Turn the music down and save your ears, I have a friend of mine who is now a part owner of Sounds Deluxe, Chicago. He got his SUV filled with 3 of those RFL's pushed them real hard, it turned out that he busted the ear drums in his ears. He didn't know about it because he was driving around, bass still felt the same, he said the music just seemed to be drowned out by the bass. Turned out he popped the ear drum and got an infection from it. Kiss his hearing good bye the rest of his life.

Irony at it's best, a guy who know owns part of a competition car audio shop, can't hear anything but the bass that the shop produces, and even then it is mainly just the feeling of it and nothing else.

Be safe so you can enjoy the rest of your life with hearing.

As for that note, yes it is true, and what it does is it rumbles your bowels and makes you lose control of the ability to keep yourself from shitting yourself. So if you ahve to go to the bathroom and you are around this ntoe for sustained periods of time, then yes you will **** yourself.

This is still all speculation that it can happen, I have never actually ran tests on this just heard and read on it nothing else. Take it with a grain of salt

Now im selling my old car audio, 2 rockford fosgate HE 10's, alpine amp, sealed box, .5 cap, anyone wants it, email or pm me, im selling it pretty cheap,

edit:
with most of the wires, you would need a rca cable, and power cable to the amp, the rest is all hooked up, and mounted to the box

the brown note is approximately 14 hz, but all of you will blow your subs trying to play it. its well below the human hearing level, and it varies on human weight.

theres also the female orgasm note, aka, resonant frequency of the female clitorus, or as i like to call it, the pink note. that one is around 33 Hz for a girl between the weight of 105-125 pounds. doesnt ALWAYS work, but its been known to have its effects.

i have a feeling this may be BS. I worked at MTX and these subs are not for daily use. SPL comps only. Box designs are 5 - 6.5 cubes per woofer tuned in the 50hz range. I would like to know box size, port dimensions and voltage out when you level matched your amps.
