I was enjoying the first truly warmish and sunny day in Seattle this year out on the lake, and I began dreaming about a boat with an awesome sound system. Naturally, that thought process took me to the idea of boat subwoofers, and how awesome it would be to be able to make waves with subs.
SO, my question is: How much power (in dB) do you think would be necessary to create visible waves - they don't have to be huge, just noticeable and "awesome looking" - on the surface, assuming the water is flat?

Easier to expirement with 110VAC and a pool as opposed to out on the water with only 12-14VDC...
So start setting up by a pool and be ready to add multiples!

Your going to need a bigger boat...
The only way is to build a normal sub system for the sound and use some sort of water piston driver under water to make the waves.
I hear the shuttle engines make waves in the small lakes around the launch site during launch events. It has the advantage of having the power output of several electrical power pants and the crackle of super sonic exhaust gases.

Hi,
You can't induce any sort of visible wave in water with audible frequencies.
I guess if you had a sealed bass cabinet flexing due to internal pressure,
the power envelope of the flexing might cause some visible waves if
part of the cabinet was immersed, but isn't what you seem to mean.
rgds, sreten.

Get a big motor and something heavy.
Push the whole boat up/down, left/right, whatever...
Not a speaker, but will give the effect if you get it in time with the music.
