ChevyBoy Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 As long as your sound isn't distorted you really should be okay. With me I've heard lots of systems that were quieter then mine but hurt my ears or caused ringing due to distortion. Especially with an overdriven amp or tweeter ive heard that many a times that only distortion does it. eventually bass will do it, but mostly distorted highs. i think its kinda funny that everyone is telling me im gonna go deaf/am going deaf now, but i ask them if they heard a certain thing, and they always so no. thats when im like, nuff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOso Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I used to ride around with my shit on full tilt but it has since been removed so now I roll around with none. Although my wife insists I have hearing damage and I just tell her no its called selctive hearing.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass just doesn't seem to hurt my ears as long as it isn't distorted & such.

Dozier Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well before I came into the Marine Corps, I did not have anything other than 2-12's and now after playing the 6-12's I had in my explorer until last year...I cannot pass a hearing test. I played it full tilt every day...every where I went....Paying for it now and in the future. Don't care though. I still love my subs.

Amalan Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 someone correct me if im getting out of line here but from what i remember your ear has small hairs that vibrate to send the sound signal to your brain but if a loud enough sound comes it can make those hairs fall out and they never grow back so you have less signal being sent to your brain which causes deafness. low frequency sounds do not make these hairs fall even at high volumes because the hairs fall out do to the magnitude and wavelength of the sound coming into your ear. if the magnitude and wavelength is greater than the hairs can reproduce i guess then they end up falling off. low frequency sounds have such a low wavelength that its pretty damn hard to go deaf from it. what you could be going deaf from is all the speakers and tweeters blaring trying to keep up with the subs. i felt like i heard that somewhere but maybe im just pulling that out of my ass so someone correct me if im wrong but i believe im at least somewhere in the ball park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
