Some advice from the Experts

Play With The Equalizers ,but carefully...
As in your home-stereo , most mp3 players give you the option to modify the level of the sound ,separately for
many frequency areas.You want more bass ? Just put the lower frequencies louder,etc

Tips
----
1. When you listen to the music through the computer speakers ,don't put the bass in more than 0 db ,cause their
woofers (if there are any) have limited bass extension ,and overloading them may damage them (when the sound is
distorted you must lower it immediately ,or else it will be distorted for ever).

2. When you use an external amplifier (see Throw Away Your Computer Speakers ) it is recommended that you have
the equalizers in flat mode ,and use your home-stereo 's tone balancers.That's because every time you extend the sound
for an amount of 3 db , you force your amplifier to provide the double amount of Watts RMS to your speakers,
which is dangerous for both the amplifier and the speakers.

Example:You own a home stereo which has an 100W RMS amplifier and 120W RMS speakers ,you are safe ,right? Of course NO!
If you have the volume of your home-stereo at 90W RMS for example ,and equalizers in flat mode ,everything is alright,but if
you decide to increase the upper frequencies at +3 db ,then your tweeters will be hit by 180W RMS packets ,and then you can
say good-bye to them.

3. How do i understand if my speakers are in danger?
   -If at a current level the bass is distorted and clipped , that means that even the amplifier is having difficulties carrying the
    big loads ,or your speakers are about to be toasted.
   -If the "s"s  that comes from the singers are heard like "SSSsss" then your amplifier is again in trouble ,and the tweeters
    are losing vitality.

4.For better sound it is recommended that the equalizers are in configured in a continuous line

Examples

+3 db   ----_                     _-----------
                   \                   /                               Right
+0 db--------\---__------/------------

-3 db
 
 
 

+3 db   __                  _------
                         __                _                         Wrong
+0 db-----__--------------------
                                                              _____
-3 db
 

5. Finally it is recommended that you don't increase the pre-amplifier level , especially if you have already increased any
   equalizers.

6. And something to know:  It is not the great levels of sound that destroy the speakers , but the sudden drop-outs,
    which occur when your amplifier is forced to provide more power that it can really handle.
