix)Beastie Boys : IntergalacticI've got to scroll through my bass playlist when I get home. My brain is frozen right now.

Gorrillas - Clint Eastwood (gorrillas in general)Slightly Stoopid - (anything)Old Dave MathewsSome of the newer Bloodhound Gang stuffOldschool Dr.Dre (da cronic) and Snoop

If you like rap Gorilla Zoe - Dope BoyGorilla Zoe - I' DumbSt. Raw - Ni**as Bleed Busta Rhymes - I Got Bass Young Jezzy - Halloween Massacre

lol, i agree with Fidelity.....that hits the speakers HARD!!!some other tracks that hit them hard..Mad Izm - KRS and Channel Live...Dare - GorillazHandle Me - Robynanything by DJ Magic Mike....in fact, Miami bassmusic in general sounds good on a good stereo...

Two come to mind immediately:White Zombie - More Human Than Human (Meet Bambi In The King's Harem Mix)Andy Hunter - The Wonders Of You

I see that abbotlex has some metal in him, but am I the only one that loves some d&b and trance (techno for those that don't know) through subs?

Dr. Dre. The Chronic. FTW

I can't think of anything I like off the top of my head. DJ Tiesto is pretty awesome. I like the Lovestoned remix.And I see you like Metallica by your display pic. The Black Album is one of my favourite albums (even though I know it's radio-play...).Quote, originally posted by kunkstyle »Beastie Boys : IntergalacticAgreed, it hits very nicely. I'm going to add that to my list!

yeah, it is hard to pick out a particular sound. Live sets or cd's are easier for techno. So far I haven't found anything Tiesto that I don't like!!Yeah, the Black album is a classic. I just wish the first 4 records were mixed and produced as well as the Black, then that would lead to some crazy double bass and off time bass!!

ok....on the techno tip...that hit the speakers goodMassive Attack w/ Mos DEF - I Against I$$ Troopers - HuaratronDo It Again - Chemical Brothersand that Lazersonic Transformers vid that wason the net here and there...i have a 320k bitraterip of that vid....and it POUNDS the speakers....

#3 and #5 i think from the xXx soundtrack disc 2(the orange disc) they are both birdman and they BUMP

Quote, originally posted by Wolfman213 »I see that abbotlex has some metal in him, but am I the only one that loves some d&b and trance (techno for those that don't know) through subs?Tiesto, BT, Armin Van Burren, Paul Van Dyk, etc., etc. They're all great. I don't know if they're "sub" music though. Definitely better with a good amp and sub of course.

Yello particularly Oh' yeah and the Raceor the Propellerheads have a few like Bigger and Echo and Bounce

I'm also going to add:Bob Sinclair - Sounds of FreedomIce Cube - Why We ThugsJahfus feat. Ray J - Shut It All DownPlaya Fly - Nobody Needs Nobody

my theme song is the Prodigy's "Voodo People Remix", i also like "Under my wheels".i don't like to just listen to single songs but the artists i like with the sub:Atomic CatDisturbedFlyleafSoilFreezepop MorningwoodJourneyi have others i may list later.

IIRC "Smack my B**** up" was good for bass too, but it's been forever since I've listened to it.

Freezepop +2DisturbedStaind - "Right Here Waiting", "It's Been Awhile"Young Jeezy Lord of the Rings Soundtrack (Trust me. You'll be surprised!)Chemical BrothersKanye West - "Heartless", "Amazin'"Flo-rida - "Elevator"Radiohead - "Creep"T.I. - "50 Bars"SnoopThree Six Mafia - "Late Night Tip", "Side to Side"Korn The Crystal MethodDaft PunkAC/DCI love all genres so I have plenty of songs I love to work out my sub.

I've been on this soul kick lately, so I'll have to say:Al GreenMarvin GayeJames Brownand a few other random bits:TV on the RadioSublime/Long Beach Dub AllstarsBeck (especially Midnite Vultures)Massive AttackPrimusCody Chesnutt ("the headphone masterpiece", worth checking out)and in the hip-hop realm:Digable PlanetsGorillazBeastie Boysand of course Ween. Ween sounds good on anything.

I'd go with... Crystal Method - High RollerProdigy - Charly (Trip into Drum and Bass mix)Portishead - NumbEvil Nine ft. Aesop Rock - CrookedCypress Hill & Sonic Youth - I Love You Mary Jane And for my (removed)? pick...Fiona Apple - Sleep to Dream

I'm going to have to put another word in for Slightly Stoopid.... (Closer to the Sun and Everything you Need, being the best)If you are into regge and liked/loved Sublime, this is the new band for you... I was DL'ing and listening to some last night and well, I can't WAIT till I get my install finished...

^^^ Closer to the sun is a great track

Hey redlava...Fiona Apple's "Criminal" is great too.Kenny

I have two favorites.Mindless Self Indulgence - Bring the Pain18 Summers - Sensation White (If you can find it. Took me a while to find a copy)

Quote, originally posted by kmvibe »Hey redlava...Fiona Apple's "Criminal" is great too.That's another surprisingly bassy song.

Quote, originally posted by Goldfish »I have two favorites.Mindless Self Indulgence - Bring the Pain18 Summers - Sensation White (If you can find it. Took me a while to find a copy)yes MSI - bring the pain has some good hits to it, as does quite a few Distrubed, Styles Of Beyond - second to none, def. Groillaz and Kanye wests heartless and stronger, and some of Scions Sample CDs. theres a few more but i have to go back thru and weed them out. though id have a lot more if i had a bigger amp than my weak little 560watt for my 2 12"s

I just want to know who is putting (ah-hem) this collection together?

haha i think you just volunteered for it

Quote, originally posted by abbotlex »I just want to know who is putting (ah-hem) this collection together? I can do it and put all the songs people add on the first post. Think I should?

If you want something that will make the subs move 36 mafia's Late Night Tip That is where its at, very low and long bass notes.Aron

Quote, originally posted by Amtron »I can do it and put all the songs people add on the first post. Think I should?NO! well, if you are making a list go for it. i wouldn't put up links to downloads or anything because of RIAA /fume!

Want something to work out the WHOLE system.... Mighty Mighty Bosstones... I can't wait to finish my system just to try out "Where'd you go"Where'd you go.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...latedThe Impression that I get... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7A8Mkg1qYQSo Sad to Say... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVhBrSGjgYw

Testing a sub isn't just how deep one can get either, it's also about the authority it produces notes, the "kick" weather or not the notes "overhang" there are a lot of different factors.. DMB has some crazy bass in the old stuff, as well as Manson..

On some song I play on my subs I get like a rattle or not much of akick, but more of a vibration noise. Is this more of a problem of how the song sounds on it's own, or is my subs, or is it my amp? Would a bigger amp fix this problem?

Quote, originally posted by Sublimewind »DMB has some crazy bass in the old stuff+1Man, I forgot about 'where'd you go'. Used to love the Bosstones.

Outkast - Intro (from the Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Album, I forget which disk).This is the first song I ever heard while riding in a car with subwoofers and I was thoroughly surprised the little 93' Civic didn't rattle itself apart.

What sort of box are they in sealed/ported and how big? What are they? (the subs) and how are they wired (DVC/SVC, dual 4ohm coils..ect)what amp? At what point in a song does this happen? Is it just the VERY low notes?

I can't believe I forgot about this one but:DJ Aphrodite's Remix of I Got Five on It.

Belly - I'm the manLove the lyrics haha

If you explain it to me I'm sure I could figure it out.The amp is a 600 watt or 650 watt Sony Xplod. And this seems to happen on the more low notes. Like a longer note seems to not bump as much. The longer bass notes just don't sound as nice, do you know what I mean?Another thign it could be is the cold. The warmer my car, the better sounding I find it. It's pretty cold out recently, but it's warming up.Quote, originally posted by tribalman »hardware does matter a bit, but so do the settings. in my system the setting of the HU affect how the sub sound and so do the setting on the amp. i'd say try retuning it. my HU has setting for bass, treble, and sub. the way i do it is i turn off the bass and off the sub. i tweak the treble until it sounds ok. i then turn on the bass. this is the bass that comes out the door speakers. i tweak it until the two sound good together. i add the sub last. i put the HU setting at the middle and then use the amp settings to tweak the sub sound. when i get it sounding ok i try a few different song styles to make sure they all sound good. Thanks for your help. I do tend to tune with my HU a lot, and I find myselfing adjusting the bass with every song. I just checked my HU again and I found some more settings to tamper with. I believe it's called HDU or something? I will check it out when I remember.Another problem I found is when I change the settings with my HU, my subs are unaffected by the subwoofer setting. I used to be able to make it sound better by tuning the subwoofer setting, but now the only thing that controls the subs is the bass setting.

I have the same magnaflow too and love it, you can usually get a used one on ebay or cragislist. I wanted a valid warranty so I got it here. Magnaflow 36356. Also some of the forum sponsors usually have a sale going on. Either way its a great exhaust system, sounds great, and very easy to install.
