I have always heard that it hurts your drivers if you touched them. Is this true?

    Only if you touch yourself and the driver at the same time. Common occurance with those 15" Atlas subs. Oh yeah!
    Back to the sub forum.

    It won't give you hairy palms or make you blind. Do it in private though.

    You can touch the drivers, push them alittle even, but don't get too rough.

    I wouldn't touch them while you had music playing. The drivers are trying to move out and by touching them you could possibly damage things. If you want to feel the music, get a big sub.

    Start saving. Check audiogon, videogon, the polk flea market and ebay frequently for good deals. It will be much cheaper that way.

    Can be dangerous on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Talking dirty to the driver isn't nearly as distracting so try that.:D
