  1. Thanks for the link
  2. I thought deadener was to keep the sound inside, so are we just trying to soften it or repel the sound, cuz wouldn't house insulation absorb it, I have tons of that. But I am already saving for a new car, I plan to have my own car before the end of may so i will wait until I get a car and see how much money i got then for deadening it.
  3. not that kind, its that tinfoil bubble wrap, that is supposed to be equivalent to a hollow 4 inch thick wall with drywall on each side, i know its not much but it was in the basement and free for me, so i used it and it did help a little I put 2 layers in the hatch and one layer one the sides. i'm poor at the moment.
  4. Ive always wanted to get deadner but this is my moms station wagon, I have used some cheap menards deadner for a house in the rear hatch that my mom had in the basement, but I don't want to put money into my moms car I'm waiting for my own car to go that extensive, i'm looking for ideas that won't cost me more than $50 tops. If its good as is let me know.

    15 inch xcon enclosure with plexi

    cuz of some slight delay he gave me a little discount yay he does have some great customer service if anyone needs a box go through him
  6. I already have audible customs building me a great enclosure with windows on it, but I just wanted to know of any ways to make it sound cleaner and more accurate with deeper bass with what I already have. thanks for all your replys i didnt think to try the mp3 on headphones i will edit this post of I can hear it.
  7. well i tried the mp3 and i was using my 12 inch 3-way 100 watt house speakers that are placed in the 2 front corner of my living room, and i could barely even notice the effect it more sounded like it was going from right to left, so idn, i will go dig around later for it.
  8. at least she lets me put my xcon in it :)
  9. i know its only stereo, but why when i play around with it today did it sound dull without the back speakers? and these are old 90's back speakers to. I will try it when i get my own car again so then i can get nicer front speakers but right now its my moms car with cheap polk db's in it.
  10. well I like my stuff to look stock, and i was playing in my moms car today which has polk db front speakers and infinity speakers from the 90's in the back and when i turned it to only the front it didn't sound as rich and full anymore. and there was some music made in the 80's that was designed four car speakers to manipulate your ears into thinking something was circling around you. it wasn't really going around but it sounded like it. My mom, me and my friends have all heard it. and it only works in cars and quad stereo setups.
  11. but what about my passengers in the back, and this wagon is my moms car. I have read about the rears being useless in some threads, but I haven't been able to test this without a car, but in my mind I don't get how no rears is helpful. what does it do that makes it so great, and what about those songs that where designed for a quad stereo setup. You know those songs that make it sound like something is going around you in a circle. i'm just curious.
  12. my back speakers have a better response, and sound cleaner, plus my amp would be a lil overkill for my 40rms front speakers. My front speakers lack midbass anyways, i love my back speakers. Plus when I did have louder front speakers in my old car i still like the fill in sound in the back plus my back passengers sure appreciate it, and doesn't the extra surface area of speakers add a few db's to it to help with the extreme bass thats pounding.
  13. yes i'm this bored. town of 721 ppl no car no way to get to a job, so no job, so what else is there to do....

    Please, don't use UPS...

    3 weeks ago I bought a used projector on ebay, and it was a working model. So when it arrived through ups i hooked it up it turns on for a minute and then i see smoke coming out the front, I take it apart and the mirror inside was shattered, and the bulb was burning a hole. So I had to get get a custom made mirror. grr at them.

    hmm, the raised lettering isnt bad, but why is it kind of rough around the letters edging? otherwise it looks good so far.

    I got my new xcon YAY! here is my short review.

    mine do need a headphone amplifier, lots of power handling for headphones, I built a homemade amp for them, and wow I don't think I want them to go that loud, plus the school made me throw it away cuz they thought it was a bomb lol. big black box with switches on it hmm.

    ya well even if these aren't that great in the grand aspect of things, they still sound awesome and can make my ears itch from the vibration.

    why are there so many good reviews on these these then? If you want I can get some reviews from some good headphone magazines, who have done plenty of testing compared to its competitors. if not i'll leave u alone.

    I got my new xcon YAY! here is my short review.

    i'm not pushing the matter but, why when i play a 8hz note I can feel the air moving in my ears? and even if the rolloff is a lot, these things can sure make my ears tingle, and they can hurt my eardrums more than my car can. these things cost me $160 when i bought them 3 years ago. ive had them apart for cleaning to, there ported headphones lol.
