BEST SONG for showing off/demoing Car Stereo

kb100 · 11th June 2006, 12:50

Folks!!...

what are your favourite songs for showing off your car stereo.. Please also elaborate why you like that particular song... as in what part of your ICE it highlights.

Maybe we can all put together a test CD!

One of my all time favourites is "Kiss" by Prince.. and Enigma! Kiss is bass/drum-attack heavy..but Prince croaking/screeching in his characterestic voice gives the mids a good workout too! ... Enigma for its sheer overall brilliance! ... good system will actually put out the enormous headroom in the recording!

Dance Music - SANDSTORM and some fantastic remixes of this number.. (old one... I am an old guy!)

Country - Kenny Rogers - baritone... should make ones hairs stand on end!

basically if you want to show off your ice.youll want to play something which has got good bass.so basically all the songs with a lot of bass.

Sujit, you're a show-off ?

I guess that explains all the pricey ICE.

karthik247 · 11th June 2006, 12:59

RAP Songs should have enough bass to impress..

Ha Ha... Wrong choice of words (- mine that is)!...But most of us are proud of our ICE... I would be too when I'm done ... and dare say might just become one "SHOW OFF" too!! .. however let me clarify..

What is YOUR favourite song that YOU'd use to determine how good a system or the sound is?... Alternatively which are the songs you will use to DEMO the positives of your set-up?

EDIT: Steer.. waiting for you to christen my install thread.. a name pls!!

2. I am a Disco Dancer...
3. Meri Marzee (Govinda's rap)

check the Top 100 German Hits. My CD for now.

And, mallu songs are good for mid/vocal testing. Vadakkunathan, bassy voice of Mr.Lal is a good demo.

nice one Gunbir.lol

Nice one Steer!. Cacophonix. But KB would be Obelix

who fell into a beer barrel.

I remember someone suggeting a cd by Boston Acoustics.

Errr.... Cacophonix turns Harmonix? I'm unsure after this 'show-off' thread and all this talk about big bass.

kb100 · 11th June 2006, 13:28

WHATS ON YOUR TEST CD's.... And no wise cracks like "one 100hz flat line" etc..

I always enjoy those songs which have good mid range though i do like tight punchy bass.
I beleive for any SQ based systems,mid-range is more improtant than low freq [bass]and high freq [treble] sounds.

Rap music is a good choice. One with bass one.
