Would it be a good way to test a subwoofer's real capabilities to use those songs from Realm of Excursion and play them on the subs at high volume?

I'm just wondering because I'm thinking of trying it out.

I just tried it out today and it's great indicator of how low and loud those subs really are going.

It also shows how long they can handle the abuse! The sub I'm taking home is the Seismic 10 since it could take the abuse and sounded good until it got below ~17hz

I have a song I downloaded awhile for my computer sub. It's the THX Ultimate Subwoofer Test. I can send it to you if you would like. It has some pretty deep bass, I can feel my ears reacting to it.

I also have some real songs if thats what you are looking for. On my little 6.5 inch computer sub I can feel air shooting out 2 feet away.

Nah, that's the first thing I tried after real songs.

Yeah when I was at my friend's the other month, I turned everything up and played a 40hz tone through my friend's little 4" woofer in a box with a hole in it. Like 10 feet away you could feel the air.

Might I also mention it broke soon.

The hole is called a port.
