Prochargers are on sale for another 8 days. $500 off...

Next time try turning them inside out so they are fresh.

Jesus kid. You change cars like most change underwear.

ahh, I was beat in the le argh. Have a good one Kent!

Not a week, just a shift.You got my then

Bad assumption, most people have it though since you hear pain at high frequencies. Distortion creates more energy under the curve. Driving an amp to distortion of course should then cause more pain. *not stating Marshalls sound bad, but I know I saturated mine on purpose to get the right distorted sound. It is extremely complex system to recreate. Tons of researchers working on it, I know most of them. Hear better? Nope. More sensitivity? Definitely possible. Nice part about artificial mechanisms is that they have a gain knob. Frequency response and detail is nowhere near what the natural ear can do, but obviously the implants prove it isn't like we need the fidelity we have. Personally I would like to keep mine.

Is it true that higher frequencies are more damaging? Obviously MOST peoples lower end is louder but is there any truth to higher frequencies being more damaging?Do you want to be the guinea pig they use to study that? Generically speaking the answer is no. Loud is loud and loud is damaging. Tinnitis and other hearing related health conditions may be more prone from high frequencies, but actual damage is a physical phenomena and low frequencies have as much if not more capability to cause damage than high frequencies. And the guinea pig comment was a joke. I do a ton of work measuring cadaver ears. Obviously the window where they stay viable is very short, but information can be gleaned from these. Chinchilla's are also very interesting targets as their ears are very similar to ours and you can remove a bunch of tissue and keep them alive for a long while to investigate how their hearing mechanism works and effects of other acoustic phenomena.

Exactly, and if you get information from anywhere else that states differently it is flat out wrong.

Get ready to be misinformed. How many people do you know that don't think their setup is "right"? Also amusing how we offered to help you design a box with a 4th order response, but you aren't interested since it isn't what you are doing...but yet you are going to ask about a 4th order design.

Sounds like a normal week to me,

ANY high level sound source is damaging. All damage is permanent. Your hearing is the only sense you have that is best the day you were born. It degrades from that point out. You learn to perceive it differently, but as a transducer it is failing. Low frequencies are particularly difficult since they aren't that fatiguing. It is easy to convince yourself since they don't ring or it isn't bothering you that it isn't doing damage. It is and big time.

Since I've driven by that

Pretty sure it's Kay though

Half that was

And you don't watch TV...KFAN, sports radio. I listen to it ALL the time. Tons of diamond commercials on it. Hal perhaps.

You seriously think any world champ in any style of box has built it off some arbitrary ratio? What is your magic ratio is for a normal ported box?

Man the world is full of morons.

First, 4th order is NOT a bandpass. 4th describes the roll off of the enclosure. A simple ported box is a 4th order. The rest of your babble has me convinced you have been extremely confused by others. You obviously don't care to hear that nor will you do anything different no matter what we say, so that being said I think you should do a 3:1 ratio and just build your box. I'll give you another hint into reality though which you missed the first time. Anything relying on a rule of thumb doesn't always hold true, ie, using a ratio for a box is absurd. Enjoy yours.

Not if they are built on some "ratio", not even close.
