As far as headphones, I have a pair of Sennheiser headphones (DJ style, big ones) that sound excellent. Bose is usually a safe bet, too. Big headphones are a pain in the ass to lug around, but damn, they sound good. Especially when you're stoned out of your mind laying on your bed with the lights out and your eyes closed.

go to rat shack and listen to the pro35's u will be amased

you built your own crossovers?
thats weird, i've never seen that before
is it even cheaper then just buying them?
they aren't that expensive
yep sure do, most ppl have not seen it thats why i thought id post on it
its about the same price but if u ever hurd a set u would never want stock ones again the expens is the sound q & sound q is not weird its the best :D

All crossovers are is choke coils man... certain resistance cuts out certain freq's...

I used to get the same kinda stuff from the 'shack for my stuff.

Electronic crossovers are key in the car cuz its easy to tune them but when you KNOW the freq range you wanna cancel its not hard to build you own.
yep yep... cept shack's are not custem and rated @ very low watts

i use electronic in my car most amps have them built in but u still use cap & coil for your tweeters in car audio ;)

420- Looks like you build your own boxes, what kind of material do you use?
yeah man store bought shit blows its neva toned to right freq ( box or crossovers )

i build all my boxex tuned to spec's of the speaker.
i use mdf press bored 3/4"( not the cheaper stuff)
i have built a few box with 1" wood.
allways glue the edges & seal i like window caulk ( clear ) the wht or gray crack after about a yr. use 1 1/2" screws and predrill with countersink allways i drop a screw every 4-6" for sub's & 6-8" for midrange style
