Don't think so...I mean, it would probably be marginally better. Best audio format for sq is a lossless one, like .flac . I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong on this.

Now that I re-read your post...I don't think it's your format. Give us some specs...How much power are you running to the speakers? What kind of amps? You might be clipping your signal, thus causing distortion. All things to look at. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

And this would probably work better in the general section, instead of the lounge...

oh my bad i didnt even mean 2 post it in the lounge lmfao... mod move it pleaseeeeeeee //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif anyways my speakers are unampped right now they are running off the HU which is 22x4 and the speakers are 100rms. idk how to fully use the EQ but once i get it set i dont want to be like **** wow if i just would of changed the format it would be wayy better

edit: i know how 2 use the EQ but i dont understand when i make it +6 or -6 besides the way it sounds lol

.midi

Actually, no.

MIDI are good...

But .FLAC is the best quality... seeing how it emulates the CD as a file.

wav

.flac compressed, lossless

.wav uncompressed

Don't convert, just rip your cd's properly using flac
