I prefer wearing headphones in the car over listening to car speakers for several reasons. For one thing the phones cut out a lot of road noise inside the car, but the main reason I like them is because they just sound better than car speakers. You can hear every detail in the music and you get the full imaging effect, i.e., you can hear how certain sounds come from the left or the right, and everywhere in between; something I've never been able to achieve with car speakers, which is probably due to the horrible locations of car speakers.
However, the one shortfall of headphones is their lack of low frequency punch. I'm wondering how using the headphones for the freqs you would normally get from your mids and tweets coupled with a sub, or subs would work.
In my system, I have 2 separate HUs (I have an in dash CD/receiver and an XM receiver), so I would need some sort of a pre-amp that I could plug these units into, and it would also have to have at least one, but preferably two phone jacks. Are pre-amps for car audio even made anymore? I already have a pair of subs and an amp I can use. Do you think this is doable, or is this just a stupid idea?
