A guy singing on mythbusters did it with 105dB at 556hz. I really want to see a video of someone doing this with there car speakers. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4314 Registered: Jun-04 | you have to find the resonant frequency of the wine glass i belive that how the glass is shattered |

Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 480 Registered: Jul-05 | sean how can i find the resonant frequency of the glass without buying any expensive materials? |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4318 Registered: Jun-04 | I would imagine if you didnt have a meter you could do it by ear and play test tones until you hear the glass resonante the loudest then turn the volume up 105 db isnt loud but finding test tones that go high enough may be hard |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 554 Registered: Sep-05 | its easy! use a frquency generator. hook it to the car amp, and generate the tones, while its being amplified real loud. You can even do a sweep with the frequency generator. Thats if the speakers could take it.. As a matter of fact, didnt they use a freq generator on that same episode? I bealiveve that would be the proper way of lab testing a sub or any speaker also. |

Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 482 Registered: Jul-05 | what tones should i start on like 400 and go up by 10s just to get an idea(400,410,420)? then when i find a few that are good go by 2s or 1s? i have a bass CD but it only does 240hz so ill search the net for some tones. |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 556 Registered: Sep-05 | yea, prob a little tighter. 5hz intervals at first. but guessing, 500-900 can be painfull! But it may very well be way higher like 15K. I forgot the human voice range. ohh, I have some tones for you. yepp, from 5hz - 20,000hz i messenger: valeboykid@hotmail.com |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1624 Registered: Sep-04 | also wont reaml of excursion make u a test tone. if u wanted they could make you like a 400-800hz sweep. oh and make sure to videotape this and dont forget the straw ;) |

Gold Member Username: Sploosh56Ohio Post Number: 1096 Registered: May-04 | video tape it if you break the glass |
|
Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 483 Registered: Jul-05 | i dont think my speakers are loud enough. the glass doesnt do anything and i have it volume 26/30. however at 545hz-560hz it moved a little but it didnt break or even come close to breaking. if anyone else wants to try it please do. im thinking about trying it with one of my old guitar amps because it gets alot louder than my car so maybe it will have enough dB to crack it at least. |
