Topic: You might get a kick outa this!

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

For those of you in the USA and abroad, let me explain that Bristol Motor Speedway is a half mile long oval race car track in the USA. It's also the largest enclosed arena in the world. They have a project going in to improve their sound system. It's called Colossus and this is their new sound: 540,000 watts powering 380 3-way loudspeakers and 48 stadium subwoofers, Colossus’ sound system will go boom. By comparison, the former system featured 2,400 watts, 10 2-way loudspeakers and 8 subwoofers. Colossus provides a listening distance of no more than 90 feet from speakers to ears, compared to a previous listening distance of 200-400 feet. The quality of the system’s speakers means there will be less than 3 decibels of difference among any seat in the grandstands. The sound system hosts 40 miles of cabling. I would like to get my hands on that volume knob!!:)
