0:00 I'd like to introduce you to the Sinbin

Alright folks, I'd like to introduce you to the Sinbin. Excuse me. There it is. There's the one. I have done a video on that already. It's from a company called Intimidation. What you've got in there is one 12-inch bass driver, 500 watts continual power. That's one and that's the other. If you notice, they're on the floor sideways. Well, there's a reason for that. You can see there, there's the porthole there. For one of them, that's the port hole for the other one. The reason I've got them like that is if you're going to use these for install purposes, that's how you'd have them. By putting the one next to the other like this, you'll actually get an extra 3 dB which is known as decibels worth of bass. Now when we talk about an extra 1 dB, 2, 3, we're not necessarily on about a percentage, in other words, you know, an extra 3%.

1:27 Each one of these speakers is 8 ohms

An extra 3 dB in sound is almost, I'm not saying it's the equivalent of double, but it's one hell of a lot more compared say to just that one by itself. What's happening now is these two are working in tandem. So I'll explain exactly how I've got this set up. I've got from the mixer, I've gone out of the mixer into the crossover at the top there. What I've done then, I've gone from the crossover, from the bass out into one side of that amplifier. I've gone from one side output of that amplifier into one of those speakers and then I've gone from that, I've linked it to the other one. Each one of these speakers is 8 ohms. I've gone from that one to that one. By adding these two together, I've now gone down to 4 ohms.

2:24 I'll tell you what we'll do

We'll be able to run speakers at 4 ohms a side. So, that's how I've set it up. Now, again, it's very difficult for you to get a true, proper idea of the sound that these guys will push out. But what I'm going to do, I'm going to set it on the crossover so you're going to listen to the sound below 100 hertz. Now, it does rattle the entire building. In a sense, what I want you to listen to is the sound of the entire building rattling. So hold tight. Right, there we go. What I'm going to do is... In fact, what I'll do, I'll have the crossover so it's set to the high mark so we'll get loads of high frequency as well. And then I'm going to slowly move the crossover frequency down so we can go from mid, bass...

All the way through down to just mid and you'll see exactly where I'm coming from. Right, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll put on Freaks The Creeps Get On The Dance Floor because it's quite a good bassy sound to begin with. So, right, let's put that on. Now you can hear a lot!
