9 of the best action scenes to test your subwoofer

Klipsch Flexus soundbar, subwoofer and speaker in a modern living room with a big wall mounted TV and white media unit.

When you invest in a proper surround sound system for your home cinema, the first thing you might notice is how much more immersive it is, as sound effects swirl around you with pinpoint accuracy. The next thing might be the finer details you can now pick out in favourite films that you’d never noticed before. But without a doubt, the most impressive thing you’ll notice – the thing that you’ll sit your friends and family down for, to show them just how good your new system is – is the extra bass you feel in those big action scenes.

It might not make your neighbours happy, but sofa-rumbling bass is the crowd-pleaser when it comes to home cinema, and we’ve picked out some of our favourite action scenes to give your sub a real workout. What are your favourites? We’d love to hear them in the comments.
