    have any of you guys heard of this?
    they claim to make a door speaker sound like a 10 sub.:eek:

    or a 10 in sub sound like a 12 or 15.somthing to do about psycho acoustics.:huh: any one know how much these are?
    i cant find a price on it.its the maxxbass103.for cars.:confused:

    wondering if it works or not.idont know how to insert a link,but if you type in maxx.com.just look for the 103.
    it has a video explaining it.sounds strait forward enough.listen with head phones on the demo.

    phsyco-acoustics, I love that term!!! It it is a real term too....


    THis idea has been around for several years. The video did an OK job of explaing it. Basically you take a speaker, send a processed signal, and you can trick your mind, or ears into thinking that you are hearing lower frequencies. The processor samples the music ontinuously and antime a bass note is played, it also sends out another frequency that is a harmonic of the original, when the two frquencies are combined, you "believe" you are hearing another frequency. does the technology work,??? Yes, would i put it into my car,?????No,


    Oh heres a link

    I wouldnt use it because it introduces signals, or sound thatt is not from the original recording. Remember, this is an physco-acoustic effect, the sub=bass your mind is percieving, REALLY AINT THERE!!! It wont make your system louder on a blast mic, nor will it show any real difference on an RTA at the low frequencies. It is a band aid for lack of cone surface area to move air, which is how we get sb-bass. It would be fun to play with I suppose just for the hell of it, but I wont spend money on it!!!

    ok.it says it puts less strain on the drivers.isnt that a good thing?

    i was thinking on useing one for the doors.when i get some funds together.key word "thinking".not sure yet. need to do a lot of research.still cant find a price on one.

    it reminds me of an epicenter.kinda. i heard one one on an 8in bazzoka once.the guy had only 50 watts going to it.

    the diff was night and day.sounded like a 12 with twice the power.

    If the sub-base isn't really there, and they say the voices in my head aren't really there, would the two cancel each other out?

    ok i dug around on the dealer locator and found a shop down the road from me.if i buy direct from them it's like 300 bucks.OUCH!thats too much for me.even if i had the money to spend on it.

    i can use that for much needed sound deadening.............doors........they rattle a little.oh well.

    i might go down for a demo though.am still very curious how they sound in a car/truck.

    Good point, that should enable any factory sytem to well over 3,745 dB at 40Hz....

    Or make your voices that no one else hears actually start to make sense.

    You need more beer, or at least a few shots of whiskey, then call me in the morning and we will see what they say then.

    Hi Viking,

    Westminster, which is like the next town south of there. Northglenn is around 104th, and I'm at 76th. Broncos are doing OK this year. They want ol Jakes head on a pole, and want that new kid in so bad they can taste it. I mean, 5 and 1 ain't near good enough for the people here, don'tcha know.

    Course, the beer and the whiskey made me act on what the voices said, so I had to set that down. Got to the point the police were hearing em too.....

    Godd, glad to know this thread will die off VERY soon!!!!!! tell the sales kid to explain to you why a percieved sound is better than an actual sound, and why they put low profile ires on a 4x4, and why the demo board he is tryin to sell stuff off of has a nice click and pop evertime he changes amps or sources or speakers, then tell him The Viking says he can choke on a C0(k ............I am not godlike, just god like in YOUR eyes, and thats all the godhood I need to be a god, goddamnnit...LOL!!!!!!
