Damn DJ's throwing in air horns, moose calls, crazy ass gun sounds, waka flocka yelling, and on top bass boosting the heck out of the song. 128kbps sounds muffled not clean sounding bass nor loud.

Sigh..

Click this link and show us your results.

Do atleast 15 tests.

Symbols in the 128 are not as distinct. I can show you songs that you can tell a huge difference on 320 compared to 128. Plus that crap is just coming out of my computer speakers and those are not anything to brag about lol.

Keep in mind that if the music is digitally clipped, then no matter how high the bit-rate is, it's still shit.

I've found some artist release poorly master music, mostly rap artist. The are fond of the square wave bass lines.

both chambers are identical .....1014280_10201166830834299_42807023_n.jpg

The guy that says it your box may be on to something...your ports are right at the sub mounting face.

You are definitely dealing with multiple issues though - poor quality source (probably originally clipped), boosting the bass, box issues, gains arent set clean.

A final thought, it's cheaper to purchase good quality clean sourced music than to use free you tube music and damage your gear.

Funny how nobody dares to post the results, you need to have quite good equipment to find the difference.(I'm sure more then 99% of the members of this site don't qualify)

Bitrate isn't that important, what is a lot more important is how the music has been mastered in the studio.

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Those ports are awful. They should stay to the rear of the chambers.
