alrighty...youve come to the right place :P

Paul Van Dyk - We Are Alive
Paul Van Dyk - We Are Alive (DJ Icey´s Arctic Bass Mix)
Sonic INC - The Taste of Summer
Oceanlab - Beautiful Together (Signum Remix)
iio - At The End (Scumfrog Remix Live Rip)

Only a few off the top of my head....but definetly check them out and let me know how they are...

 

if you want a workout for your subs, drop in some drum 'n bass

anything from dillinja, bad company, ed rush and optical, a good place to start would be getting a well-mixed compilation, I'd recommend Dieselboy's "Soldier's Story"

 

Mickey Hart
Meshell Ndegeocello
Delerium
Most Nettwerk compilation CD's
Jeff Beck - You Had It Coming


Sorry, most of these are not house music. But all have really good low bass. And several have great drums and then of course Beck's guitar can do anything he asks of it. I probably have at least 20-30 more downstairs.

 

not really bass stuff but you said trance/vocal...

Dj Darkzone
Dj Mystik
Dj Eion
Dj Epic
Dj Tandu/ayla

 

should people who only listen to rock.alt rock. and punk even have subs?.. thats all i lsiten to.but im thinkign about buying some subs anyway just to get the full range of music. what size are best if you listen to rock/punk..

 

Nirvana
Nine Inch Nails
I think I already mentioned Jeff Beck
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd, and it's members solo stuff
U2
Bjork
Tool

For subs, bigger is almost always better. For rock and alternative a sealed box is best because ported will miss too many of the notes. The range that must be covered is too great for a simple ported or bandpass system. If you went ported, you would need to tune low to keep from blowing the sub.

 

more smaller sized subs do good for that kind of music

2 10s or 3 8s i guess.. tighter sound is better for rock

 

depends on what u like/buy...some of the rock stuff has good low bass 2, like mentioned tool, linkin park, and some others...but my bass hits a little on all my music...

however, i hooked up a single shiva 2 300ish watts and it wouldnt hit the high stuff well, even in a small box...but when 2 of them put together get 750 watts each...it pounds on everything believe me...a smaller, sealed box is the way 2 go...

 

Bass Mekaniks mother ****a!

 

?.sory im a noob to music stuff.. i can unnderstand machanic car stuff but this isnt mreally mything.. what is sealed box, ported? what are the diferenced, pros/cons of each.. im prolly thinking 2 10's or 1 12.. thanks for any info u guys can help me with.

 

Read the Faq's. Then skim through the posts for the past couple months. Then skim through the posts at carsound.com or any other large car audio forum. After that if you still have questions, make a post.

 

want lotta bass? get some DJ Magic Mike or any IASCA tracks (turn down volume first!!)

some trance heavy in bass: DJ Shoe, DJ Entity, DJ KayCee - Escape (old but good) , DJ Mystik, Voodoo & Serano, DJ Aligator...
