Shockwave, thats exactly what i mean. it also seemed to lack the clarity that would have been provided by less high freq roll off. at least thats how it sounded to me.
after years of trying different audio mods to CB radios, it seems like most of them will increase your PEP, but dont really do anything to add more actual modulation. by that i mean the loud punch that makes the listener have to turn their volume down when you key up.
for example, ive run my DX929 for years with an NPC mod, dual finals, and the "RWOB". the PEP swing was awesome! but since going back to stock (just for fun) and just a good tune up, the audio itself is noticeably louder to my ears.
the way i would describe it is "more present in your ears".
doing this has changed the way i think about audio mods. i still do NPC mods for people because thats what they want, and they sound good when they leave my shop, but for my own radios, im going in a different direction.
i imagine many of us have found this out over the years; im just a late bloomer i guess. LOL
