well I was just told this, I never saw proof, but I thought it was crazy.

ya, thank god my stereo is only one xcon, otherwise i'd probably kill myself lol. Theres a guy who lives in the town next to mine who has 2 12" solo-x's professionally installed, and his ears have already bleed twice and he is only 22. Some people are a little dumb...

Like how high? 170db, 180db? and has it actually happened to someone because I couldnt find anything on google about it, I could find references to it but no actual story about it.

Here is the link to my very first enclosure its on the last couple pages, I didn't wan't to clog up this forum so i'm just posting a link. Enjoy! 15" xcon house build?? - SSA Car Audio Forum - Page 3 Remember this is the first enclosure ive done so its not bad.

Now that is a real horror story....

I will try powering them with my amp but I cannot change there location which is on the dash pointing up towards the windshield, since its my moms car.

I have been reading and I will continue to read, I check this site about 20 times a day. I post topics like this to help pass by the time, and to have something to talk about.

Well I get my license April 19th which is about 3-4 weeks away so, it won't be long, and then I can start looking for a job.

With a sucky front setup, you're simply relying on the rears (which I assume are 6x9s) to make midbass in the 80-200Hz area. With a good front setup, you'll never miss the rears. Easy, right? I don't know if you guys realized, but i did post this asking for suggestions to improve my car stereo setup for free, it does says I have no money in one of the posts in this topic. So why are you guys not even paying attention to what I asked and are suggesting deadener and new front speakers that will cost me a lot of money that I don't have and won't have for months.

how do you know if the deadener page sunk in or not, I have not mentioned a single thing about deadener since I have read it?

I just got my new ssa xcon today in the mail. i hooked it up in a 3.6 cubic foot enclosure tuned to 32hz. It is only its test box until I can afford a proper enclosure. Its getting 1600rms from a hif\onics brutus amp, and this thing sounds great and goes loud, I will post up pictures and videos tomorrow once I fine tune it to the best it can get under the circumstances. I can't wait until I can get a new amp and enclosure this thing will rock. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

also I built that headphones amp 4 years ago when I was 17 I was a bigger noob then than I am now.

................................ i never said a knew everything, I know I don't know lots of things yet people tend to not understand this and they think I am not believing them which is false, I do believe what you guys are saying, buts its called debate, i am a debate kind of person and I like to talk things over thoroughly so it is well discussed. And I do know that that is why headphones hurt more, thats a given. and it really is in my storage shed, I really can't understand why you guys don't believe this, its not something that was hard to build so why doesn't anyone believe me that it exists.

ok... I will look up those things, I have already read the deadener page but I will look the other stuff up to. Also I have been spell checking alot of my post lately.

I will do so.

but its a storage shed 20 miles away, i don't have a license so how am i supposed to get it. I will post pics if you want when i get around to going out there but idn when that will be

well i have to wait to get my license first, and I do get ssi cuz i'm autistic. and for my car I am going to be selling my gaming pc, plus what ever else I can find worth money.

And do you guys have to pick on the autistic kid. just leave me alone. ive got enough depression issues as is.

wow you guys gotta get technical, I can't believe how rude people can be in this world. would you rather put together a ghetto amp or pay over a $100 for something that does almost the same thing, only difference is the $100+ one sounds little better but cost tons more. but seriously I said built,I didn't say built from scratch, and yes you did build a sandwich. anything you put together from other pieces is building. I did take batter connectors and a soldering iron, and headphone jacks and re-wired volume knobs, and a power switch, it was meant to be simple omg. experiments, this kind of stuff is really starting to get to me.

Its in my storage shed so idn about pics, but it was and amp out of some old premium computer speakers from the late 90's the sub blew, so i took it apart and I wired it to run off of two 9 volts and the headphones where getting about 2.5watts per channel which was a tiny bit overkill but I kept internal volume set at one setting, those headphones could sure make my ears vibrate and tingle lol and when a deep not hit i sweat i could feel the air moving idn if it really was but it sure felt like it (in my ears). and i put it all in one of those radioshack diy kit enclosures.

Thanks, When i get my own car I plan on investing in some of the best SQ speakers for the front.

umm forward but i like the way it sounds when the sound is everywhere when its just the front speakers its just coming from in front of me, which when i'm listening to music I like the around you sound like you get with good headphones.

But I have researched, and i have read atleast ten different topics on here about front speaker and no rear speakers, but from my own experience I don't see how it better.

i have beleived everything except the no rear speaker thing, im not saying its wrong in the proper setup but in my wagons stock speakers holes it doesnt sound anywhere as good as when I have the back speakers on.

why? i'm just trying to make some conversation to pass by the time, and to see if anyone sees any setup flaws that I am missing. and this is the off-topic section anything goes in here. I like to overly make sure of everything I don't just like to hear something i like to know the facts and and links to extra in depth info, When i want to learn something I want to know every aspect of it. If everyone would answer my questions with great detail or links to a site with great detail explaining how it works, and exactly how to set it up then i would be ok thanks and that would be all there would be no debate or doubts. I know most of you know your stuff but it never hurts to want to know the whole story.
