Default The Absolute, Hands Down Best and Cheapest Mod for Your Stereo System in the Z!!!



Before you laugh, I got this idea yesterday and bought it at CVS. Holy cow! I had no idea what I was missing in sound quality and imaging... You can only get to 30% of your ear with regular cleaning and what's strange is that I just had a hearing test for work and it was 100% perfect.


The highs are much more tinkley and the bass has more "presence" if you will. Try it out, this is an awesome "mod", lol...

+1 (i'm married) U have to upgrade all speakers home and car to drown out the wife noise. It's kind of irritating like alternator whine.

Not just the audio, but this could help a lot of people.

I'm actually fascinated with the inner ear. One time, at band camp, I had an obsession with pouring water in my ear and when the pressure was right, it would sink down (don't think it got past the drum though). However, I did it so many times that I lost my equilibrium once and I fell over. lol

...but yeah, I don't really use cue tips anymore, I use a paper clip that I have bent a little out of shape. It catches everything. I've pulled out some stuff before that was pretty shocking but nowadays my ears are spotless.

Seems to me spending 3k for a new stereo system would be a better option, not married but have a longtime GF.

I get to the doctor office every now and then for a proper ear syringing,....having a doctor clean your ears is the best and safest way.



And ear-coning has worked well for me over the years except the very last time I did the ear coning I had an ear infection shortly after so not sure if that was the cause.
What an unusual post!


Aside from that, buy better speakers for your 350Z, I dont know what Nissan was thinking when they put those pieces of crap in the Z for us to listen to.
