Hello!
My name is Chad. I am a multimedia artist. I am preparing to build a small room with a number of hidden in-wall subwoofers (amplifiers built-in) and speakers. The speakers and subwoofers will be used to evoke physical vibrations in each visitor during the multimedia experience.
I have tested this recently on a large 21in subwoofer and two average speakers at around 45hz and 85dB, 6ft away, to great success! I wish to go ahead and purchase some subwoofers and speakers for more long-term experimentation prior to crafting the installation.
It has been recommended that I look into HSU and SVS subwoofers, at least 10in or bigger. Because of my minimal experience with audio equipment, it was also recommended that I plea for advice from this wonderful community!
Thank you in advance!
Chad

If you are able to build things into the wall or have access to the floor joists. There are these things called "tactile transducers" that bolt directly onto the joists and deliver bass through, as the name implies, direct contact. I suggest you give them a look before dropping excessive amounts on subs. The combination of a medium sized subwoofer and well placed transducers either in the floor or directly on the furniture (if your installation uses seats, for example) will produce a much more visceral experience for a lot less cost. Mind you, this isn't a cost compromise. In my opinion transducers elevate the experience to a level that isn't possible unless you spend lots of money in electronics and construction.

Thank You, Kal!
