I am back with another installment of the random audio discussion to get our minds off of work/school/being bored @ home! Today's topic: LIES! How can a company like Pyle or Pyramid, even Sony advertise that their amps, speakers, and subs reach unreal wattage levels when it is physically and...

Doesn't your 2nd paragraph contradict your 1st paragraph? With the same sized surround and equal linear xmax the round sub will have more surface area and therefore higher spl! Has anyone ever brought up in competitions that the square subs are an unfair advantage due to the way they measure...

As to the purpose of this thread, this is the best response. Very entertaining and thought provoking to get my mind off of work. As to the rest of you, we already know the square subs have the largest surface area.. but we have not touched on SQ yet, or the suspension issue that may or may not...

Made it through work yesterday with my last topic so why not try it again. Lets talk about round subs vs the square cone deign such as kicker L7s. Does it affect sound quality any by having a square sub? i would imagine it would in theory create uneven waves out in front of the cone... maybe...

Have you ever been insulted by someone because they have never heard of it? I actually had someone tell me my system in my old car was not worth listening to. They insulted my setup and then refused to listen for themselves. It REALLY cracks me up when someone claims their system is better...

I cannot speak as an expert, but I think most people would say only the front stage is important. I guess it depends on your taste, but most SQ audiophiles would say lose the rear stage all together as it just adds cancellation and imaging issues. the HU powering the rears is Definitely ok...

Ok, im bored sitting at work, let discuss somthing. There are 2 reasons I choose to use not-so-well-known brands in my setups. 1- you can find high quality gear at low prices. example - adire 2 - the next door neihbor's kid that cant figure out why my "crappy gay speakers he has never heard...

I have not purchased that yet, so thank you. And i DO plan on building my own box, the $150 was for the Shiva. Of course they are out of stock like everyone else until late Aug.

Ok, I have made my final decisions on my system. Let me know what you think. 2001 pontiac grand prix gtp. HU - Eclipse cd3403 - $200 acaraudio front - rainbow SLC230.02 5 1/4" components. (alumapro - $250)live next to them front amp - jl 300.2 (150W per channel) - $319 acaraudio rear -...

Aye, thats what i have heard, but can they handle 120W? they are listed as 60W max.

I was set on getting a rainbow soundline set of components. I now see that they do not offer the kickbass version in 5.25" They are also very low in the power handling. I am looking to spend less than $300 shipped. 5 1/4" : 5 1/2" comp set. I basically want the best set for midbass with a...

on a side note: WHEN ARE YOU GETTING YOUR ADIRE AUDIO STOCK IN!?!?

Marksound in schaumburg.

Just got myself a 2001 grand prix gtp. It contains a bose premium sound system as is. Here is my plan. I would like feedback on it, and if you have a better idea for a cetain parts of the system. I enjoy mostly techno/trance and rock, however I listen all genres of music. sq > spl. head...

I drive a 2001 grand prix gtp. I actually was rather impressed by the stock (premium) bose component system in the car. Now, of course I want somthing better. I have the back end sub department covered. I am looking just at the front end performance. I have looked at Focal Polyglass 51/4"...
