Note:
 Here we go with the original set. it seems to be working better than any other configuration. I really put my mind to this one and it seems over throwing the signal with functions makes a big signal throw outside of the driver and coil boundary becuase the last configuration seemed ok at first but the signal threw out a lot of compositing and got really weak and didnt sound too good. this tells me a little about the signal processing and the battery and the output to the phones. over complicating the function windows (too many) can case the signal to carry outside of certain boundaries after listening for a while. the battery and the output just kind of loose its grip on the phone over time during the songs. i mean i did notice the wholeness of the signal at first but i think the ion battery in the player cant really keep a steady push of power out and the signal anyway even when i use this set the signal keeps jumping around and looseing its kind of foot.yeah ... the signal really jumps loose because of the ion battery, i think i know that now
