[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8719736, member: 650438"] Thing with class D, you have so much headroom that you never even get close to distortion levels So that claim about class D having more distortion with home audio its as simple as moving the speaker on axis. In car audio, you are stuck with either stock locations or creating new tweeter pods or fiberglassing A pillars so yes its extremely brain dead with no skills needed. The only thing that requires any skill is if your room acoustics have a bass traps, other than that, next to no skills. You dont need extensive EQ work because the response is pretty close to what the manufacturers ideal curve is vs a speaker in an IB environment plagued with unwanted resonances of thin sheet metal of varying thicknesses and a plastic door panel without a proper seal which needs a lot of work and the results is still a crapshoot depending on the door shape. Stock factory locations have the mid and tweeter far way with different directions so you are stuck with off axis performance unless you fiberglass some 3.5 inch mids with tweets in the A pillar. So yes its easy to achieve perfect axis performance in a home scenario without much work or skill. Of course autozone and Best buy know who you are, you are their number 1 customer after all.
