As a sound tech, I have had the opportunity to stand in front of some very
large sub cabinets. These buggers would blow your clothes similar to
having
your back to a 40mph+ wind.

I have an old Fender Super Twin Reverb concert amp with 395 watts of
peak music power out. 195 watts RMS. (6, 6L6s) I can guarantee when
it's cranked it'll snap your pant legs like a blast out of an air hose
when you pop a low E string.

You bet!
What I left out was that it wasn't a constant "wind". As you know it's the
back and forth of the subs that make your pants snap. The subs I routinely
use are 8 cabinets (Peavy UDHs if your into it) w/4 16" black widows
ea.,using a 2kw Crown amp to drive each cabinet.

No collapsed lungs after this many years, but it will give you an
upset stomach with too many low notes.

Ah Ha! So that's what it was! ;-)

They have left welts on my legs from my jeans snapping on my skin, but I
never lost a lung tho.

What say?? Speak up.
