i know u see me
steve meades tahoe was my inspiration.... crushed on 6's. and omg i got a ***** when i seen his wilwood 16" rotors and 6 piston calipers!
You need to stop now then. TRUST ME... I've been doing car stereo for 12 years (6 professionally) and my hearing is screwed. I kept going louder and bigger. My left ear would go funny every once in a while, but I just blew it off. Then, it bled. Then, my left ear started to amplify the bass coming in to it. Just the regular radio and stock speakers would be too much bass for it and I would have to turn the bass off (all the way down) for about 3 days until it went back to normal. Even someone talking to me would sound funny because the low tones in their voice would be overkill. Still to this day, if I play a stereo loud for even a few minutes, this happens. It also happens when I get sick (like a cold or something)
It really sucks and I wish I wouldn't have been so naive when I was young and dumb...

STeve Meade also built a 30,000 watt Escalade.

search kasey in his youtube videos I'm in 4 of them.
heard his tahoe with 4 18's and 23,000 Rockford Fosgate watts, now he is upgrading to 8 RF t2500 amps for a total of 30,000 watts on 4 of his own 18's the Ascendant Audio SMD sub that is rumored to come out soon
, I heard his friends caddy that he built which is 8 18's on 2 15,000 watt RF amps that retail at $20,000 each and his civic which has 2 18's and 10,000 RF watts.
all of them are insane in their own way.
join his forum stevemeadedesigns.com/board for more information on the builds with pictures.
oh and he has been doing car stereos and has been getting louder and louder setups every year for 26 years and has perfect hearing.
bass doesn't do nearly as much damage as the mids and highs (aka actual door speakers) because of the low frequencies.

I've toned it down.. I havn't had quite what you've experienced yet.. but I know I can't hear real high frequencies in my left ear. I run my system much lower when i'm listening it to it continuously.. and every now and then I'll listen to a song at 80% (the highest i'll turn it up)..
I work on the flight deck around jet engines all day.. so either my system is going to do it.. or my job.
Thanks btw.

actually true, not saying base is safe but high are worse when it comes to hearing damage
Eagle
Thansk for all the help -STAFF!
just more noticeable, and more common.

it all is equally unsafe, what builds pressure inside the cabin, trust me, it's not a tweeter playing 20K. All of it plays a part, subs, which causes the most lower frequencies, and pressure on the eardrum is also just as unsafe. You could sit in a truck like that, even with no tweeters/mids playing and rupture an eardrum.
All is unsafe, just don't want it out that really bass is 'safe' or safer is all.

Damage is directly related to dB.. regardless of the frequency.
Sit in that truck for 2 minutes, or come work out on the flight deck with me for 8 hours.. get exposed to enough dB for enough time.. you're f*ck'd

Exactly why I've gone more to a quality system as opposed to a loud system. Dynamat, audio processor, surround sound, dolby etc...
I've def. lost some hearing, not only from my car but from clubs. When you walk out of a building and everything seems to be at lower volume, and there is a slight ringing in the background...you know you did some damage
