well today i just borrowed the massacre album from my friend and i was playing it at low volume. i mean my fawken ears is killing me right now, and so is the back of my head. Does this happen to you guys? i mean im only pushing about 300 watts to my sub and my trebble is at zero and my ears is just ringing badly. i cant imagine my new system which would be double the power, i hope my ears can handle it.

 

i think they call that a headache

i don't constantly blast my music, i just know i have the potential to get crazy loud. i usually have it low to moderate volumes when driving.

 

no but its just this one cd thats causing my head to hurt, and it wont go away. is it because of my equipment?

 

i think it's just a coicidence that you got a headache with that cd?

 

i mean that cd is much louder at lower volumes, but this shiet just kills my ears!! it felt like it was bleeding. btw would bass give you a headache or the trebble does?

 

treble gets to me more than bass. i think high freq causes more hearing loss than low freq.

maybe that cd was encoded at too loud of a volume?

 

i always thought the low freq caused more loss...like when at a show yoo're close to 10 subs, your ears feel like they're plugged for a day after...but I'm no scientist.

 

i have 4 tweeters, one on each coaxial, and two on the apillar from the bose

 

I think your head hurts because 50 Cent is GHEY...

 

lets not get too off topic...

but try it with dif cd's. see if you still get those headaches.

 

no i dont, ive been blasting my downsouth music alllll day long at volume 20, and when i just burned this 50 cd and put it in the car my ears are killinng me

 

most likely recorded at too high at a volume.

 

distortion at high volumes is worse for your ears than playing music at high volumes without the distortion...take a quick hint and hit up NJ asap.

 

Yea i want to talk to you about that, you chage your sn?

 

hey slickrick I posted something on sound illusions, a couple questions actually.

 

exactly why im selling mine.

 

u talkin 2 me?

 

If your ears hurt, then look on your HU. See that thing that says VOLUME? Turn it down.

I'm unoffically giving you teh "Captian Obvious" award.

 

no im talking at low volumes like 5 and 6

 

It's cuz it's 50 Cent. Truly is a painful, ear ringing treatment listenin to his whack as*.

 

theres a few tracks that are good. do you perhaps have alot of noise in your system 2 da max? i dont think its possible though due to the intregrity of the install.

 

I actually get this severe pain in one of my ears if I have the bass up too loud. It wasn't always like this, but now that I'm an old man...

Most studies on hearing loss were conducted to study the effects of a loud industrial environment on your ears. If you've ever known an old jet mechanic than you understand why. These older studies determined that higher frequencies are indeed worse for you than low frequencies. That said, I don't think anyone ever thought to study the long term effects of 35Hz at 150dB, but it can't be good for you.

2 Da Max: that 50 cent cd would give me a headache too. Try knocking the treble down a couple of clicks.

 

Maxima Dan, if you don't like bass that much anymore, you can always give your B12's to me

anyhow, i remember reading an article (think it was either popular science or discover magazine) that low freqs can have a negative impact on the body's internal organs. i have to dig that article up...it made me think twice about blasting my sub

 

I'll keep my Brahmas till I die...or till I'm deaf

You sure you're not talking about the "Brown Noise" LOL

 

dan post up pix of your setup in the sticky thread. i want you to embarrass me.

 

he'll embarrass a lot of people here with his twin bulls

 

wow 2? shiet that = a broken trunk lol

 

I never had a problem listening to music very loud, maybe because its Im 18 years old but Ill almost max my headunit at 28/35 and just roll down the windows...hopefully I dont go deaf in a couple years haha

 

i do the same, you'll live.

 

My ears ring about 20 minutes after I get out of the car. I mainly listen to Nickelback, and other hard rock. A week after I got my system (3 yrs ago) I went back into the audio shop and told them my ears were ringing, but I said the good kind of ringing. I PAID FOR THEM TO RING!

 

2 da max... you are the funniest kid ive ever met. go to DON so you wont get stabbed by local dealers. and please keep that trunk closed when bumping.

 

na man you got to bump with the trunk open so nuccas know what you bumpin!!! btw all those things i told you are true.

cant wait to make the vid of my typer smoke!!

 

I have tons of power in my car, but I never listen to it loud. I just dont feel the need. Maybe your ears hurt because your speakers distort?

 

Nah, my system's not all that...something just doesn't feel right about posting pics of it. Besides, you've got nothing to be embarrassed about.

 

no excuses, post pix man. i need this- old school.

 

show pix! i know i'm not the only one here with brahmas

 

Fosgate fan? Did you finally change your name?

If you want pics you'll have to pm me. I really don't want the whole world seeing my half arsed install.

 

yeah, i was fosgate fan lol, i'm STILL getting used to this new sn.

it's cool if you don't wanna post pics, but you got PM.

 

all i kno is that album has a alot of bass....and wen i listen to it...my ears are in pain from it....

 

My truck's treble was deemed a "Hearing health hazard" by a local nurse... And the pressure from the bass makes my eyes start to dry out. But I only run like that when I'm showing off, or at a sound competition.
