Sniper Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 (my last name is Walls, pun intended) So, I recemtly started cranking some oldschool quad force, and noticed something, I could actually feel my ears hurting my bass has a very very powerful peak at 45hz, it makes my head hurt, but i've heard a 140 and a 150, them were both much louder than this, as the 150 really really make my ears hurt (like if I had my ear up to the port of the mtxs, which ive done before on accident, well... I was hooking em up and as soon as I got done, my friend Jason hits the stereo and it starts playing a 50hz pure tone (we use it for setting gain) and my ears felt like they got raped. anyway, this passes what I think the discomfurt level is, I cant really be sure though, I can finally hear the low end to Late Nite tip with this setup, but I really have no idea how loud it is, sounds like 130, but I cant be sure. I dunno, anyone near the Michiana area feel like stopping by to drop some tones and assure me my shit isnt doing 130?

Quote The set up your talking about would sound great in my Tahoe. Trade you my dog for it. He has one eye but that only makes for bad depth perception so hey so what if he is running into shit, look at it this way he is easy to sneak up ninja style on.

RamenNoodles Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 You really cant predict numbers like that man. Probably around a 140 if I were to make a ROUGH guess. Quote Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 true, this is the subs in my closet were talking about too, but like you said, its louder in different spots, for me amazingly its the wall of the room on the far end that is the loudest spot, which is also were my desk is, and in the center of the room its quiet (well, not really), in the hallway its ridiculous, I've already dropped pictures from the vibrations, in the bathroom its a little louder than the center of my room, shower door moves visibly (vibrates around 2mm back in forth), my door knob doesnt move, but the next room over (my parents room), their knob moves, I find it strange cause mines still and actually looser, in their room its all about the same as my listening spot except the direct center of the room (foot of the bed), in the living room its not as loud, but you can hear the house rattling itself apart.

n8ball2013 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 the ear o meter is often very wrong. I had a single re XXX 15 in my car that would pull a 142 at around 35 hz. Was exceptionally painful. the lower you go the more it hurts until around 30 hz then your ears really cant detect it as much. you'll still feel it just not hear it.

Sniper Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 indeed, It's just interesting how loud these things are.

n8ball2013 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) looking at your sig i highly doubt it didnt want to say it. and youd be amazed at how many people think theyve heard 150 daily drivers and never have. its not something you see everyday.
